Spry Navigation Bar

I'm new to dreamweaver CS5 and have created a new spry navigation bar. Is there a way to create one generic navigation bar to be used in several different pages so when I have to update the menus, I don't have to change each spry navigation bar for each page. Basically one main navigation bar to be used in several different pages w/out having to create a nav bar for each page.

Spry navigation bar covers flash movie beneath it but not the jpg image, why?

i have a spry navigation bar with a flash movie underneath,
and when i hover over the navbar and the submenu pops down it
covers the flash movie, but it doesn't cover the .jpg image that is
next to the flash movie. how can i fix this? thanks.

thanks for the reply Murray, a responder from the flash forum
gave me the following answer and it worked perfect.>>
The <object> and/or <embed> HTML elements that
reference your Flash content accept a number of optional
parameters. For the <object> element, these parameters are
supplied via nested <param> elements. Simply add the
following new <param>:
<param name="wmode" value="opaque">
The <embed> parameters are supplied via attributes. For
the <embed> element, add the following new attribute:
wmode="opaque"
That’s it. Your Flash content is now stackable via
z-index; for example, you may wrap your
<object>/<embed> pair in a <div> and set the
<div>’s z-index as you please.
<div style="position: absolute; z-index=1;">
<object attributes >
<embed attributes />
</object>
</div>
If you’re using Dreamweaver, just press the Parameters
button in the Insert > Media > Flash dialog or in the
Property inspector when selecting existing Flash content. Type
“wmode” (without quotes) in the name/parameter column
and “opaque” (without quotes) in the value column. That
will handle the above HTML for you, even with the new JavaScript
embedding available since the 8.0.2 update.

Spry Navigation Bars - Make them look GOOD

Have Dreamweaver CS4 PC
Using the plain gray spry navigation bars...im somewhat
new...
Question:
Is there any company that sells or Free to "Change the Look"
of the nav bars easily?
I might w ant to change colors, make rounded edges, make type
smaller, compact specing some, adjust the length.
Does someone have a plugin or extension that works
interactively??
Thanks
Ive searched with little results on customizing spry

A more full-featured menu building tool, with lots of styles:
http://www.projectseven.com/products/menusystems/pmm2/carbon.htm
Another nice menu builder, with lots of styles. Because there
are no timers,
I would recommend these for single-level menus or for menus
with a single
sub-menu level:

Neither is free.

How do I get rid of the white space between my header and my spry navigation bar?

I have been grappling with a problem for the past 2 days and cannot seem to work my way around it. I have been working on a page in dreamweaver cs4 that seems to have whitespace between the header and my spry menu bar ONLY in Firefox. Google Chrome and Safari show it correctly. Could you steer me in the right direction for getting rid of that space. Here is the page: http://www.margaritascafe.com/margaritas_layout.html
Here is my code and thanks in advance for your help:

Spry Navigation Bar going wrong way in IE

I have horizontal navigation bar through spry in Dreamweaver. In all other web browsers, my first level of drop down menus go directly down from the main menu items. In IE they go directly right! Does anyone know what I can do to fix this problem and quickly. My final presentation is Tuesday. I am new to all this and I don't have the foggiest how to fix it! Thanks in advance for any and all assistance with this matter!!!!!!

It would be a lot easier to answer your question if you had a link to your site or at the very laest showed your markup.
I assume that you have made the menu item widths as being auto rather than a fixed width in which case IE will use the full width available to show the submenu items.
To counteract this you need the following style rules
ul.MenuBarHorizontal ul li {
    display: block;
    float: none !important;
    width: auto;
    white-space: nowrap;
    border-bottom: solid 1px #EEE;
The !important overrides the style rule that is given the element by the JS.

Centering a Horizontal CSS only, jQuery, or Spry navigation bar within a Div

Hello all. I need a solution for centering a horizontal style nav bar whether it be css only, jQuery or Spry based. I've been trying to use widgets from the adobe widget browser or other ones I've been able to find online. I have been able to get the graphic that goes behind the links to span the entire width of the Div, but I can't move the actual links to the center of the screen and get it to stay in the middle like the rest of the elements do when you resize the page. The links always stay anchored to the left side of the page. I've been able to move them all the way to the right side of the page through a certain css change, but that is not what I'm looking for. Do I need to resize the Div, or add a div within the div? Do I need to split the horizontal width of the single div into three div's and put the nav bar into the middle one? If that is the solution, how do I add the div's next to each other, I tried adding a div within the div, but nothing really appears to show up, so that must essentially be a wrong way of going about it.
Well anyways, I need some advice, somebody please lead me in the right direction on how to get this right. In the div above the one I'm trying to make this happen in, I have a flash object and it just centers itself perfectly with the div and moves with the rest of the page fluidly when you resize. And the same goes for a div right above that which contains the company logo.
Thanks for help in advance.

This is what I mean by the dotted lines not lining up evenly at the ends.

Spry Menu Bar not showing up in Internet Explorer 7

So, after hours of playing with CSS code yesterday and today,
I finally got my Spry navigation bar laid out the way I would like
it to display in Safari. It look a very long time for me to
customize it the way I wanted it, but it the end, it turned out
fine.
Then... to my horror, I jumped into Internet Explorer 7, and
there is no navigation bar to be seen. I've heard of some problems
when viewing Spry menus in different browsers, but I never heard of
the menu simply not being displayed.
Any ideas on why this would occur? You can view the page I'm
working on
here.
Any insights would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I am sorry, but I do not see a SpryMenuBar in your document nor do i see a problem with the menubar that you do have. I have tested in IE7+
Gramps

Spry Navigation does not work in IE version 6

I have a simple spry navigation bar at the top of website that works in all the browsers I tested it in, ie IE ver 7 and 8, Mozilla Firefox (all versions), Netscape (all versions), and Safari. The only one I can't it to work in is IE version 6. Does anyone know how to fix this?
I am attaching a copy of both browsers, one that does not work and one that does.
Thanks for your help.

I have the same problem. Looks great in FF, Safari, Opera,
but in IE the dropdowns are dancing all over the place. Suspect
it's something in the hover classification, but can't figure out
where the problem is:

Place spry navigation on top of an image?

I have an image on the side of my web page that I am
building. I want to place a spry navigation bar on top of this
image but I can't figure out how to position it correctly. Can
anyone give me a hint? I'm using CS3 on a Mac.
Thanks,
Lou

Is there any way we can see your website? Fishing around in the dark is not a good way to give advice.
I should also mention that the "slicing Photoshop files" method of website building is probably not the way we build websites anymore, if I understand where you are coming from.
Generally speaking, if you have an image in the background set up in your style sheet, you should be able to put things on top of that image.
So, let's say we have a div and I'm going to call it "player." We may want to have more than one player on a page, so we'll give it a class:
CSS:
.player {
background-image: url("/path/myimage.jpg");
HTML:
<div class="player">
<audio controls>
<source src="/path/myaudio.ogg" type="audio/ogg">
<source src="/path/myaudio.mp3" type="audio/mpeg">
Your browser does not support the audio element.
</audio>
</div>
Now, what I have done here is to create an HTML5 Audio player. The web page with the audio must be HTML5. And you will probably need to edit your .htaccess file to include the following:
AddType audio/ogg .oga
AddType video/ogg .ogv
AddType application/ogg .ogg
AddHandler application-ogg .ogg .ogv .oga
If you don't know how to edit an .htaccsss file, you should be able to add those MIME types in your host's Control Panel.
The way you declare an HTML5 document is to start the document with:
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
This would be before you start your <head> region.
But I must warn you, I'm offering all of this with a great deal of trepidation. I believe you're putting together a website using tables and inline code for things like backgrounds and such. Modern web design does not use tables to format web pages.
Without looking at what you're doing, there is a very big limit as to how I can advise you.

Spry navigation covers flash movie element, why?

i have a spry navigation bar with a flash movie underneath,
and when i hover over the navbar and the submenu pops down it
covers the flash movie, but it doesn't cover the .jpg image that is
next to the flash movie. how can i fix this? thanks.

What you're seeing is the result of the default WMODE
setting for Flash
Player, which you can change. Keep in mind, Flash content
isn't something
any browser natively supports. It requires an ActiveX
component or plugin,
and as a result, is processed outside of the browser's
composition buffer.
This lifts Flash content (and other active content, like
QuickTime, Java
applets, and so on) from the context of its surroundings. To
change that,
you can configure a SWF's WMODE setting for transparent or
opaque, as
described here:
http://www.quip.net/blog/2006/flash/how-to-position-flash-beneath-other-content
Be aware that any WMODE setting other than the default has
been known to
cause usability issues as described in the articles/blog
entries further
linked from the above URL.

# sign in address bar is messing with my spry nav bar. Please help

Hi everyone,
I'm using DWCS3 on a Mac book OS X Leopard 10.5 and I have set up MAMP aswell.
I've got a really simple information site and I'm using Spry navigation bars, all the links work fine in MAMP for all of my buttons except on one page.
When I try to press the buttons on the navigation bar, in the address bar a hash sign will appear next to the address for the page;
e.g.   ../innocent/case.html (without pressing buttons in nav bar)
         ../innocent/case.html# (after pressing button in nav bar)
This stops the nav bar performing on that particular page and you can not navigate the site.
MAMP is using Firefox as the start page, when i use the preview in browser facility in DWCS3 I have the same problem with Firefox, however the problem does not seem to be occuring in Safari or Opera.
I created my page from a template and have checked the links are O.K. I don't undrestand why it works on all the other pages except for one.
Could somebody please help me out?

When I try to press the buttons on the navigation bar, in the address bar a hash sign will appear next to the address for the page;
e.g.   ../innocent/case.html (without pressing buttons in nav bar)
         ../innocent/case.html# (after pressing button in nav bar)
This usually occurs when the link is as follows
<a href="#">my link</a>
But without seeing your code for case.html it is very hard to judge,
I hope this helps.
Ben

Spry Horizontal Navigation Bar

A horizontal navigation bar was created using Spry in CS3.
The navigation bar needs to be lengthened.
Does anyone know how to lengthen it so it spreads across the
page?

Hello,
Can you post an URL?
It's easier to tell you exactly what you might need to do.
For example, it's a bit different if the nav bar is in a
container with a
width or not contained.
Take care,
Tim

Spry Vertical Navigation Bar (What am I doing?)

I was told to check this forum out.. Ok, I have been trying
to fix this problem on my website for a day and a half now. My
vertical spry navigation is working in pretty much all browsers
except IE 6.0 and below. According to site statistics, almost half
my audience is using 6.0. With that said I desperately need help
from the most experienced Dreamweaver CS3 Pro out there:) Male or
Female - Don't care. Looks fine in 7.0, and of course in Safari. I
have the code if needed.
Here is the issue if you are still reading:
In IE 6.0 my left navigation is either all over the place on
the page (not on left side where it is supposed to be) or it is
completely freezing the browser all together. Did the browser
shots. I don't want to use anything else other than Spry since I
already had enough time put into that. What the heck am I doing
wrong? I kinda figure its my lack of CSS and Spry experience among
other things. Sooo..please, anyone?
My site Thanks so
much

Spry Navigation 2.0 - Spacing for div for nav bar

Hello:
I am once again working on an navigation bar that renders somewhat differently in various browsers (problems with IE 8 & 6). The navigation is to fit into a div that is bordered by a gold coloured border top and bottom (top border is attached to the header). The problem is one of calculating the appropriate height based on the settings for the custom nav css file. I have taken the font size, padding (top and bottom) and border (top and bottom) together with padding on the overall container of the nav bar. Accordingly I have set the height of the navigation container div at 41px. In most browsers this works fine, however there are some glitches that cause excess white space to appear either above the navigation bar or below it, thus separating the border from the navigation bar.
The url for the site is http://socls.org/PCLC-testing/CorePages.html
I have included the css for the custom nav settings, and the css relating to the navigation in the general css file as well as a screen shot of IE 8.
Thanks for any help in advance.
Steve.
The custom nav css is as follows:
@charset "UTF-8";
/* CSS Document */
/* BeginOAWidget_Instance_2141544: #MenuBar */
/* Settable values for skinning a Basic menu via presets. If presets are not sufficient, most skinning should be done in
    these rules, with the exception of the images used for down or right pointing arrows, which are in the file SpryMenuBasic.css
     These assume the following widget classes for menu layout (set in a preset)
    .MenuBar - Applies to all menubars - default is horizontal bar, all submenus are vertical - 2nd level subs and beyond are pull-right.
    .MenuBarVertical - vertical main bar; all submenus are pull-right.
    You can also pass in extra classnames to set your desired top level menu bar layout. Normally, these are set by using a preset.
    They only apply to horizontal menu bars:
        MenuBarLeftShrink - The menu bar will be horizontally 'shrinkwrapped' to be just large enough to hold its items, and left aligned
        MenuBarRightShrink - Just like MenuBarLeftShrink, but right aligned
        MenuBarFixedLeft - Fixed at a specified width set in the rule '.MenuBarFixedLeft', and left aligned.
        MenuBarFixedCentered - - Fixed at a specified width set in the rule '.MenuBarFixedCentered',
                        and centered in its parent container.
        MenuBarFullwidth - Grows to fill its parent container width.
    In general, all rules specified in this file are prefixed by #MenuBar so they only apply to instances of the widget inserted along
    with the rules. This permits use of multiple MenuBarBasic widgets on the same page with different layouts. Because of IE6 limitations,
    there are a few rules where this was not possible. Those rules are so noted in comments.
#MenuBar {
    background-color:#7888c7;
    font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; /* Specify fonts on on MenuBar and subMenu MenuItemContainer, so MenuItemContainer,
                                                MenuItem, and MenuItemLabel
                                                at a given level all use same definition for ems.
                                                Note that this means the size is also inherited to child submenus,
                                                so use caution in using relative sizes other than
                                                100% on submenu fonts. */

* Unfortunately IE6 does not support using mutiple classnames in a selector for an element. For a selector such as '.foo.bar.baz', IE6 ignores
* all but the final classname (here, '.baz'), and sets the specificity accordingly, counting just one of those classs as significant. To get around this
* problem, we use the plugin in SpryMenuBarIEWorkaroundsPlugin.js to generate compound classnames for IE6, such as 'MenuItemWithSubMenuHover'.
* Since there are a lot of these needed, the plugin does not generate the extra classes for modern browsers, and we use the CSS2 style mutltiple class
* syntax for that. Since IE6 both applies rules where
* it should not, and gets the specificity wrong too, we have to order rules carefully, so the rule misapplied in IE6 can be overridden.
* So, we put the multiple class rule first. IE6 will mistakenly apply this rule. We follow this with the single-class rule that it would
* mistakenly override, making sure the misinterpreted IE6 specificity is the same as the single-class selector, so the latter wins.
* We then create a copy of the multiple class rule, adding a '.SpryIsIE6' class as context, and making sure the specificity for
* the selector is high enough to beat the single-class rule in the "both classes match" case. We place the IE6 rule at the end of the
* css style block to make it easy to delete if you want to drop IE6 support.
* If you decide you do not need IE6 support, you can get rid of these, as well as the inclusion of the SpryMenuBarIEWorkaroundsPlugin.js script.
* The 'SpryIsIE6' class is placed on the HTML element by the script in SpryMenuBarIEWorkaroundsPlugin.js if the browser is Internet Explorer 6. This avoids the necessity of IE conditional comments for these rules.
.SpryIsIE6 #MenuBar .MenuBarView .MenuItemWithSubMenuHover .MenuItemLabel /* IE6 selector */{
    background-color: #3b4b8d; /* consider exposing this prop separately*/
    color: #fefefe;
.SpryIsIE6 #MenuBar .MenuBarView .SubMenu .MenuItemWithSubMenuHover .MenuItemLabel/* IE6 selector */{
    background-color: #3b4b8d; /* consider exposing this prop separately*/
    color: #fefefe;
.SpryIsIE6 #MenuBar .SubMenu .SubMenu /* IE6 selector */{
    margin-left: -0px; /* Compensates for at least part of an IE6 "double padding" version of the "double margin" bug */
/* EndOAWidget_Instance_2141544 */
The css for the page in general (as it relates to the navigation bar) is:
#main_nav_contents {
    width: 960px;
    height: 41px;
    position: relative;
    padding-left:0px;
    border-bottom: 3px solid #C56F2C;

Hello Again:
Based on some recalculations I realized that with a font size of 17px, 6px padding (top and bottom = 12px) and 3 px border (top and bottom =6) that the height of the nav container should be 35px; I have change the general style sheet to reflect that change, but still have rendering problems accross browsers.
To perhaps add clarity, the following is a screen shot of how it appears in most browsers, and how I intended it should look.
Thanks (again) in advance for any help that can be offered. Steve.

Spry Menu Bar Navigation

I'm using the Spry menu bar and have several menu items on my home page that have sub-items under them. For example, I have a "browse" menu item on the home page and under "browse" have "view inventory" and "wish list". I want users to be able to access the sub items through the "browse" menu item but not allow users to open "browse:"
I'd appreciate any suggestions.
Thanks
Iain
