Using Vertical Spry Menus on Firefox

I have tried to with inline CSS on ul tag to make the menus
come closer together. My menus can go as deap as 5 levels and
Firefox will cause the lower levels to move beyond the end of the
screen at lower resolutions. Is there something that can be done in
spry javacode or CSS to make the menus move closer together in that
browser?

  • Trouble with Spry menus in Firefox and Chrome

    I am working on a site for my library and the spry menu drop downs are working well in Internet Explorer, but are not working at all in Chrome or Firefox.  I have been trying to figure this out, but I am at a loss.  I am using Dreamweaver CS5.  Please let me know if you have any insight.  I seem to be doing well with it aside from this problem!
    Here is the site in its current state.  The only active drop down is under ABOUT in HISTORY.

  • Help with Dreamweaver CS5 spry menus. Submenus are not showing.

    Hello.
    I am working on a new website, and added 2 vertical spry menus to the page (left hand side under SEARCH). All of my submenus were working properly except for the fact that I couldn't see the entire list once it dropped down past the container window. I tried adding "overflow: visible" to the ul.MenuBarVertical ul AND ul.MenuBarVertical ul li and all of my submenus disappeared. Both spry menus were saved with different names. I tried UNDO multiple times, but they are still not working. HELP! I really don't want to have to go back and re-create these 2 menus.
    Thank you.
    Heres the link to my website
    http://www.advertools.net/pmgdemo/index.html
    P.S. I am Mac based and have only viewed my site on Safari, so I'm not sure how this looks on IE or any other browsers.

    I looked at your linked site from a PC on Chrome 12, Firefox 4 and IE9. Your menus show albeit that they sometimes overlap a little in an unpleasant (but workable) way. I have not checked with Safari, need to get an updated copy.
    So the problem does not show up in the browser.
    Is the problem with Contribute?
    PS: You submenus show out horizontally, not vertically - is that what you intended?

  • Vertical Spry sub menu bar gets misplaced in IE

    Hi,
    I'm using Vertical spry menu bar 1.4 and it works fine in
    Firefox, but the submenu appears on a different place in Internet
    Explorer, you can check it at
    http://www.holystichaven.com/Html/main.html,
    i tried changing the positions using the margins provided on the
    help, but it still won't work.
    Thanx for any help.
    Wayne

    Hello,
    Here are the steps you should do to make the menu work as
    expected:
    1. Remove all the <div align="center"> from the HTML
    source because this will trigger a bug in IE and will apply to all
    <a> tags when they are declared as block elements and will
    modify their position.
    2. Go into your CSS and in the first class ul.MenuBarVertical
    change the width:auto; with width: 11em;
    3. Into the CSS change into the "ul.MenuBarVertical ul" the
    margin property:
    margin: 0% 0 0 95%;
    to
    margin: 0% 0 0 11em;
    4. In the "ul.MenuBarVertical a" please add the following
    line:
    text-align: center;
    5. Go to the following URL:
    http://www.cristic.ro/samples/SpryMenuBar.js
    and our latest version for the Spry Menu Bar that fix an issue on
    IE.

  • Using images in Spry menus

    Can someone please point me to instructions on how to incorporate button images in horizontal Spry menus?

    Here's the working model for the menu I created using images for the main menu tabs: http://mmfc.org/HomePage_CleanUp/index_working.html. And here is the style sheet: http://mmfc.org/HomePage_CleanUp/SpryAssets/working.css.
    I have one remaining problem, and hope someone can help.
    There are three states/images for the main menu tabs: normal state, hover state (when the cursor is over the tab), and visible state (when a submenu is open and the cursor is over a submenu item).
    In OS10.6.4/Safari, it works correctly:
    Normal state
    Hover state
    Visible state
    In Windows XP/IE 6, the 3rd state works incorrectly -- the hover state doesn't get replaced by the visible state:
    In OS10.6.4/Opera and OS10.6.4/Firefox, it also works incorrectly -- but this time the hover state gets replaced by the hover color, not the visible state image:
    For reference, I've copied the CSS below.

  • Spry menus - using images for buttons

    A search of the forums shows two approaches, to use an image
    for a button in a Spry menu.
    One of them uses HTML to put an <img> into the
    <li>. Here is the example I found cited [contributed by
    arandlett - though said there not to work in IE7].
    <ul class="MenuBarVertical" id="MenuBar1">
    <li><img src="images/bullet.png" align="left"
    /><a class="MenuBarItemSubmenu"
    href="index.htm">home</a></li>
    <li><img src="images/bullet.png" align="left"
    /><a href="#">About</a> </li>
    </ul>
    The other advises "find "background-color" and change it to
    "background-image: url(link/to/image)" " [contributed by The only
    RaM].
    Underlying of course, is the question, how does the HTML
    interplay (or not!) with the Spry javascript?
    By this time, there must be pretty wide experience. After
    all, putting interesting buttons in the popups/dropdowns is in many
    ways what this is about.
    We would be quite appreciative to learn what experience
    indicates, now, is best practice. Or, does it depend, on ... ?
    Thanks in advance for your help, David Allen

    Let me add a note to my own post.
    We would still be delighted to hear others' experience, with
    images in Spry menus. One thing does emerge with a little further
    look: The Spry menu is suited to using the _same_ image for each
    button. If the desire is to vary that image (such as to use an
    unusual font, so that the text changes on each image), then
    Fireworks clearly is the tool of choice.
    Again, we would be pleased to hear other experiences, David
    Allen

  • Vertical text. Can FireFox display a vertical text? Which HTML tags should be used for that?

    The site http://habrahabr.ru/blogs/css/58732/ recommends a way for using vertical text in HTML/CSS (see example below). However my instance of Firefox 3.6.22 does not display this vertical text. Please let me know your recommendations/

    You will have to update your spry code (do not know how (possibly in editing the css), but it is causing the problem).
    If you have CS3 or 4, you can use the spry updater extension from -

  • Disappearing Vertical Spry menu buttons in IE

    I have some experience with web developement, but this is my first attempt at Spry menus.  I have a horizontal menu that is working great, but the vertical menu doesn't work correctly in IE (I'm using IE8).  It works just fine in Firefox.  When I mouse over a button, all the other buttons disappear, and then most of the buttons don't appear again even when I move the mouse off of the menu.
    Here's the temporary URL to the page in question: http://web.mst.edu/~cdcgg3/AAVG/template_USLI.html   (Note: this is just the preliminary layout, none of the links go anywhere yet.)
    Any ideas?  Like I said, I'm new to Spry so any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks!

    I think you may have an issue with height:auto in IE

  • Help with vertical Spry menu

    I posted this in the general forum, but thought I'd repost
    here since this is more specific to Spry.
    I'm having issues in IE (6 & 7...surprise, surprise) with
    my vertical spry menu. It displays exactly the way I want it when I
    use Opera. I think it has to do with the whitespace:nowrap on the
    2nd level menu items, but I really don't know. I want the 2nd level
    menu to be different width than the 3rd level, so I have both
    levels set to auto width with nowrap.
    This is how it looks in IE 7:
    Menu
    in IE
    This is how it looks in Opera (correct):
    Menu
    in Opera
    Attached is my CSS as well. Let me know if you need the HTML,
    too.
    Thank you for helping!

    IE is a big problem child among browsers.  Don't use it as your default browser.
    For best results, build your site to display & perform well in the web standards browsers like Firefox, Chrome, Safari & Opera.   If it works in one, it should work pretty much the same in all of them.
    After you're satisfied with how your site looks in the good browsers, then test in IE.  If needed, add hacks or conditional comments to make IE behave.  There are many web sites that discuss known bugs in IE and how to work around them.
    Lastly, the active X nag screens only appear locally.  Once deployed on the remote server, you won't see them.
    For better answers to your layout questions, we need to see your page.  Can you post a URL?

  • Problem with jquery slide show conflict with vertical navigation menu in Firefox & Chrome

    Problem with jquery slide show conflict with vertical navigation menu in Firefox & Chrome. Works in IE. This is my first time trying to post a question - so please be kind. I am also not good with code and am finding css a real challenge after learning to design based on tables. I'm using CS5.
    The "test" page with the slide show is: http://www.reardanwa.com/index-slides.html   The same page without the slide show is http://www.reardanwa.com/
    I realize the images are not ideally sized - I'll fix those once I get the pages to function.  Maybe I need a different slide show? I would prefer a widget that I can modify to required size & postition. Again - I'm not good at building with code from scratch.
    The problem is the naviagation links that are directly next to the slide show do not work in Firefox of Chrome. They do work in IE.
    I've read about using jQuery.noConflict(); code but can't figure out the correct way to use it in my case or whether that's even part of the solution. I know my code is not well organized as I have cobbled together from various sources in an attempt to format the page the way the client wants it. Also, FYI, I will eventually try to make the page work in Surreal CMS.
    I've spent sevaral days over the last several weeks trying to solve sth slide show/navigation conflict - so any specific light you can shed will be much appreciated.
    Thanks in advance.

  • Help with vertical spry menu bar submenu displaying incorrectly!

    I’m new to Dreamweaver and am learning as I go. I am having a problem with the vertical spry menu bar submenu in the Live View. When I scroll over the spry menu bar option that has a submenu, the submenu appears in the upper right hand corner of my screen. (My menu bar is going down the left hand side.) However, when I preview it in Internet Explorer it looks fine after I allow the Java Script to run or the Active X controls, which my browser usually automatically blocks. (The browser just displays a small message along the top and I click on it to allow it.) To get it to do this much, I had to play around with the CSS for the spry menu bar a little bit.
    Before, when I clicked on the Live View option, a small message ran along the top in Dreamweaver saying it couldn’t find the Flash Plugin and asked me to download the most recent FlashPlayer, which I did twice. It continued to say that and then I just closed that message that kept popping up, but I think that has something to do with the problem. I then researched that problem in the Spry Framework Help and Dreamweaver Help, but couldn’t find a solution that worked. (Someone had posted a link for downloading the Flash Player for Netscape Navigator, but that didn’t seem to do anything.)
    Please also note that I am using one of Dreamweaver’s pre-built layouts. I don’t know if that makes a difference with this problem.
    How do I fix this problem so that it displays correctly in the LiveView? And will the message that I get on my browser about allowing blocked content appear on other people’s computer when they open my website?

    IE is a big problem child among browsers.  Don't use it as your default browser.
    For best results, build your site to display & perform well in the web standards browsers like Firefox, Chrome, Safari & Opera.   If it works in one, it should work pretty much the same in all of them.
    After you're satisfied with how your site looks in the good browsers, then test in IE.  If needed, add hacks or conditional comments to make IE behave.  There are many web sites that discuss known bugs in IE and how to work around them.
    Lastly, the active X nag screens only appear locally.  Once deployed on the remote server, you won't see them.
    For better answers to your layout questions, we need to see your page.  Can you post a URL?

    I am sorry, but you have changed the CSS beyound recognition; I do not want to spend my time going through it to correct it.
    One example that has angered me is
    BROWSER HACKS: the hacks below should not be changed unless you are an expert
    /* 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;
        filter:alpha(opacity:0.1);
        margin: 0;
        padding: auto;
        list-style-type: katakana;
        font-size: 100%;
        cursor: default;
        width: 13em;
        border-top-color: #edeeee;
        border-top-style:groove;
        border-bottom-color:#313132;

        border-right-color:#3d3d3e;
        border-right-width: thin;
            border-right-style:groove;
    Changing this has not made you an expert
    Another example on or about line 155 is this line which is sure to upset the browser.
    ul.MenuBarVertical a:focus
    Yet another one
    /* Submenu that is showing with class designation MenuBarSubmenuVisible, we set left to 0 so it comes onto the screen */
    ul.MenuBarVertical ul.MenuBarSubmenuVisible
       left: -11px;
        border-top-color: #edeeee;
        border-top-style:groove;

  • IE problems with vertical spry menu bar

    hi,
    first of all: I'm aware that this problem has been discussed
    before. but nothing I've found so far has really helped me.
    the problem is that my vertical spry menu bar doesn't work
    properly with the internet explorer. I've (clumsily) repositioned
    the submenu bars, but that didn't seem to be the main problem.
    I'm using dreamweaver cs3 on a mac and have checked for
    safari and firefox, in which everything works fine. I'd be very
    grateful if someone could have a look at
    www.philipbirau.com/portfolio.htm.
    unfortunatly, I have neither the skills nor the money for
    'professional' webdesign, so any hint will be appreciated. if you
    need more information, please let me know.
    thanks!
