Why does Spry horizontal menu bar displays as a list?
I createda spry hoizontal menu bar which looks great on my workspace but when I preview it in a browser, it displays as an unordered list.Does anyone have an explanation for what has happened and how to correct it?
It sounds like the path to the support files - SpryMenuBar.js and/or SpryMenuBarHorizontal.css - is not correct.

Why Does Spry Horizontal Menu Bar Move On Mouse Over In IE 6?
Greetings:
www.marketscholar.com
Can someone please take a look at the pages in this site and
help me figure out why the menu moves around the page when
moused-over in IE6? It works fine for me on IE7.
I am new to DWCS3, Spry, etc. and don't have the first clue
how to fix this.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Spry Horizontal Menu Bar not working in IE
Hi! I am new to this forum and new to Dreamweaver. I recently used Dreamweaver to build a website to display my digital portfolio. I am not very good at this and don't understand much of this works. I inserted a spry horizontal menu bar for my navigation. I did change the original set up to have the background the colors I wanted and I also changed the size so it would go across the top of my page. This looks fine in Firefox and Safari but in Internet Explorer the bar displays vertically, which does not look good. Can anyone look at my code and tell me how I can fix this problem?
I appreciate any help I can get with this as I have tried everything I know.

Spry Horizontal Menu Bar in IE
Hello,
I had looked at the forums for a possible solution to this, and none of the answers I have found work for me. I have a spry horizontal menu bar with a background image. It works in Safari, Chrome, and Firefox but on IE the background image does not show. There is only a white background. I have changed ul.MenuBarHorizontal li.MenuBarItemIE to have a background image but it still doesn't show in IE.
This is the website: fwmedpeds.net
I am very new to this and any help is appreciated.If you go to your online SpryMenuBarHorizontal.css which can be found here http://fwmedpeds.net/SpryAssets/SpryMenuBarHorizontal.css, you will see the last few lines as I have previously quoted.
You will also see what Ken Binney has said

Spry Horizontal Menu bar - submenu position
I'm new to spry so apologies in advance if this has been
posted before.......
I'm putting together a new site using the spry horizontal
menu bar - I've managed to put together a CSS format which works
well in both FireFox and IE7 EXCEPT for the position of the
sub-menus below the main menu bar. IE7 seems to position the sub
menu relative to the top right corner of the parent menu item.
Firefox seems to position it relative to the bottom left corner -
and I can't find a solution which works for both browsers. Any
ideas?You must have fixed it in the meantime as I see no problem.

My spry horizontal menu bar is now displaying vertical. How do I fix it?
My horizontal spry menu bar displays correctly at http://www.matthewvandyke.com/ar/photos/ but displays vertical at http://www.matthewvandyke.com/ar/about.html. It started doing this a few days ago and I am not sure why.
Can anyone take a look at this code and tell me why this would be happening?
Here is the code:

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.

You might try a transitional DTD, which should be more forgiving than the strict:

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
Other than that, I don't see anything particular (because I don't see the error, either) that would cause the menu to drop vertically instead of horizontally.

Horizontal menu bar displays grey in IE - Please Help
These are my first websites and i have created it in DW CS4. Everything is working and i have checked in multiply browsers. The one issue i can't work out is that when viewed in IE the horizontal menu bar looks grayed out. The main menu should be transparent with a white border, while submenus have a .gif image gradient background also with a white border.
Please help, I would be very grateful and if you would ever find yourself in the Maldives i'm sure we could repay the favour.....

Spry Horizontal Menu Bar width problem in IE and Safari
Hi Everyone,
I am working on a template and have used Spry Horizontal Menu for quite a few sites now. This one is giving me problems though on the width of the navigation bar. It moves the last right menu item to the next row on the left in Safari and IE and Chrome, but looks perfect in Firefox. I'm using a googlefont for the text. As I have quite a few menu items I have them set to 'auto' width. Is there a fix to make all the others look like it does in Firefox or do I need to shorten my menu items by changing titles/reducing padding, etc.?
Working page can be viewed at www.ikanizi.com/index2.html
Many thanks.Anyone who increases their browser's text size will see the same thing. For wiggle room, reduce top-level links from 11 to no more than 7.

Spry Horizontal Menu not displayed correctly in Internet Explorer 6
Hello to everyone. I'm creating a website using David's tutorial. My Spry Horizontal Menu is correctly shown in Dreamweaver Live View, Firefox10 but not in IE6. It happears at the bottom of the page. Any advise? Thanks much in advance. Cecilia
Hello Cecilia,
please have a look here: http://gs.statcounter.com/#browser_version-ww-monthly-201201-201202-bar where you can see that this browser (IE6 ) is no longer in use and might not be used anywhere anymore.
And so you should not worry about this. But if it does please send a link to your website in question.
... and what's about the newer IE?

Spry horizontal menu bar and accordion panels not working when published
Hi,
I'm a newbie to Dreamweaver and have been asked to design an intranet site. On the site, I added both Spry widgets for a horizontal menu bar and an accordion panel. Both of these widgets work in preview, however, neither work when I publish. I uploaded the Spry asset folder (with all the CSS and JS files) to the remote server, but still no luck. What am I missing?
Thanks.Despite of what you have staed, my bet is on the fact that the SpryAssets folder and/or the included files are not being found by your page..
Open the site in FF, click on view Source and in the source code click the link to the JS file. If it can be found, it will show the content of the file and you will have the satisfaction of knowing that the page can find the file.
If it does not show the content, you need to correct that.
Good luck.

Spry Horizontal Menu Bar background image IE8 not visible.
I have a slight problem with a horizontal menu bar that I have placed on my site and am hoping someone can help me. It views fine in Firefox, however in IE8 the top menu background image is white instead of the image I specified. Firefox image is below.
Below is IE8 image lacking top menu background:
I am a novice and this is driving me nuts. How can something view fine in Firefox and loose the image in IE explorer? I must have a code incorrect, I know it. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thank you,At the bottom of SpryMenuBarHorizontal.css, you will find

Problem endering Spry Horizontal Menu Bar in IE7...help.
I have created a horizontal menu bar in DW CS4 using Spry. When I view using live view, everything is working. When I test in Firefox and Nomad, everything renders as expected. I have tested the page www.ridedesigns/newsite/index.htm using IE7 on both a Windows XP and Vista platform. The problem is that the dropdown menu items fall on a layer behind the company logo (or so it appears) and are only partially visible behind that jpg.
What have I done incorrectly, or is this a known bug?Here's how I changed the top of your page. Add these two divs:
#menudiv {
width: 868px;
margin-top: 0px;
margin-right: auto;
margin-bottom: 0px;
margin-left: auto;
text-align: center;
#maintable {
width: 868px;
margin-top: 0px;
margin-right: auto;
margin-bottom: 0px;
margin-left: auto;
clear: both;
And use them this way:
<BODY>
<PRE> </PRE>
<div id="menudiv">all of your menu markup here, as you have it now</div>
<div id="maintable">
<TABLE width="868" border="0" align="center" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0" id="template">
<TBODY>
<TR valign="bottom">
<TD height="68" colspan="5" align="left"><IMG src="./index_files/web_banner.gif" width="648" height="73" alt="Ride Designs"></TD>
</TR>
...rest of table as it is now, followed by
</div>
In my analysis, by placing the menubar in the table, it was sinking into the universe of the table and could not rise above it with z-index. In fact, in IE, the list items in the submenus were taking on the height of the <tr> as well as falling down behind lower table rows.
By putting both the menubar and the table into identically-positioned divs...centered by using the margin: auto; on both sides...they will sit adjacent to each other and not interfere. It did not function correctly with both menubar and table in the same div.
Thanks for letting me dig this through you.

CS3 Fix for Spry Horizontal Menu bar/drop boxes positioning bug in IE?
I have searched threads to see if there is an "easy" solution for the incorrect positioning of horizontal menu bar drop boxes in IE browser older versions(mine showed up at the top of the screen and mysteriously included the word "false" in older IE ONLY). Is there a downloadable patch or quick fix for this problem at this point in time? I saw an available download for a newer version of Spry but seems like overkill for this small issue. I am not an experienced web designer or computer geek, but can follow specific directions I am given. The horz bar with drop boxes showed correctly in Firefox and other browsers but not in older(?) IE. For now, I've simply removed the drop boxes to make the page look respectable, but boy did it look good with those boxes. I am hoping somebody can talk to me without lots of teckkie terms. Though I appreciate and love all of you tecs out there.
You really should install the Spry update as it fixes some IE issues that the earlier versions of Spry had. Then use the Dreamweaver Command menu to update your Spry files within your site and you should have the latest and be ready to go. If you're still having issues you may want to also check out the Spry forum: http://forums.adobe.com/community/labs/spry
Let us know if the update doesn't solve your particular problem. -
2 spry horizontal menu bars on same site.
