Spry vertical menu problem with IE

We implemented the spry vertical menu for showing the
categories of a products catalog. It has almost 1800 categories
organizad at about 5 levels, some categories have about 30
subcategories. These categories are extrated from a database.
It works in mozilla but in IE present this problem:
- The response time is slow when you change from one category
to ahother. And the effiecience decrease.

I tried in Firefox 3 and IE7 and they both seemed fairly slow
for any action to take place. But IE7 did seem pretty slugish.
It seems that you're already determined what the issue is,
you have waaaaaay too many menu items. Seems to me that that number
of items don't belong in a menu. There are even menus that are too
long to appear entirely on the page, so they can't be easily
accessed without accidentally hiding the menus again, which I did
several times. IN particular:

If you cannot change to a different format to show all of the
items, then perhaps you can split up the menu so that you don't
have too many at one time. I checked the code of your page and it
seems that you've got a lot of other scripting going on there
besides Spry, so is the issue with Spry or with everything else
you're trying to do with that menu. If you can try to recreate the
page with only the menu items on it (and not pulled in dynamically
on the fly), and then add back to your page a bit a time, you might
be able to find out what is really causing the delays.

SPRY Vertical Menu Problem (IE Hack?)

I'm having a problem with the Spry vertical menu bar. The one
I created works fine in Firefox and in Safari, but not in Internet
Explorer. In IE the sub-menu containers open AT THE TOP of the menu
bar, and not next to the selected menu item. I'm not sure how to
fix it. Any help is appreciated.
You can see the problem here (view in IE and roll over any of
the menu items in the middle or lower part of the menu bar):
http://southerncharmgifts.net/thesouthernsportsman/html/ssarchery.html

I downloaded the Spry update but it didn't fix the problem.
It changed my menu box to white, when it should have remained
black. Hopefully I can fix it. But still the same problem with IE.
This is really bad! Any way to reverse the update?

Looking at your page it appears to validate except for one
thing. All images need alt tags assigned to them.
See if updating the Spry helps.
Also there is a Spry forum that Adobe does check in case
there are bugs. The link to the forum is on that page and I will

Another SPRY horizontal menu problem with IE7

I posted this before, with no responses, but I think
I've narrowed it down to a CSS response problem with IE7.0. If you
view the attached link in Firefox or Opera, the menu background
color responds correctly on the drop downs. In IE7, the
background-color is ignored, causing the menu to be translucent
and, uh, ugly. Has anyone else had an issue with the
background-color CSS attribute in the SPRY horizontal menu css not
working?
HELLLLLP! and, uh, Thanks,

SPRY Vertical Menu Problem

Hey Guys,
I am have been trying to figure this thing out for hours. I
am new to coding. I made a vertical menu with one sub menu in
products. It works fin on my mac computer when running it on
firefox and safari, but when I run it on on a pc in Internet
Explorer it does not work. Can you please help me, I have a
deadline I am trying to meet.
here is the link:
http://www.fcsenterprises.com/test/cabinetman/index.html

Hi,
I'll give exactly the changes you have to do to have the menu
working on both browsers:
On the SpryMenuBarHorizontal.css file make the following
changes:
- on this rule: ul.MenuBarHorizontal li.MenuBarItemIE ,
delete background: #FFF; property. (This seems to have an influence
here)
- on this ul.MenuBarHorizontal li rule add a fixed height,
height: 30px for example;
- on this ul.MenuBarHorizontal iframe rule add the line:
filter: alpha(opacity=0.1); (This is a known bug that is fixed for
Spry 1.6)

Spry Horizontal Menu problem with YouTube

I am trying to place YouTube videos in my website.
With a YouTube video embedded, the dropdown menu is behind YouTube and most of the links are note accessible.: http://gigharborrealestate.com/youtube/
Is there a way to have the Spry menu dropdown on top of the YouTube video?
Here is an example of the dropdowns working when I inserted a flash video: http://gigharborrealestate.com/782/
Thank you very much for your help,

Hi Arnout,
Thank you for responding to my question. I am not using a flash movie, I am embeding a Youtube video. Is it possible to add wmode="transparent" to a Youtube video? It would be great if you could give me a bit more info.
Thank you,

Spry vertical menu button shows background color instead of image in preview

Hello All, I'm a newbie (to the forum and Dreamweaver) so my apologies if my question is not in good form. I've searched for this issue but cannot seem to find the exact problem I have.
I've created a website (my first) and used the spry menu bar. It works well using the default blue and grey colors for button and hover. However, I decided I want to spruce it up a little and change the buttons to use a background image (rainbow pattern) instead of background color. I internet researched this for some time and watched all the youtube videos people have posted for this process and editing the spry vertical menu bar CSS. Using the .a and hover lines from the CSS, I was able to add my background .jpg image file. In the design view, the button look exactly how I want them to. However, when I attempt to preview in IE, Chrome, or FF, the buttons still have the default colors and no image. I've gone back and deleted the default blue and grey, but then the preview just shows dark grey and white for the buttoms. is there something that I am overlooking that would cause the background color to show instead of the image I have attached to the buttons. I can't figure out why it looks right in DW but not in preview.
BTW, I'm editing a template file and all the pages are updated with the new image buttons, but none of the pages show correctly in preview.
Thanks

Spry Vertical Menu Bar Styling Issues

Hello all,
I'm having CSS issues with a spry vertical menu bar. The Menu
is fairly basic but, it has some odd sizing requirements specified
by it's designer. The designer would like the sub menu items to all
have different widths that correspond to the actual content within
them. Here is sample.
http://staging.rm306.com/cycle/
The menu seen at the page above was not build with Spry. It
was build with another tool and has considerable problems with
consistent browser display.
Can anyone give me a short list of styles and where they
should be applied that might help me achieve this reletively simple
effect?
I've tried to use Spy menu bars in my projects in the past
but, there was always some sticking point. I'd like this time to be
the winner if possible.
Thanks for your time and patience in advance,
Kevin

The sample page I posted came after searching for an easy
"how to do it". The closest I found to a tutorial was this:
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/dreamweaver/articles/spryte_menu.html
The author designs and implements a spry menu with Fire Works
graphics. The last section describes how to modify the existing CSS
for multiple levels. Yet I found the sample page easier to follow.
I hope this helps though.

Vertical Menu Bar with custom positioning

I am working on a site that uses the very old mm_menu script. It is a PITA to maintain and modify. However, it allows on thing I have been unable to accomplish with Spry Vertical Menu -- the second level menus appear in the same vertical space as the first level menu. The normal operation for such menus is for the second level to start more or less with the vertical position of the first level button. But this means the second level often drops far below the bottom of the lowest first level button.
Does anyone know of a way to customize where each second level appears (third and fourth are not needed)? Or some other UL/LI based menu code that can do this?

Hi Bob,
My first suggestion would be to re-order your navigation list to avoid the problem in the first place or figure out a different design altogether. By re-ordering, I mean place menu items with the largest submenu at the top, and those with the smallest at the bottom. Of course I understand there may be reasons not to do this, so here is what you can do to control where the menu positions itself. The vertical positioning is controlled by "position: absolute;" style in all <ul>s contained within a <ul class='MenuBarVertical'>. When you position something with absolute, it looks for its nearest parent that is positioned relatively (in this case the <li> items within <ul class='MenuBarVertical'>). from there you can designate pixels or ems to offset from the top or bottom of the parent. so an example of a way to do this is below.
to give your menu the most control, you can assign each submenu its own class and decide its vertical positioning.
     your current html/css is something like:
    <style>
     ul.MenuBarVertical ul
          margin: -5% 0 0 95%;
          padding: 0;
          list-style-type: none;
          font-size: 100%;
          position: absolute;
          z-index: 1020;
          cursor: default;
          width: 8.2em;
          left: -1000em;
          top: 0;   /* <-------this is what you will change for each submenu */
     </style>
so to change this you could assign a class name to each submenu to look something like this
<ul class='MenuBarVertical'>
     <li>
          <a href='#' class='MenuBarItemSubmenu'>Item 1</a>
          <ul class='item_1'>
               <li>sub1</li>
               <li>sub2</li>
               <li>sub3</li>
          </ul>
     </li>
     <li>
          <a href='#' class='MenuBarItemSubmenu'>Item 2</a>
          <ul class='item_2'>
               <li>sub1</li>
               <li>sub2</li>
               <li>sub3</li>
          </ul>
     </li>
     <li>
          <a href='#' class='MenuBarItemSubmenu'>Item 3</a>
          <ul class='item_3'>
               <li>sub1</li>
               <li>sub2</li>
               <li>sub3</li>
          </ul>
     </li>
     <li>
          <a href='#' class='MenuBarItemSubmenu'>Item 4</a>
          <ul class='item_4'>
               <li>sub1</li>
               <li>sub2</li>
               <li>sub3</li>
          </ul>
     </li>
</ul>
and extend the class styling to control each menu's vertical position. "top:0;" is what is default and aligns the top of the submenu with the top of its parent <li>. Giving it a negative number would move the submenu up and a positive number would move it down (can be in pixels, ems, etc.). You can also use "bottom:0;" to align the bottom of the submenu with the bottom of its parent <li>. Giving it a negative number would move the submenu down, and a positive number would move it up. So using the above menu/list format you could position each submenu exactly where you want to:
<style>
     ul.MenuBarVertical ul
          margin: -5% 0 0 95%;
          padding: 0;
          list-style-type: none;
          font-size: 100%;
          position: absolute;
          z-index: 1020;
          cursor: default;
          width: 8.2em;
          left: -1000em;
          /* top: 0; <-------comment this out or remove it. we will set the position for each menu*/
     ul.MenuBarVertical ul.item_1
          top: 0;
     ul.MenuBarVertical ul.item_2
          top: -30px;
     ul.MenuBarVertical ul.item_3
          bottom: -2em;
     ul.MenuBarVertical ul.item_4
          bottom: 0;
     </style>
Of course there are other ways to do this, but the lesson to remember is how absolute positioning works. It looks for its nearest relatively positioned element and positions itself from that using top/bottom/left/right. I hope this gives you a workable solution or at least gets you moving in the right direction.

Question on spry vertical menu bar backgrounds

I have a spry vertical menu bar. The menu branches off to 3 or 4 levels in some cases. When you mouse over the menu structure the menu path that you have selected turns a different color. I acheived this by giving
ul.MenuBarVertical a.MenuBarItemHover, ul.MenuBarVertical a.MenuBarItemSubmenuHover, ul.MenuBarVertical a.MenuBarSubmenuVisible
a different text color and also a different background color using CSS. The thing I want to acheive now is to somehow make listings within my menu structure that are clickable links a slightly different color. This is to signal that a menu selection that is currently being hovered over is indeed clickable (and linked to another page). For example, most of my clickable menu listings are at the end of a menu branches. That is to say the menu listing at the 1st and 2nd level are not clickable (linked to another page) but the listing that falls at the end of the menu branch is clickable.
How can I make the menu listings that link to other pages a different color then the other menu listings that do not link anywhere but are instead just the preceding struture to get you to the end of the menu structure?
Currently menu listings which merely branches off and do not link to a clickable page have a reference of "#" as shown below.
<li><a href="#">Menu_1</a>
This "#" was put there by Dreamweaver so I just followed the pattern. Clickable menu listings reference another HTML page as you would expect.

Nancy,
Thanks for the reply (it helped me know how to approach it). It looks like editing
ul.MenuBarVertical a.MenuBarItemSubmenuHover
will give me the behavior I was looking for. I don't know if that is what I want to do now that I look at it though. Using different colored backgrounds when hovering over links seems to contrast too much (even though some are clickable and others are not). Perhaps I didn't have the right color choice.
Instead I thought about emphasizing links that are clickable (with some type of visual variation) as opposed to making the hovering background color path to those clickable links different. I experimented with placing a 1 inch border around links in the menu that can be clicked but I am not sure if I like it or not.
I am using a background color of #7D120C for the hover. Any suggestions are welcome and appreciated.

/* HACK FOR IE: to make sure the sub menus show above form
controls, we underlay each submenu with an iframe */
ul.MenuBarVertical iframe
position: absolute;
z-index: 1010;
width:0px;
height:0px;
Happy coding!

Spry Vertical Menu and sub menus not working correctly

I am designing a website for a client and cannot get the spry vertical menu and submenus to work correctly. The submenus will show on the index.html page, but not on any other pages, or when I preview in browser. Should I make it a library item then add it to the other pages? I am not sure what I am doing wrong. I appreciate your help!

Spry Vertical Menu Bar: Drop left? Arrows?

2 Questions:
1. I am trying to figure out how to make a spry vertical menu drop to the left instead of the right? Any ideas?
2. It appears that my arrows are the same color as my background, therefor they are not showing up until the hover color changes. Can I change the colors of the arrows.
Thanks for the help!

Hi,
to have the subitems displayed to the left, go to this rule
ul.MenuBarVertical ul {} from SpryMenuBarVertical.css file and
change this line: margin: -5% 0 0 95%; TO margin: 0% 0 0 -95%;

Spry menu problems with Internet explorer

Hi everyone
I'm having ongoing problems with my horizontal menus and
internet explorer. They work fine in other browsers and with the
generous help of others at these forums I've managed to sort out
most of the problems. But I've hit a real wall with this one. The
menus drop down showing the links OK but you cannot highlight or
click on the options that drop down, they just appear as text. Any
help would be appretiated. My appologies for posting in other
threads also but just hoping for a response.
I am very new to this side of design so simple answers would
be very helpful. Thanks
Bob

I have 2 similar problems to the prior posts:
1) I run IE7 and FF and the positioning of my submenus are
skewed in IE only.
2) I am not sure, but I believe I have a problem with my
iframe appearing in my IE7 browser behind all of my submenus. Well,
I know I have a problem with something, but whether or not it's the
iframe I don't know. What I do know is that the box shows up like a
border around my submenus and I can't get rid of it. I suspect that
it may be caused by the fact that my menu buttons are imported
gif's in the shape of rounded rectangles which allows for the
corners to be visible. I actually just thought about it and my
gif's are set to have a white index transparency, but maybe If I
export the gifs without transparency, then that issue will be
resolved. Well I will try that part and see, but any and all
suggestions are welcome. Oh and I just remembered, that problem
with the border around my submenus also has another problem with
the word "false" inside of that border behind my submenus. This
problem again is only in my IE browser, and it is hard to see it,
but I have no idea why that is there or what it's from. I ran a
search in my SpryMenuHorizontal.css page and in my html page for
the word 'false' but nothing turned up. The only document related
to this issue that contains the word 'false' is the
'SpryMenuBar.js' document.
