Submenu

I'm developping application under Forms Builder Version 10.1.2.0.2.
So All created forms are running fine.
To make access to this Forms, I created a form with a menu. The main menu is composed of submenus and items.
Items in the main menu are PL/SQL module calling forms, and theu are working fine by mouse-click.
Submenus in the main menu can't be opened whith a mouse click. When I click on the submenu nothing happens.
Which property in Menu objects have to be modified to let submenus work.
Thanks for response .
Maxime

The property 'Command Type' of the sub me nu element is Menu. Otherwise, I can not put the name of the sub menu in the property 'Sub menu Name'.
However, items in the sub menu have pl/sql in the property 'Command Type'.
Regards

Spry menu bar woes (add submenu levels and edit width)

So i need some spry menu bar help. Apparently as a graphic designer i'm also expected to webdesign, and while i can solve most problems with a good googling, i seem to be at my wit's end fo this one. So the site i'm doing has a header ith a horizontal spry pop-up menubar (in Dreamweaver CS4). But some problems arise: when i manually add another submenu level, they don't show up in chrome or FF, they do werk perfectly in IE6. I just add the following code to the codepage:
<li><a href="#" class="MenuBarItemSubmenu">audio equipment</a>             <ul>               <li><a href="#">Digital Matrix Systems</a></li>               <ul>               <li><a href="#">R2 Digital Audio Matrix</a></li>               </ul>               <li><a href="#">pre-amplifiers & mixers</a></li>               <ul>               <li><a href="#">PMX124</a></li>               </ul>
the PMX never pops open in FF an chrome.. Should i be adding anything else to another part of the code? i'd like my submenu text to have a slight indent? How ever, when i add the indent to ul.menubarhorizontal ul , it elongates the submeny boxes in IE6, while looking normal (width) in chrome and FF. WHat part of the CSS style should i change to just have the text scoot over a bit without it really affecting the box layout? ALso, if anyone could tell me how to add a wee bit of spacing above the text (and beneath), i'd be eternally gratefull. Also, how do i change the with of the submenus? seing as my main buttons are images, but the names i ned to put in my submenus are turning out to be pretty long...

Don't use reserved words in JS
var event = new Spry.Data.XMLDataSet("events.xml", "catalog/event", {sortOnLoad: "date", sortOrderOnLoad: "descending"});
event is such a reserved word. If you change this to event1 then all is well.
I hope this helps.

Spry Menu Bar using CSS background image without losing submenu ( V) indicators

Spry menu bar sets the down and side submenu indicators using
a positioned background image. I have a requirement to use a
specific background image yet must retain the > and v submenu
indicators. Without having to generate full width custom background
images for each of the menu item types to include the side and down
menu indicators, is there anyway to use a generic background image
and show the indicators using just CSS?

How can I get my submenu to work in IE?

Please help!! I made a vertical spry menu bar with a few submenus. These submenus do not show on Internet Explorer, but show up in FF, Opera, and Netscape & (Safari-of course).

I am not sure I understand ''it still will not print. ''
If you cannot see any content on pages you printed or in print preview, the cause might be margins which are set too high.
#In order to check the margins, we need to go to ''File'' > ''Page Setup''.
#Once this is done, switch to the ''Margins & Header/Footer'' tab.
#Check what's set there under ''Margins''.
The following are the default values for ''Margins'':
'''Right''': 12.7
'''Top''': 12.7
'''Left''': 12.7
'''Bottom''': 12.7
Check these values accordingly and change them if necessary.

Spry Menu with submenu border?

Hi Everyone,
I'm a bit of a newbie, and I am designing a website with a spry menu (which I have since found out probably wasn't the best way to go) and I have hit a hurdle which I can't fix or find the solution to anywhere. I'm hoping it might be easy for you guys.
I have attached a pic of the problem, one menu item has a submenu, this is the 'About' menu, as you can see, it has a border top and bottom that I can't seem to find in the code in order to get rid of it. If anyone could let me know how to fix this I'll be extremely grateful!
Also, any suggestions of better menu methods would be appreciated.
Have a nice day

How can I get rid of the "Bookmarks" Submenu in my Bookmark Toolbar - Tried everything!

I have a problem with FF that is driving me insane. I want to get rid of the "Bookmarks" Submenu which resides on the far RH side of the Bookmarks Toolbar, but it won't let me delete it. I have tried EVERYTHING to get it to go - Deleted preferences, deleted all of my bookmarks, tried customising the toolbar etc but it's still there. I have no need to a Bookmakr submenu in my Bookmark toolbar and I don't want it there, just taking up space. Is there any way at all I can get rid of it? Friends say that their FF doesn't have it, but I have tried a re-install and trashing prefs and it still won't go!
Could use some help with this - I am going mad.
Thanks
LJ

OK - Now I have a new issue. Without the Bookmark sub menu in the Bookmark toolbar, I can't drag or add any links to the bookmark toolbar! Dragging, adding it via the Bookmark Panel etc. is fruitless. Is this normal behaviour? I don't get it - Why would I need a sub menu in my bookmark bar, when the whole reason for the bar being there is for me to add my own bookmark locations or even folders? There is no point having the bar, if it has a menu in it, since I have to open the menu anyway, so I may as well just open the bookmark menu. I can't believe this is the way it is designed.... Attached is a pic comparing what it looks like with the sub-menu in the bar and without. Note that in both cases the Bookmark Bar is visible.
This is not doing my intention to jump ship from Safari any good. So far the Bookmark management and RSS Set-up in Firefox is leaving a lot to be desired, and is looking decidedly dodgy....

How can I add additional submenu items to Spry Menu Bar?

The drop down header only allows for for 2 submenus - ie. child and grandchild pages
How can I add a third or fourth submenu - ie great grandchild and great great grandchild pages?

Its OK! I've just found an answer:

/* IE6 rules - you can delete these if you do not want to support IE6 */
/* A note about multiple classes in IE6.
* Some of the rules above use multiple class names on an element for selection, such as "hover" (MenuItemHover) and "has a subMenu" (MenuItemWithSubMenu),
* giving the selector '.MenuItemWithSubMenu.MenuItemHover'.
* 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.

what is the rule i nedd to change? i think the background colour of the submenu is lightgray #CCCCCC right now, and the hover one is a darker colour.
thanks!

I am sorry to have to point out to you that you have changed SpryMenuBasicSkin.css so much that it is impossible to render any assistance.
To start with, the menubar has an ID of MenuBar, yet in the CSS I only see this referenced as a CLASS as in
.MenuBar {
background-color:#cccccc;
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. */
font-weight: normal;
font-size: 16px;
font-style: normal;
padding:0;
border-color: #ffffff #ffffff #ffffff #ffffff;
border-width:0px;
border-style: none none none none;
I would suggest to start again.
Once you have done that, supply a link to your site and we will assist you further.

A top level menu item should display its active state if any of its submenu items are active

Example case: I'm designing a Muse site which is basically a portfolio of our work. We design books, doing page layout and covers. We have numerous book categories and sub categories which I put in a horizontal menu. When a given top level category menu item doesn't have a submenu, it is a hyperlink and it displays active state when the browser displays its linked page. But when a given page is displayed from a submenu link, its top level menu item does NOT display active state. I think it should.
For example, we have a "Nostalgia" category which has "Film" and "TV" subcategories. Because the menu item, "Nostalgia" has a submenu containing "Film" and "TV", the label "Nostalgia" is not a hyperlink. The submenu attached to it has the two hyperlinked items "Film" and "TV". When the browser is displaying either linked page, the submenu is hidden. So it would be nice if the top level item, "Nostalgia" would display in an active state.

Hello Daniel,

How do I get toolbar bookmark items to display in the bookmarks toolbar instead of in the Bookmarks menu | Bookmarks toobar submenu?

When I add bookmarks to the bookmarks toolbar, they don't appear on the bookmarks toolbar (duh...) but appear instead in the Bookmarks Toolbar submenu inside of the Bookmarks menu.
How do I get them to appear on the bookmarks toolbar itself?

You can check that the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is still on the Bookmarks Toolbar.
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Back+and+forward+or+other+toolbar+items+are+missing
If the menu bar is hidden then press the F10 key or hold down the Alt key to make the menu bar appear.
Make sure that toolbars like the "Navigation Toolbar" and the "Bookmarks Toolbar" are visible:
*"View > Toolbars"
Open the Customize window to set which toolbar items to display:
*View > Toolbars > Customize
*Firefox menu button > Options > Toolbar Layout
*Check that the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is on the Bookmarks Toolbar
*If the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is not on the Bookmarks Toolbar then drag it back from the toolbar palette in the customize window to the Bookmarks Toolbar
*If missing items are in the toolbar palette then drag them back from the Customize window on the toolbar
*If you do not see an item on a toolbar and in the toolbar palette then click the "Restore Default Set" button to restore the default toolbar set up

Safari 3.1 not displaying Spry submenu correctly

I am redesigning a site and have placed a Horizontal Spry
menu at the top of the page. Some of the options in the menu have a
sub menu with some of the options in one of the sub menus having
their own sub menu. I have tested this in IE 7, Opera, FireFox and
Safari 3.1 and it works perfectly in all except for Safari 3.1. In
Safari 3.1 the sub menus fly out horizontally instead of dropping
down vertically as it should. Has anyone else had this problem? If
so does anyone know if it is a bug in Safari 3.1 and if so is there
a fix or a hack? Any help would be appreciated.
Unfortunately I am not at the moment able to put up a live
page for you to see this in action but I will put a copy of my Spry
CSS at the bottom of this post.
I guess if it wasn’t for the fact that some of the
options in one of the sub menus, having their own sub menu I could
leave it as it usable by flying out horizontally, but when the
second sub menu flies out it covers up the rest of the options in
the first sub menu.
Thanks.

As extra info on this topic - I did an archive reinstall of 10.5.2 and Safari was working fine.
Performed a software update which installed 6 packages and upgraded the OS to 10.5.5 and Safari is once again crapped in an identical manner to before.
It would seem to be a problem with an OS update.
Can anyone else verify and/or provide a fix
