Spry Tab/Drop Down Menu conflict

When using spry tabs, my drop down menus go behind the tabs
and can't be read. This only happens on pc's. I am creating the
website on a mac running leopard. The template company is not
familiar with spry. It does not occur with spry accordiom.

Thanks for any insight anyone can provide.

First thing you should do is to update to the latest version
of Spry which is Spry 1.6.1. Install the updater:
http://www.macromedia.com/go/labs_spry_download
Or grab the files from the Spry download package, I think
that they are in there:
http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/home.html
Or pull directly from:
http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/widgets/menubar/SpryMenuBarHorizontal.css
http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/widgets/menubar/SpryMenuBarVertical.css
http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/widgets/menubar/SpryMenuBar.js
Also, there's a forum dedicated to Spry, so it would be
better to be asking Spry questions there:
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/webforums/forum/categories.cfm?forumid=72&catid=602
Regardless, you should post a link to your page, as it is
quite common to need to look at code from many of the files that
comprise the final page your visitors receive.

  • Spry Vertical Drop Down Menu- Links Moving about!

    Hi Everyone.
    I wondered whether anyone might be able to tell me what I am doing wrong?
    When I go to create a spry vertical drop down menu using images instead of text as the links - all of my links jump slightly to the right. Or, in the case of sub-menus - slightly down.
    I have put together a dodgy example below. I don't understand why it is moving the images around.. What am I doing wrong?
    Apart from removing the original text and pressing insert > image object > rollover image - I have not changed any significant settings on the spry menu.
    Edit: I have also tried adding "position: absolute;" tags to the spry coding, but it hasn't made any difference.

    Please let me know how you can post code?

  • Why can't I find preferances in the edit tabs drop down menu?

    Although I had Indesign CS6 for over a year this is my first time using it . I want to set the default page size to inches, instead of using Indesigns default settings.  Following Terry Whites instruction From the video clip on YouTube I tried finding Preferances in the Edit tabs menu, But when I click on the edit tab I can't find preferances in the drop down menu. What am I doing wrong or what am I not doing. sombody please help me to change this setting. I know nothing about the measurement type that indesign uses as a default.
    Thank you, For your answers.

    If you use a Mac they'd be under the InDesign menu....

  • Spry horizontal drop down problem in IE

    I would appreciate some help with a project I'm working on. My spry horizontal drop down menu looks best in Apple Safari on a Mac and looks worst in IE 8 on a PC. There are also some problems apparent in Firefox for both PC and Mac.
    The problem in IE is that the horizontal bar is not the correct height even though I have set the height in the css:
    ul.MenuBarHorizontal a
        display: block;
        cursor: pointer;
        color: #FFF;
        text-decoration: none;
        font-family: "Arial Narrow", Arial, Helvetica;
        font-size: 10pt;
        padding-top: 0.7em;
        padding-bottom: 0em;
        font-weight: normal;
        background-repeat: repeat-x;
        background-image: url(/2011images/gradientnav.jpg);
        height: 30px;
    The drop downs are the correct size, just the top menu bar that is not the right size.
    The menu bar is the correct height in Firefox and Safari, but in Firefox the menu bar is a few pixels higher than it should be.
    Here's the page I'm working on.

  • Bit of layers confusion with drop down menu

    Hi guys.
    I have been teaching myself web design for about 4 months,
    and am still pretty clueless about a frightening amount of stuff.
    I am really in a bit of a mess and am hoping someone can help
    me out it.
    I am doing a web site that needs to have a tabbed drop-down
    menu running along the bottom of the banner.
    I started doing this using some HTML and CSS code I found
    online, but ended up having problems with displaying correctly in
    IE. So I have scrapped it in favour of doing one in flash.
    The only thing is, directly below the banner, I have a div
    that contains image links. When my drop downs, expand they will go
    well ontop of the area containing the image links. So my question
    is , does the flash drop down's page size automatically have to be
    big enough to contain the menu when expanded, or is it possible to
    have the flash page size expand according to whether the menu is
    expanding or not, so that there is still clickable access to the
    link images underneath,when the menu is not expanded.?
    Sorry if this is a very convoluted explanation. If someone
    understands what I am trying to achieve and help me find any way to
    make it happen, I would be hugely grateful, as I have a client who
    is blown away by the design, and i dont wanna sour the relationship
    by being unable to sort out this functionality.
    Thanks for taking the time to read this.

    I happen to have the same problem. However I cannot find the two files in step two:
    2.
    Trash the following two files in the Macintosh HD > Library > Caches folder:
    * com.apple.LaunchServices-0140.csstore
    * com.apple.LaunchServices-014nnn.csstore
    I did input my UID number as you are told to do so in the instructions. The only I can find is the one in step six a:
    6.
    Verify that the problem is solved. If not:
    1. Trash the com.apple.LaunchServices.plist file in the Home > Library > Preferences folder of the affected account. See Note [3].
    Is there a reason as to why I cannot find those files? Oh and I did delete it; all it did was reset the file associations.
    Thank you for taking the time to read this post. May your loins be blessed with fertility.

  • Spry Tabbed Panels overwritting Flash drop down menu in IE

    I am having an issue with Spry Tabbed Panels appearing above

    fix this problem. The page that is exhibiting this problem is

    I’ve tried adding “WMODE” to my flash menu,
    also updated “SpryTabbedPanels.js to version 0.5 –

    helping…….

    Thank you very much for the suggestion. Yes, this is how I
    tried:

    padding: 0px;
    float: left;
    clear: none;
    width: 100%;

    I’ve been tried setting Z-index to from 50 to 2000 in
    attached css, but still not working.

  • Firefox 6. When right clicking a tab no drop-down menu appears. Why do I not have the option to pin, unpin, etc.

    I'm using Firefox 6 with all current updates. This is on a desktop pc running Windows XP (Service Pack 3).
    At some previous time I was able to pin tabs - I pinned three. Lately I do not have a drop-down menu when right clicking on a pinned or unpinned tab. The feature is just not there.

    Try the Firefox SafeMode. <br />
    ''A troubleshooting mode, which disables most Add-ons.'' <br />
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default Theme.)''
    # You can open the Firefox 4/5/6/7 SafeMode by holding the '''Shft''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    # Or use the Help menu item, click on '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' while Firefox is running. <br />
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shft key) to open it again.''
    If it is good in the Firefox SafeMode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. <br />

  • Spry Drop Down menu issue in IE

    I created a menu bar with Spry and it works fine in Firefox
    but playing up in IE. The drop down menu starts displaying from the

    across this issue with Spry and cannot figure out whats wrong. the

    No one has any ideas? Someone had mentioned to me that it was
    some hybrid code that would have to be inserted to make IE read
    differently that Safari, Firefox. Not sure how to go about finding
    the code I'd need, though.
    Thanks in advance,

  • DW CS4 Horizontal Spry drop down menu not displaying correctly in Internet Explorer 8

    Hi,
    I have created a horizontal Spry drop down menu in Dreamweaver CS4 with my own background images. I have done various modifications to the CSS script to accommodate the style and feel needed; including making the main buttons' height twice the size of the sub menu buttons and some alignments. It seems to work different depending which browser is used.
    It works well in Google Chrome.
    It works well in Firefox with the exception that if any of the buttons are clicked, thereafter a thin black line is diplayed horizontally across center of the top main buttons when the mouse rolls over them. I would like to correct this but is not nearly as bad as the problem I'm having in Internet Explorer 8.
    Here is my biggest concern and I would greatly appreciate if anyone can shed some light on this matter.
    Once opened in Internet Explorer 8 the main navigation buttons appear as they should. IE8 prompts me the following: "To help protect your security, Internet Explorer has restricted this webpage from running scripts or ActiveX controls that could access your computer. Click here for options..". Once I allow IE8 to run scripts or ActiveX controls, the background image disappears and only shows on any menu or submenu button when the mouse rolls over that particular button. Can someone please help.
    The menu can be seen at work by clicking on this link:
    www.bargainxchange.com/BXC Main Navigation Spry Drop Menu.html
    Below are all the scrips involved.
    Here is the CSS script named "SpryMenuBarHorizontal4.css" in use :

    SpryMenuBar.js
    This file handles the JavaScript for Spry Menu Bar.  You should have no need
    to edit this file.  Some highlights of the MenuBar object is that timers are
    used to keep submenus from showing up until the user has hovered over the parent
    menu item for some time, as well as a timer for when they leave a submenu to keep
    showing that submenu until the timer fires.

    Hello Nancy,
    I was troubleshooting For the next 8 hours after my post here and eventually I got it right, I uploaded the files to the test server and at the time did not have the chance to post the solution here. This is why, as you saw, it is working correctly now.  Both the CSS and HTML files needed modifications. While working on the code I had to run IE8, Chrome and Firefox simultaneously and refresh all three after every change in the code because what would fix the problem in one would cause a problem for the other.
    In addition to the problems listed in my original post, there were also other graphical issues in IE8, such as; the main menu buttons without sub-menus would only display at half their size vertically. The border around the buttons would not display despite that the background images were rendered in Photoshop as flattened JPEGs with boarders as part of the background image. Being so, I removed all borders from the CSS script.
    By the way.. the IE8 security measure did pop up while working from the server.
    Anyhow for those of you who are experiencing similar problems you can take a look at the working code bellow and compare it to the initial code. I've included detail comments on every line I have changed, modified or added.
    Good luck.. as I know it can become a complicated task when creating custom Spry menus.

  • Spry drop down menu not working after page created from template

    Hi all.
    I created a template and the drop down Spry menu is working fine on local testing on my browser as follows:
    I then created a New Page from this above Template. I did no alteration to this new page and just saved it as index.html but when previewing it in the browser, the Spry drop down menu is not working and the page displays as follows:
    Here is my site map:
    Any help to show where I am going wrong would be much appreciated.
    Thanks.

    Dear Nancy 
    Very grateful for your reply. 
    On Design View and Preview in browsers the index.dwt page spry works fine.
    When I create a child page from this template page, the child page looks fine in design view but does the spry fails to preview in browsers (the spry just shows as words and not drop down menus). 
    Here is the code:
    <!--

  • Need help formatting Spry drop down menu

    FYI, I'm using CS3 on a Mac.
    I'm working on a full CSS layout of a page in a site. OK, not
    full CSS, I have a table controlling the text in the main content
    area. I need a drop down menu for this page, so I inserted a spry
    menu bar for the page navigation. *phew*! The learning curve on
    that is killing me! :) Just trying to get the menu items spread out
    ("full justify") has take me forever. I'm still having some major
    issues.
    Can someone tell me which styles to adjust to fix the things
    below? I think I have fixed most of it, but can't figure out these
    items:
    1. I want the sub menu items to have normal font weight (but
    the main menu items should remain "bold"
    2. I want the sub menu items' background to extend at least
