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

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.

Spry Vertical Submenu Bar Appears Behind iFrame

In IE and Chrome, the Spry vertical submenu bar appears properly on every page of the website, except for the one page that has iframes.
In IE, the submenus appear behind the iFrames
In Chrome, the submenus appear in front of the iFrames but with an incomplete border
In Firefox and Safari, the submenus appear as they should (in front of the iframes and with a complete border)
I've scoured this forum and tried several fixes that seemed to work for others with slightly different conditions but didn't work for mine.
I've included my SpryMenuBarVertical.css for referece; if you can offer a fix for this particular issue, I'd be forever grateful. Thank you!

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.

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 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%;

My blue vertical navigation bar drops to bottom of the page

I use the latest edition of Firefox together with windows XP. The problem happens when I use Firefox, Google or Chrome to access a web site or email. The page being viewed drops to the end and I cannot use the navigation bar to return to my original place. I have used CCleaner to clear unwanted files. Sometimes this works for a limited period. I would be grateful for any assistance that you may be able to give me. Thanks.

Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
See "Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile":
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Basic+Troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile
There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins" in case there are still problems.
If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.

Spry vertical menu bar positioning issue in IE

I have been trying to fix a problem with my spry menu bar and have been looking for answers at several spry forums. I have modified my vertical spry menu to open submenus above and to the right of the main menu. It works in Opera, Firefox and Safari and opens below in IE. I tried changing the positioning from absolute to relative and that made it position itself below in all browsers. So, by deductive reasoning there seems to be something going on with IE when it reads the absolute positioning, is there a fix for this? You can see my website at raydlett.com the menubar is called STUDIO.
Here is my vertical menubar CSS:
@charset "UTF-8";
/* SpryMenuBarVertical.css - version 0.6 - Spry Pre-Release 1.6.1 */

    cursor: pointer;
    width: 6.75em;
/* Submenus should appear slightly overlapping to the right (95%) and up (-5%) with a higher z-index, but they are initially off the left side of the screen (-1000em) */

I have also attached the index.html file that uses the modified "STUDIO" Spry MenuBar2
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

That makes sense, tooltips are tooltips, and appear at the tip of the mouse...But those "submenu triggers" can be simply styled links (as they are in a spry menu)...don't need to be swaps or images or image maps.
What about a using show/hide behavior? Click the STUDIO and the menu pops up adjacent in an apDiv. Click a link. Or click the x to close the apDiv.
You know this is just an exercise to run through all the Javascript and Spry that is in Dreamweaver, eh?
By the way, just providing a link to your page is quite all you need to do. You don't need to attach your files or show pictures of them...by providing a link, I can save a web page in its entirety and open it in Dreamweaver.

Spry Vertical Menu Bar OK in Safari?

I'm revising the menu and using Spry in order to make the
menu friendlier to all generations of Safari. Has anyone had issues
with the Spry menu bar in Safari?
Thanks for any help.

I am told by Safari users (no mention of which Safari
release) that the site as it stands (using Xara rather than Spry)
does not allow hover to work correctly. The submenus appear until
the Safari user hovers over them, at which point they disappear. My
mockup page menu seems to work fine with Safari for Windows Beta,
but I just want to make sure that Mac users can get into the page.
Thanks.

Spry Vertical Navigation menu with secondary flyout menu not showing

I'm using Windows and CS3. I have a vertical spry menu with one of the items opening to a secondary vertical menu. The menu is positioned left and I want the flyout menu to open so it can be seen on top of the central content column. I have a background color on the central div and when I hover over the item on the menu bar, you can't see the secondary menu opening. But I know it is there as I have removed the central div and when previewed in the browser (IE) it works fine. But when I replace the central div, the secondary menu is hidden again. I don't want to play around too much as I know Javascript is involved and I can easily ruin those elements which are now working. I hope someone can suggest something reasonably straight forward to assist.
The code is the standard stuff - I have only modified colours basicall with one or two other tweaks to fit the space:

Frank,
The code that you have shown us re SpryMenuBarVertical.css is correct so that we can assume that the problem lies elsewhere.
Because you have not shown the rest of the code, we can only make assumptions which may or may not help. From the above screen shot, I see that you are using AP's (Absolute Positioned) elements. This is a NO NO!!!
Have a look at the following wich achieves the same, but without AP's. Just copy and paste in a new document and view in any browser.

Spry vertical menu bar size issue

hello world,
i've got a beautiful layout with a lefthand menu section that i would love to behave with pop-out menus.
the entire design was crafted lovingly in fireworks and then exported as html with images, then opened in dreamweaver - looks great!
remove the image that was in the slice where the menu will go, check.
place cursor and select insert>spry>menu bar, select orientation, check.
remove extraneous menu items in the properties inspector, check.
and then, the problem...the box where "Item 1" (which will become my first button) is too big and shifts the entire table out of shape.
i've edited the box sizes in the following CSS items:
ul.MenuBarVertical
ul.MenuBarVertical li
ul.MenuBarVertical a
sometimes i can get it close to it being in-shape with no shifting if i make the menu box smaller than the image that will go in it, looks great in DW but it is then shifted down by a considerable amount when previewing in browers. any pointers will be greatly appreciated.

hi hans
i can't upload at the moment, don't have the password to the site at the moment.
for now the best i can do is post the CSS, and let you know that the size of the image i'd like to place in the parent spry menu is 168w x 32h (in px)
i hope this isn't too much text....here goes:
/* The outermost container of the Menu Bar, a fixed width box with no margin or padding */
ul.MenuBarVertical
    margin: 0;
    padding: 0;
    list-style-type: none;
    font-size: 100%;

    height: 25px;
/* Set the active Menu Bar with this class, currently setting z-index to accomodate IE rendering bug: http://therealcrisp.xs4all.nl/meuk/IE-zindexbug.html */
ul.MenuBarActive
    z-index: 1000;
/* Menu item containers, position children relative to this container and are same fixed width as parent */
ul.MenuBarVertical li
    margin: 0;
    padding: 0;
    list-style-type: none;
    font-size: 100%;
    position: relative;
    text-align: left;
    cursor: pointer;
    width: 150px;
    height: 25px;
/* Submenus should appear slightly overlapping to the right (95%) and up (-5%) with a higher z-index, but they are initially off the left side of the screen (-1000em) */
ul.MenuBarVertical ul
    margin: -5% 0 0 95%;
    padding: 0;
    list-style-type: none;

    cursor: default;
    width: 8.2em;
    left: -1000em;
    top: 0;
/* Submenu that is showing with class designation MenuBarSubmenuVisible, we set left to 0 so it comes onto the screen */
ul.MenuBarVertical ul.MenuBarSubmenuVisible
    left: 0;
/* Menu item containers are same fixed width as parent */
ul.MenuBarVertical ul li
    width: 8.2em;
DESIGN INFORMATION: describes color scheme, borders, fonts

IWeb tool not showing the Navigation Bar, but published site does!?!?!

I recently installed Leopard, reinstalled iLife08 and copied over my website and was able to reopen in iWeb08. The issue I am having is that I can move/resize the area containing the navigation...I just cannot see the text inside iWeb!!!
If I publish the site, the test is still there, visible and working...
..but inside iWeb I cannot read/alter (or even see) the navigation text. This will become an issue as I add new pages...it kinda defeats the purpose of a WYSIWYG editor
I'm sure this is something silly...Does anyone have any ideas??
Thanks!!

Hi Sujai,
not sure what you mean or are asking - everything was working in Chrome fine, and still does in browser preview in chrome and live in safari and IE.
All assets are in Edge, packaged into a "OAM" which I then have placed in Muse and publish from there (again preview from Muse is working fine in Muse and also Preview in Browser/Chrome - I have tried on different machines as well just in case but it doesnt work on any mac or pc Chrome Broswer)
Hosting is all through Adobe Business Catalyst.

SujaiS, ironically enough I just tried saving the Edge project as a new project, prublish the OAM files again (havent changed anything in the project), open Muse, re-published the site and now it is working in Chrome again!

IE8 and Spry vertical menu bar

The spry menu bar has disappeared in IE8, still works fine in Firefox, and did in IE7: http://jimgreenrealty.com/Test.html
What needs to be done to get it working again? Thanks,

Thanks, I have the download, but I'm not sure how to install it. Can
you give a hint? It may be obvious but I don't dabble in Spry very often.
Thanks,

Spry Vertical Menu Bar not working in IE8

I've upgraded to 1.6.1, but it still doesn't work in IE8 unless in compatibility mode. http://jimgreenrealty.com/Test.html
Works fine in other browsers and other Spry elements appear to work normally in IE8. Can anyone help?
Thanks,
Steve B.

If you deselect compatibility mode on IE8 the menu bar disappears (on
all our computers anyway). Works fine in all other versions of IE and
all other browsers. Updated to Spry 1.6.1 and still no avail.
Here it is w/o the emulating statement: http://jimgreenrealty.com/Test.html
The other pages on the site still have it.
Thanks for looking at it.
