Weird Spry Submenu Effect in Internet Explorer

It looks like the first category item of a Spry submenu is stretching vertically to the same length of the Spry sub sub menu to the right. It works fine in Safari and Firefox. It is only doing this in IE 8 on a pc
Any idea why this might be happening?
Go here to see a photo of it.

Thank you!

I am not sure if the following is the cause of the problem but try it.
/* HACK FOR IE: to stabilize appearance of menu items; the slash in float is to keep IE 5.0 from parsing */
@media screen, projection
     ul.MenuBarHorizontal li.MenuBarItemIE
          display: inline;
          f\loat: left;
     ul.MenuBarHorizontal ul li.MenuBarItemIE
          display: inline;
          f\loat: left;
The second set of rules should be deleted.
I hope this helps.
Ben

    The website is http://wwww.bataviabulldogfootball.tk

    Note that running your page through the W3C Validator gives this list of errors: http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.bataviabulldogfootball.tk%2F&charset=%2 8detect+automatically%29&doctype=Inline&group=0
    I see that you have a very thin doctype at the top. I suggest you create a new page in Dreamweaver and copy the bit at the top of the page:
    <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
    <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
    <head>
    <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
    Then put that code in place of these lines from your current page:
    <!DOCTYPE html>
    <html>
    <head>
    <meta charset="utf-8" />
    I see that you have two opening <body> tags. Delete one; it is not needed. Add the preload images from the second into the first body tag and delete the second.
    I see code below the closing </html> tag. Re position it before the closing </body> tag.
    Because of these errors mentioned above, it was impossible to see the page. Fix and reply here when you have done so.
    Also, it is not possible for me to divine what difficulty you are having. If you can please also express it in English (LOL), I'll be happy to suggest a correction for you!

    p.s. Posting entire blocks of code is NEVER as helpful as giving us a link to the pages in action. I seldom read through code dumps here in the Forum.

  • Spry Menu issues in Internet Explorer

    I have created a Spry menu for my website and although the menu appears to look fine in Firefox and Safari, the formatting changes in Internet Explorer(IE).
    1.sub menu bar is not dropping down below the main menu bar it is appearing at the top of the screen.
    2.When you hover over the sub menu bar items the font should be white however in IE it is appearing as an aqua color.
    3.The menu bar is not straight across the page, at the beginning and end there are chunks of the menu bar that appear white.
    Are there any fixes for these issues that would help to make the menu look consistent across all browsers.  The website page is
    www.applmgt.net/LMNtestpage/html, below is the code.  Any help would be appreciated as soon as possible.

                  is based on the process the employee is involved with or by the

                      in which the employee works. See the list on this page for

                  There are industries other than oil and gas where process operators
                  can work, such as pulp mills and chemical plants. They may process
                  different products, but employers will often consider hiring workers
                  from these other industries.</font></p>

                    are certainly different. They&#8217;re dealing with paper, rather
                    than oil, but we recently hired 18 (previous mill workers) and
                    it&#8217;s
                    my understanding that all 18 have gotten their fourth class tickets
                    since coming to Syncrude. We still need people with refinery experience,

                    them to
                    process steam and operate boilers. Other process operators, such
                    as pulp mill operators, don&#8217;t necessarily need this. </font></p>
                  <p><font size="2" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">In
                      order to be called a power engineer, a person must be certified

    Hi Nadia thanks for your help in trying to fix the spry menus.
    I am new to Dreamweaver and therefore would appreciate a bit more help with the issues you identified.
    I did replace the doctype. As for removing the menu from a table and putting it into a div, would you be able to identify in the code below how I would do that?  Thanks

  • Spry Validation Error in Internet Explorer

    Hi,
    I have a PHP form with Spry Validation for Textfields and Selction.
    The init part in the HTML form looks like this:
          var spryradioanrede = new Spry.Widget.ValidationRadio("spryradioanrede", {isRequired:true, validateOn:["change,blur"]});
           var sprytextfieldvorname = new Spry.Widget.ValidationTextField("sprytextfieldvorname", "none", {isRequired:true,  validateOn:["change,blur"]});

    When loading the page the first time it's not a big problem. But when the users enters some unvalid data the page lodes again and in the onload section from the body the function validateall is startet.
    function validateall()    {

                    status += spryradioanrede.validate();

                    status += spryselectfieldjahr.validate();
                    if (status < 15) {
                        return 0;
                    } else {
                        return 1;
    The error occurs again and the validation is not yet done. Which means, that the fields with problems will not be marked. When entering the field afterward and changing or blur everything works ok and the field is marked in red. Only the onload is not working.
    Any ideas, what the problem is?
    Thank
    Michael

    It seems to be an Error in Spry,
    Open the SpryValidationTextField.js
    find:
    Spry.Widget.ValidationTextField.prototype.reset = function() {
         this.removeHint();
         this.oldValue = this.input.defaultValue;
         this.resetClasses();
         if (Spry.is.ie) {
              //this will fire the onpropertychange event right after the className changed on the container element
              //IE6 will not fire the first onpropertychange on an input type text after a onreset handler if inside that handler the className of one of the elements inside the form has been changed
              //to reproduce: change the className of one of the elements inside the form from within the onreset handler; then the onpropertychange does not fire the first time
              this.input.forceFireFirstOnPropertyChange = true;
              this.input.removeAttribute("forceFireFirstOnPropertyChange");
         var self = this;
         setTimeout(function() {self.putHint();}, 10);
    and replace with:
    Spry.Widget.ValidationTextField.prototype.reset = function() {
         this.removeHint();
         this.oldValue = this.input && this.input.defaultValue ? this.input.defaultValue : "";
         this.resetClasses();
         if (Spry.is.ie) {
              //this will fire the onpropertychange event right after the className changed on the container element
              //IE6 will not fire the first onpropertychange on an input type text after a onreset handler if inside that handler the className of one of the elements inside the form has been changed

  • Spry Accordion Problem in Internet Explorer

    Hi,
    i have created a spry accordion menu in Dreamweaver CS3. My
    problem is that when I click in Internet Explorer, small selection
    handles appear all round the accordion object. This looks quite
    poor then. Any ideas how I can get rid of these?
    Thanks.

    Except for the fact that Spry Accordions are involved, the problem is hardly Spry related.
    Having said that, I will try to help you on your way to solving your problem.
    The following is a list of my observations
    the <div id="wrapper"> on line 74 does not have an ending tag
    <div class="right-column" has 35px padding on the right but not on the left. Because IE interprets the so-called box model differntly to other browsers, and because the div is floated right, the left edge of the div will be pushed further to the left than on other browsers. It may be an idea to put at least some of the padding on the left to keep it clear of the divider line
    the field set in your contact form is 460px wide, the div surrounding it is only 440px and again IE reacts differntly to other browsers in that it expands the parent to suit the child. Try reducing the width of the fieldset to say 400px.

  • Spry Dataset crashes in  Internet Explorer

    Set up a basic spry dataset in HTML with Dreamweaver CS4
    which works great on Firefox but only displays the column names in
    Internet explorer.

    Hi, there are a few way to fix this but you could try targeting a css selector on the unordered list the one called:
    ul.MenuBarHorizontal 
    and float it to the right:
    .MenuBarHorizontal {
         float:right;

  • 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.

  • Compatibilidad de Spry HTML DataSet en Internet Explorer

    Hola que tal tengo un problema correspondiente con un html dataset, espero que me puedan ayudar. El asunto es el siguiente:
    En un archivo asp muestro información que esta almacenada en una Base de Datos, por medio del HTML DataSet muestro esta
    información en un archivo aparte ejemplo el index de mi pagina. Guardo esta información en el index y utilizo el metodo loadData()
    para recargar nuevamente el DataSet para que se muestre la nueva información que ingrese, esto me lo hace de forma perfecta
    en el exploradro Firefox y en el explorador de Google Chrome, por que en Internet Explorer no lo hace??
    Espero que alguien me pueda ayudar gracias y Saludos.

    A ok, gracias por el dato, pero al parecer lo que pasaba es que la pagina
    asp guardaba los valores del DataSet en la cache es por eso que no se
    actualizaban los datos.
    Agregue estas lineas de código para que funcionara bien:
    Response.CacheControl = "Private"
    Response.Expires = 0

    I having trouble with a new site I'm making in CS4. A problem with a vertical menu bar, in IE. Can anyone help?
    1. The text is left aligned and should be centered.
    2. The menu bar has moved left
    3. My paragraph text has moved up the page and aligned itself to the to the menu bar.
    Website address: http://www.greenwyse.co.uk/
    I'm finding dreamweaver a bit clunky, reading the 'Missing Manual' but still very frustrating. Any one have any idea's/
    cheers

    Sorry, but your CSS is has been mangled beyound recognition.
    The solution is to start with an untouched style sheet. Then add or modify the CSS testing in your browsers as you make the changes.
    Have a look at the following where I have positioned the menu. All that is now required is the styling for font and the hover event.

  • Spry:repeat vs. Internet Explore 7.0

    Hi,
    I've made a very simple example with the Spry Framework -
    using the Spry.repeat
    The example works fine in Fixefox, but IE 7.0 won't display
    the data (no error message)
    HTML-file
    http://www.mg04.dk/clausreiss/test_xml.html
    XML-file
    http://www.mg04.dk/clausreiss/data/cafetownsend.xml
    What is wrong? -Please help me!
    jsnedker

    Everything works fine for me "as is" if I run it from my own
    http server. You might want to look into the Content-Type your
    server is sending for the XML file:
    Content-Length 681
    Content-Type application/octet-stream

    The content-type should be either "text/xml" or

  • My verticle Spry menu will not work in Internet Explorer

    I know a lot of people have posted about similar issues, and I've researched multiple "solutions" on multiple forums for something that will work, but nothing has solved the problem so far.
    Here is a link to the prototype homepage: http://www.abrasivesales.com/indexnew.html
    Everything looks great on my mac when opened in Firefox or Safari, however when opened on Internet Explorer on a PC, the menu ceases to be verticle, instead extending horizontally past the end of the screen.  Also, the menu items adopt a white background color, and none of the submenu items will appear when their parent menu item is rolled over.
    PLEASE HELP....this issue has kept me from launching the site for a week now, and my superiors are wondering why this problem is taking me longer than it did to build the homepage in the first place, so I'd love to look like less of an idiot.
    I assuming this is a CSS issue, so I've posted my CSS code below:

    I solved one of my own problems.  It turns out I still had a setting for width set to "auto" instead of a pixel amount.  So now my menu displays normally and my submenus are no longer invisible.
    One one tab, "Products", I set the top at -430px, which internet explorer seems to ignore.  I'm so close!  I'll search for the answer but any help is greatly appreciated.

  • 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.
