Why is my Spry menu so slow in IE?

Hallo all
I'm a novice web designer. We're re-designing our very
outdated travel website. The old site
used (still uses...) images in its dropdown menu. I was very
excited to discover the Spry
widgets and it was one of the main reasons we upgraded our
old DW MX to DW CS3.
I started building the drop-down menu and found the going
relatively easy. The menu is very
extensive (lots of menu items) and I do realise that there
are more effective approaches.
But given our limited in-house skills we have to go with what
we can manage and maintain.
Our main aim is to help prospective clients get to what
they're looking for with the least
possible clicks.
I hit a wall when I started previewing the menu in IE7 (my
main browser is FF). I was able
to sort out layout and placing issues, but I'm stumped by
IE's slow rendering of the
submenus... Once again, I do realise that the menu is heavy
in content. But why does FF
render it so quickly then? In IE, when I mouse-over a
top-level menu item a little animated
circle in the IE7 tab indicates that it's processing
information (?), a full five seconds
elapses before the submenu appears, mouse-over an item on
that submenu and it's once again 5
secs before the 2 / 3d level appears. The 'tours &
safaris' menu is the most extensive (with
more items to come once I sort this issue out), but even the
'destination guides' submenu
-which is very light at present- takes that long to render.
I've uploaded DW's temp preview file to our server at
http://www.afrilux.co.za/test/TMPxf5z5fcvjz.htm
When DW creates the preview file it works the site's style
sheet, as well as the Sprymenu
CSS, into the html file, so all of that is in the above file.
The SpryMenuBar.js file is at
http://www.afrilux.co.za/test/SpryAssets/SpryMenuBar.js
I don't remember changing anything in this file though.
My main issue, on which I would much appreciate some help is
WHY IS IE RENDERING THE MENU SO
SLOWLY AND IS THERE ANYTHING I CAN DO TO ADDRESS IT?
Thanks for your effort!
Mike
P.S. While I would dearly like to get the present menu to
function normally in IE, I am open
to alternative suggestions that is viable for a
non-expert.

Karonz, thanks for the reply and the trouble you took to hack
a bit at my menu. It is much appreciated.
It looks like the performance in IE is slightly better, but
I'm afraid in my opinion it is still too slow.
In short I've decided to make use of the programme suggested
by Al Sparber above. I do realise that he is co-owner of the
company that produces and markets the suggested programme (PMM2).
However, I've had a look at PPM2 and I believe it's my best option
right now. I suspect there's one or two things in the programme
that I would have liked differently. But the important thing is
that, having played around with it for a day, my menu seems to
render (very) quickly in both FF and IE - despite its size (i.e.
the large amount of items in my menu). PPM2 menu's also detect the
edge of the screen and prevents the menu from leaving the screen -
rather opening submenu's to the opposite side. This is the kind of
functionality that I don't believe the Spry Menu's even come close
to.
I'm very disappointed that DW CS3 ships / shipped with a
pre-release Spry. One of the things that convinced me to upgrade
from MX was the believe that CS3 could easily create text-based
dynamic menus. I spent a lot of time building the menu (not yet
complete) before I discovered that it rendered so slowly in IE. My
impression is that any menu with a number of items above a certain
threshold is automatically going to render slowly in IE. I realise
that the main problem is with IE. However, it is the dominant
browser and I'm disappointed that Spry's menu seems not to be up to
the task.
I'm looking forward to the day when Spry is stable. For now,
I'm fearing trying out another Spry widget - how much time will I
waste on the next widget?
I'll be blogging on my experience with PPM2 soon and will put
a link in the thread at that time. Another (free) alternative I
looked at was "Son of Suckerfish", which seemed promising. I just
don't have the time to build and style another CSS menu from
scratch and thus could not fully test it. But if you have time and
want to play around with it go to:
http://www.htmldog.com/articles/suckerfish/dropdowns/
PPM2, the menu that has worked wonders for me so far
(compared to my struggle up to now) is a Project Seven product,
which you'll find at
http://www.projectseven.com/products/menusystems/pmm2/index.htm.
I installed it easily as an extension to Dreamweaver and have been
using it, albeit for a short time, inside Dreamweaver CS3. I trust
this may be of help to someone!

Spry Menu Bar Slow in IE6

The display of Spry submenus within the Menu Bar is very slow
with a large menuing system. Additionally, submenus are slow to
close when the mouse moves away to another 'button', resulting in
another delay in the display of the second submenu set. The lag
time issue is occurring in IE6, but not in Firefox 2, Opera 9, or
Safari 3 beta (Windows).
I suspect the cause is that IE is not applying the scripted
classes as fast the other browsers, especially as the lag is even
more visible in the display of the rollover arrow (down and/or
right). I have attempted to adjust the timeout settings (opentime
and closetime) to no effect.
The pages in which the menuing system appears are
complicated, and heavy, which may also play into the problem, but I
suspect that without a fix for the timing issue the menuing system
will proved frustrating for users.
Any suggestions on how to fix this issue anyone?
Thanks.

Hi, I'm a Dreamweaver CS4 / Spry newbie who had exactly the same problem with a vertical Spry menu disappearing in IE6.
After some trial and error, I found that reducing the Width in the Box category of ul.MenuBarVertical to 175 px, 5 px less than the 180 px width of my left sidebar Div <div #sidebar1> made the menus appear normally in IE6.
As you can imagine, this was a huge pain to troubleshoot - had to downgrade an old laptop to XP with IE6 to troubleshoot as I tried different fixes.
Hope this helps.

Have a look at lines 212 and 213 which read as follows
<script src="file://///SNCentral/Home/akaniecki/My Documents/Web Site Root Folder/Templates/SpryAssets/SpryMenuBar.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<link href="file://///SNCentral/Home/akaniecki/My Documents/Web Site Root Folder/Templates/SpryAssets/SpryMenuBarHorizontal.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">
The red part shows the URL to the files. However, these files point to your locahost.
In your template, The links should look like
<script src="../SpryAssets/SpryMenuBar.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<link href="../SpryAssets/SpryMenuBarHorizontal.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">
Also make sure that the files do exist in the remote SpryAssets folder.

I was working on my spry menu bar and now my sidebar1 photo moves with the menu bar?

I was working on my spry menu bar, and getting really far with it thanks to GRAMPS, and all of a sudden I wanted to put padding of 30px top and 30 px bottom on the sidebar1 photo in the container and now all of a sudden the home.jpg photo in the sidebar moves when you hover over the menu bar.
I can noit for the life of me figure out what changed and somehow was so excited about my spry menu bar working that I did not save the most recent working page. Can anybody look at this with me and let me know what changed to mess the page up on me.
Thanks a million.
Ted
site is located here http://www.subzerorefrigeration.com
None of the links are working I have just been playing with the spy menu for weeks. I finally figured it out and do not belive the error is in the spry style sheets.
Here is the code for my page. I know I am working with a template. I really do not want to start over if a <div> tag is missing.
Any other suggestions would be appreciated.

    <h1>Instructions</h1>
    <p>Be aware that the CSS for these layouts is heavily commented. If you do most of your work in Design view, have a peek at the code to get tips on working with the CSS for the fixed layouts. You can remove these comments before you launch your site. To learn more about the techniques used in these CSS Layouts, read this article at Adobe's Developer Center - <a href="http://www.adobe.com/go/adc_css_layouts">http://www.adobe.com/go/adc_css_layouts</a>.</p>
    <h1>Clearing Method</h1>
    <p>Because all the columns are floated, this layout uses a clear:both declaration in the .footer rule. This clearing technique forces the .container to understand where the columns end in order to show any borders or background colors you place on the .container. If your design requires you to remove the .footer from the .container, you'll need to use a different clearing method. The most reliable will be to add a <br class="clearfloat" /> or <div class="clearfloat"></div> after your final floated column (but before the .container closes). This will have the same clearing effect.</p>
    <h3>Logo Replacement</h3>
    <p>An image placeholder was used in this layout in the .header where you'll likely want to place a logo. It is recommended that you remove the placeholder and replace it with your own linked logo. </p>
    <p> Be aware that if you use the Property inspector to navigate to your logo image using the SRC field (instead of removing and replacing the placeholder), you should remove the inline background and display properties. These inline styles are only used to make the logo placeholder show up in browsers for demonstration purposes. </p>
    <p>To remove the inline styles, make sure your CSS Styles panel is set to Current. Select the image, and in the Properties pane of the CSS Styles panel, right click and delete the display and background properties. (Of course, you can always go directly into the code and delete the inline styles from the image or placeholder there.)</p>
    <h4>Backgrounds</h4>
    <p>By nature, the background color on any div will only show for the length of the content. This means if you're using a background color or border to create the look of a side column, it won't extend all the way to the footer but will stop when the content ends. If the .content div will always contain more content, you can place a border on the .content div to divide it from the column.</p>

I seem to have fixed it by putting <div class="clearfloat"></div> after the navigation bar?

Spry Menu Bar Positioning Problem in IE

I have a Dreamweaver-created Spry Menu Bar drop down menu which works perfectly in every browser on my Mac and on my PC . . . EXCEPT Internet Explorer (who woulda thunk it?!!)
In all browsers except for IE, the 3 submenu items under "Door Systems" and "Gallery" appear exactly as they should in a vertical row, positioned just below the brown line below the navigation links and all the same width. But in IE they appear higher up and with different widths. IE is ignoring the rules for width and position.
<ul id="MenuBar2" class="MenuBarHorizontal">
    <li><a class="MenuBarItemSubmenu" href="closet_doors_gallery.html">DOOR SYSTEMS</a>
      <ul>
        <li><a href="sliding_doors_nyc_nj.html">DOOR PROFILES</a></li>
        <li><a href="bifold_doors_nyc_nj.html">PANELS COLORS</a></li>
        <li><a href="room_dividers_nyc_nj.html">DOOR SYSTEM TYPES</a></li>
      </ul>
    </li>
</ul>
<ul id="MenuBar3" class="MenuBarHorizontal">
    <li><a class="MenuBarItemSubmenu" href="#">GALLERY </a>
      <ul>
        <li><a href="#">SLIDING DOORS</a></li>
        <li><a href="#">BI-FOLD DOORS</a></li>
        <li><a href="#">ROOM DIVIDERS</a></li>
      </ul>
    </li>
</ul>
Here is the page where you can see the problem if you view it with IE, and see that it's fine in Safari, and Firefox,    Chrome and Opera, Mac or PC:

I have a feeling it's a simple fix of the css, but I can't figure it out - I would really appreciate anyone's help with it - thank you!

Hi and thank you very much. It was a little confusing as to whether you meant to add the rules you suggested or to replace them, or a combination of both, but I puzzled it out. I created a new MenuBarHorizontal.css file in a blank page and then made the changes you suggested and it works! Yay! I had to do a bit of tweaking to get it to look just the way I wanted, but it now works correctly in ie 7 and 8 and still works fine in everything else.
Interestingly enough, I had to change the margin-top: 63px; rule in "ul.MenuBarHorizontal ul.MenuBarSubmenuVisible" to 40px to get it positioned properly vertically, and I had to get rid of the "border-bottom: solid 1px #EEE;" in "ul.MenuBarHorizontal ul li", which caused the submenu items to have quite a lot of vertical space between them - I'm not sure why!
I also had to get rid of all the syling rules in the "SUBMENU INDICATION: styles if there is a submenu under a given menu item" section, as well as the one you added: "ul.MenuBarHorizontal a.MenuBarItemSubmenu {
    padding: 0.5em 2em 0.5em 0.75em;"
With that done, it works great in both ie7 and ie8, so thank you for the help. Below is the new css that works, in total.
Not being as familiar with the subtleties of CSS as you and many others obviously are, I'm REALLY curious as to exactly what is different that causes this to work now, and would be happy to hear your expanation, if you feel like taking the time to explain. If not, no problem - it works and that is the most important thing! So, thank you again -
Perry

Spry Menu Bar 2.0 (1.0) - Handling of widget generated CSS, placement and rendering problems in CSS

Hello:
I wanted to repost my question to re-frame the issue based on what I have learned thus far.
I am working on a website that has been developed using the Spry Menu Bar Framework UI (2.0) I.0, that has some peculiar rendering problems that affect IE 6 in particular. The CSS is reprinted below.
In particular, when I post the widget generated CSS in the head as it is orginally situated by the framework, the menu bar works fine. However, it seemed to me that I should be able to reduce page weight (an important consideration considering my target population) by placing it in the general style sheet governing the entire site.
When I place the styles at the beginning of the style sheet the menu doesn't render at all in any of the browsers (IE 6+, Firefox, Opera, Safari, Netscape, etc.) as it conflicts with the general rules governing links that appear later in the style sheet. When I place the styles specific to the Menu bar at the end of the style sheet, then the menu bar renders properly in all browsers except IE 6.
The odd thing is that the only way to ensure that the menu bar works in IE 6 is to keep the menu related styles in the head of each page. This raises problems related to page weight (not an insurmountable consideration if no other solution can be found) but still an issue. Likewise I need to support IE 6, again given the target audience/population. The issue obviously has something to do with specificity, but I am not certain that is the only consideration at work here. I have not tried the !important selector in regard to the menu, as IE 6 seems to only partially support this.
Thanks in advance for any advice or insight that can be provided. Thanks in particular to Martin for his contributions to my earlier question related to this issue.
Steve Webster.
The CSS governing the horizontal menu bar is as follows: (currently the following CSS is embedded in the head of the web page)
<style type="text/css">
/* -- Begins Spry Menu Widget 2.0 (1.0) Horizontal menu bar Custom styles -- */
/* BeginOAWidget_Instance_2141544: #MenuBar */
/* Settable values for skinning a Basic menu via presets. If presets are not sufficient, most skinning should be done in
   these rules, with the exception of the images used for down or rightpointing arrows, which are in the file SpryMenuBasic.css
     These assume the following widget classes for menu layout (set in a preset)
   .MenuBar - Applies to all menubars - default is horizontal bar, allsubmenus are vertical - 2nd level subs and beyond are pull-right.
    .MenuBarVertical - vertical main bar; all submenus are pull-right.
   You can also pass in extra classnames to set your desired top levelmenu bar layout. Normally, these are set by using a preset.
    They only apply to horizontal menu bars:
        MenuBarLeftShrink - The menu bar will be horizontally 'shrinkwrapped' to be just large enough to hold its items, and left aligned
        MenuBarRightShrink - Just like MenuBarLeftShrink, but right aligned
        MenuBarFixedLeft - Fixed at a specified width set in the rule '.MenuBarFixedLeft', and left aligned.
        MenuBarFixedCentered - - Fixed at a specified width set in the rule '.MenuBarFixedCentered',
                        and centered in its parent container.
        MenuBarFullwidth - Grows to fill its parent container width.
    In general, all rules specified in this file are prefixed by #MenuBar so they only apply to instances of the widget inserted along
   with the rules. This permits use of multiple MenuBarBasic widgets onthe same page with different layouts. Because of IE6 limitations,
    there are a few rules where this was not possible. Those rules are so noted in comments.
#MenuBar {
    background-color:transparent;
   font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; /* Specify fonts on onMenuBar 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. */

/* 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 forselection, such as "hover" (MenuItemHover) and "has a subMenu"(MenuItemWithSubMenu),
* giving the selector '.MenuItemWithSubMenu.MenuItemHover'.
* Unfortunately IE6 does not support using mutiple classnames in aselector for an element. For a selector such as '.foo.bar.baz', IE6ignores
* all but the final classname (here, '.baz'), and sets thespecificity accordingly, counting just one of those classs assignificant. 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 lotof these needed, the plugin does not generate the extra classes formodern 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.jsscript.
* The 'SpryIsIE6' class is placed on the HTML element by the script in SpryMenuBarIEWorkaroundsPlugin.js if the browser isInternet Explorer 6. This avoids the necessity of IE conditionalcomments for these rules.

Hi Nancy:
The specific code that I am referring to is the CSS code governing the styling of the spry menu widget that only works in IE 6 if, and only if, it remains in the head of the web page. If removed and placed in a stylesheet, the IE plugins fail to compensate for the IE 6 "gap" bug. As I said, it doesn't make sense to me that, assuming specificity is addressed, that these can not be included in an external style sheet. I am looking for a) an explanation why they must remain embedded in the web page; and 2) any means by which I might be able to export them.
I will reproduce the specific css style (code) below: it should also be visable through reveal source --
Thanks again, Steve Webster.
The CSS governing the horizontal menu bar is as follows: (currently the following CSS is embedded in the head of the web page)
<style type="text/css">
/* -- Begins Spry Menu Widget 2.0 (1.0) Horizontal menu bar Custom styles -- */
/* BeginOAWidget_Instance_2141544: #MenuBar */
/* Settable values for skinning a Basic menu via presets. If presets are not sufficient, most skinning should be done in
   these rules, with the exception of the images used for down or rightpointing arrows, which are in the file SpryMenuBasic.css
     These assume the following widget classes for menu layout (set in a preset)
   .MenuBar - Applies to all menubars - default is horizontal bar, allsubmenus are vertical - 2nd level subs and beyond are pull-right.
    .MenuBarVertical - vertical main bar; all submenus are pull-right.
   You can also pass in extra classnames to set your desired top levelmenu bar layout. Normally, these are set by using a preset.
    They only apply to horizontal menu bars:
        MenuBarLeftShrink - The menu bar will be horizontally 'shrinkwrapped' to be just large enough to hold its items, and left aligned
        MenuBarRightShrink - Just like MenuBarLeftShrink, but right aligned
        MenuBarFixedLeft - Fixed at a specified width set in the rule '.MenuBarFixedLeft', and left aligned.
        MenuBarFixedCentered - - Fixed at a specified width set in the rule '.MenuBarFixedCentered',
                        and centered in its parent container.
        MenuBarFullwidth - Grows to fill its parent container width.
    In general, all rules specified in this file are prefixed by #MenuBar so they only apply to instances of the widget inserted along
   with the rules. This permits use of multiple MenuBarBasic widgets onthe same page with different layouts. Because of IE6 limitations,
    there are a few rules where this was not possible. Those rules are so noted in comments.
#MenuBar {
    background-color:transparent;
   font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; /* Specify fonts on onMenuBar 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. */

* Unfortunately IE6 does not support using mutiple classnames in aselector for an element. For a selector such as '.foo.bar.baz', IE6ignores
* all but the final classname (here, '.baz'), and sets thespecificity accordingly, counting just one of those classs assignificant. 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 lotof these needed, the plugin does not generate the extra classes formodern 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.jsscript.
* The 'SpryIsIE6' class is placed on the HTML element by the script in SpryMenuBarIEWorkaroundsPlugin.js if the browser isInternet Explorer 6. This avoids the necessity of IE conditionalcomments for these rules.

Spry Menu Bar 2.0 and positioning of arrows

Hello again,
I'm now trying to incorporate Spry Menu Bar 2.0 into a client site, using CS6. Two things are occurring: in Live View, for long lines of menu text, the text wraps to a second line (as I would prefer) and the arrows to submenus line up in a readable fashion. But when I view it in IE or Firefox, the text spills outside (off to the right) of the vertical menu container and the submenu arrows are hidden underneath the text. As far as width, I've tried auto and inherit.
So, out of frustration I finally decided I would just shorten my menu text to solve the spilling over problem, and a set pixel width that accommodated my longest line of text. But still, even if the text just fills the container, the arrow is hidden underneath the text. I'm pulling my hair out trying to figure out how to adjust the positioning of the arrow so that it's off to the far right, as it should be. I assume it is this set of rules that controls the arrow:
.MenuBarVertical .MenuItemWithSubMenu .MenuItemLabel{
    background-image:url("images/ArrowMenuRight.gif");
    background-position:right center;
    background-repeat:no-repeat;
.MenuBar .SubMenu .MenuItemWithSubMenu .MenuItemLabel{
    background-image:url("images/ArrowMenuRight.gif");
    background-position:right center;
    background-repeat:no-repeat;
.MenuBar .SubMenu .MenuItemHover.MenuItemWithSubMenu .MenuItemLabel{
    background-image:url("images/ArrowMenuRight.gif");
    background-position:right center;
    background-repeat:no-repeat;
...but I don't know how to adjust these to bump the arrow over. Any ideas out there?
Ideally, I'd like to get back to wrapping my menu text as well, and I don't understand why it appears this way in Live View but not in a browser. But I'll settle for the arrow in the correct position as second prize. Thanks for your help,
Gail

OK, here's what I've done. By adjusting the right padding on #MenuBarVertical .MenuItem .MenuItemLabel, AND #MenuBarVertical .SubMenu .MenuItem .MenuItemLabel, I was able to position the right arrows to where I wanted them. I also removed all links from top-level menu items so that the fly-out submenus would appear on a touch screen. You can see the results on my client site: www.gcssepm.org. I must say that this solution was not intuitive; it took a lot of experimentation to figure out which rule to adjust, and menu rules vs. submenu rules seem to operate in the opposite manner as far as padding and arrows go.
I do have a similar issue with Scott, in that it takes two or more "taps" to get the submenus to fly out, but at least the arrow is there so the user knows there is a submenu to be had. The only real issue I still have is that for sub-submenus (i.e., third-level), no amount of tapping will get those to display long enough to select them (only an issue on the iPad). I don't know a way around this for the iPad, other than to also eliminate all links from second-level menus that have a third level, and that's more reprogramming than I want to do for today.
Final questions regarding the Spry 2.0 widget. Obviously, after I customized the widget, saved it, and imported into my site template, it took some additional tweaking before everything was working properly. Is there a way to export the settings back out to the widget, so that all the tweaking is there? Also, is there a way to save my menu text back to the widget, because it is obviously NOT Home, Entertainment, Music, etc.
Thanks for all your help, and I hope someone else benefits from my experiences as well.

Spry Menu Bar and IE 7.0

The spry menu bar use in
http://www.riversway.org/index_new.html
is not displaying the correct orientation. Any ideas why it is
doing that.
Also, I'm trying to understand the comments in the CSS file
that the menu bar uses. Can anyone tell me where I can edit the
width and height of the menu items individually and the width and
height of the submenu items individually. If there is a better way
than adding a style tag before each item that I need to style
differently than its class designation, I'm all ears.
Thanks,

Hi
I visited your web and the menubar looks ok in both IE7 and
FF2. The menubar is horizontally and the submenus drop down
(vertically). I can't understand your problem.
To change the width items I set an id to the menu item that I
want to be bigger, and then I assign the specific width to it on
css.
If you want to see an example, click
here.
It's only a test, but I think the menubar works. The css is
commented (you will see that submenus on item 2 and item 3 have
their own width). I don't know if this is what you are looking for.
To change the height you can change paddings.
About vertically/horizontally submenus, I saw that assigning
width:auto to ul.MenuBarHorizontal ul cause that IE7 visualizes the
submenu horitzontally instead of vertically in some scenarios. I
think that assigning an specific width fixes that or don't assign
any -in the above URL you can see how I have done.
Good luck

How Do I Create an Editable Spry Menu as part of a Template?

I am having considerable trouble trying to work out an issue and hope you can help. I have been working on a webpage that I would like to be a template for a fundraiser we are doing. I used a horizontal spry menu and a vertical spry menu. I have two youtube videos that I would like embedded on the page, but I would like the flexibility to change them for different pages. I am trying to make my horizontal and vertical spry menus editable since I am going to be making pages for all items in the menus. I can't seem to set this up correctly. Can you tell me what I am doing wrong? I have been able to set up editable regions according to my template file, however, when I open the template, I am unable to edit the spry menus or edit the youtube videos. Setting up editable regions also seems to change the look of my page.
Here is what I would like all the pages to look like: http://www.ymimusic.com/shoppers_guide.html
But this is how it looks presently when I try to make a page from the template I created following the instructions from the course: http://www.ymimusic.com/test.html
Since I cannot get the template to work the way I would like, I have not created any links yet. I can send you the template and html page if this will help. Thank you for your help in advance./p>

Murray,
I am just opening your responses now. I will try to clarify again. "There's the rub. This is not a wise choice. A completely different menu in each page will not only confuse your visitors, it will drive you insane. I strongly suggest you not do this." You were referring to "What throws us off the track is your wish to be able to have a different menubar in each page. In that case the menubar will need to be in an editable region."
What I am simply trying to do is this: If I create a menu that has the following links: About Us, Products, and Contact Us on one page, I want my customers to see the SAME menu on the About Us page, the Products page and the Contact Us page. I am NOT creating different menus on each page. I am trying to automate the format by creating a template that will show these links on each page without me redoing it every page.
When I attempted this, and created a page from the template, I could not get into the menu to assign links to different pages. Using the above example, If I created my About Us page as the template for the site, then created the Products page from the template, I need the ability to assign the links on the Products page to the About Us and Contact Us pages. The page created from the template does not allow me to do this. I cannot get in to assign the links in the Properties section of Dreamweaver. I even attempted to do the following action in the .dwt file I created:
Modify > Templates > Make Attribute Editable
I did this to make the links editable after creating the template. This obviously didn't work.
To summarize: I do NOT want to make different menus on each page. I simply want to create the two menus you see (one horizontal and one vertical) that will be part of the template. I am trying figure out when I assign the links and How. I will go back and read your notes as well as read the help section (F1) as you requested, however that is why I contacted you; I did not understand what I was doing wrong. I have been working with a course series in Lynda.com that has explained much of what to do up to my problem spot, I simply need to understand the concept.
Thank you for your assistance.

Added a spry menu bar and site works in firefox but not in chrome or IE. Please help

Hello,
I'm a photographer by trade and have only picked up enough web design knowledge in order to build a website that isn't distracting to my photographs and is simple to update and mantain. Please breakdown any answers to my questions in very simple terms.
To start off here is a link to my site for reference. www.cechternach.com
1. My Biggest problem right now is that my site works in firefox but appears as a blank white page in chrome and in IE it only shows my background color.
I'm assuming that this has something to do with the spry menu bar I added. The galleries, banner, and footer were all part of a previous version of this website that didn't use the menu bar. I actually used png's exported from an illustrator as buttons. I've been wrestling with this menu bar for a few days now. I had an issue with the menubar forcing down the gallery below it. that was fixed by changing a position value from relative to absolute in the menubar css. Then I couldn't see the submenu over the galleries. I think I fixed that with a wmode change but I"m not sure if I did that right. I believe i needed to change that in the object and embed part of the code. One spot for certain browsers and the other spot for other browsers. I was a little confused on this because i also read that i needed to change the wmode in the javascript file in dreamweaver cs4 which is what i'm using. Whatever wmode I changed it seemed to work in firefox. The submenu background was showing up transparent but i fixed that in the menubar css.
2. I would like the submenu's to have a semi transparent blurred background effect. Is this possible with a spry menu bar?
3. How do I center my text in the submenu?
4. My menu bar buttons should be the same font as my name in my banner. It looks fine on my computer that has that font loaded but on other computers I was testing the site on the menubar buttons show up as a default font. How can i fix this?
5. Is there any way to get rid of the grey lines that show up around my slideshow pro galleries and menu bar buttons when they are clicked?
The last four questions aren't as important as the first one. I may be upsetting the flow of the forum as well. Please let me know if I'm not following procedure with any of my questions. Feel free to point out any other problems you see with my page. I'm trying to learn this as I go. Thanks in advance.

Spry widgets, which includes the SpryMenuBar, in their original state do not pose any problem in any browser!
Widgets contain two parts
JavaScript which drives the widget
CSS which styles the widget to individual tastes
The most common reason for a widget to misbehave especially in IE is because the inexperienced web developer has upset the delicate balance of the CSS. I say delicate, because in the original, great care has been taken by the Spry team to ensure cross browser compatibility.
There are other reasons why a whole page can misbehave. In these cases, the culprit should be sought outside of the Spry framework.
When trouble shooting, I would first of all comment out all of the Spry Spry parts and test the page in IE. If it does work after that, then yes come back here and we will have a look at the SpryMenuBarHorizontal.css for you.
If it doesn't work after disabling Spry, then have a look at the coding and the CSS for your page and fix that.
I hope this helps.

Spry Menu Appears different in IE8 and IE7

All,
As most of the people who post on this site I am new to Dreamweaver CS4. I think I've done a pretty good job and programming my site and my skills will only get better with time. However I am having one issue that I have wrestled with all day. The site I am creating is located at http://www.greenehazel.com/beta. The spry menu looks fine if I access it with IE8, but when I access it in IE7 some of the rows appear on top of other rows etc. I have fiddled with the CSS on this for most of the day and can't figure out why this is occuring. I have attached the CSS below. What am I doing wrong? Any help is greatly appreciated in advance.

Spry Menu 2.0 issues in IE7..   yes another one!

I have CS4, and have used the widget browser to create a Spry Menu 2.0 and have imported it to my site. It displays fine in every browser except for IE7. I have been reading a LOT of threads on issues similiar to this one, so I'm prepared to tell everyone I know to upgrade to at least IE8!! However, I would like to fix it if possible. The menu bar is located in an include file and is attached to all my pages through the php function. I have made zero changes to the css code since I imported it into the site.
I also am wondering why there are two css pages for the menu bar.??
Any help would be appreciated..
One of the pages on the site is: michaelandrewshairstudio.com/offers.php
That page is: ( I have taken out some meta tags and content, but the div's are all still in place.) I also deleted some commented tags by accident when I imported it..

/* 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.

I love your subject line
Spry Menu 2.0 issues in IE7..   yes another one!
It is us as designers/developers that need to create websites for all current browsers. No sense in blaming the browsers, although in this case we could blame Spry Menu 2.0.
Problem with that is that Spry Menu 2.0 has been successfully tested in all modern browsers.
This leaves us with just one possibility, the designer/developer has erred somewhere along the line. After having checked the support files (JS and CSS) and looked at the markup, we now go to the constructor and see the following
var MenuBar = new Spry.Widget.MenuBar2("#MenuBar", {
    widgetID: "MenuBar",
    widgetClass: "MenuBar MenuBarLeftShrink",
    insertMenuBarBreak: true,
A comma after the last value.
I also am wondering why there are two css pages for the menu bar.??
One is the standard CSS for the menubar and under normal circumstances, should not be touched; the other is for the convenience of the designer/developer so that he/she can tweak the menubar to suit. If you wish, you can combine both. In all cases, keep in mind that the CSS for the standard (basic) menubar should come first, so that the other CSS can override the first.
This needs to be corrected in your document

How to use a Spry Menu as a Library item?

Okay, this is my second post; but, with a different title.
I made a Spry menu for my Home Page. I saved it and a logo
together as a library item and placed the library item on a second
page. The links in the menu work when there is no style sheet
attached for the Spry meny and the menu appears just as text; but,
as soon as the .css style sheet for the menu is attached to the
second page, the menu appears correct except the drop down menus do
not work. I tried adding a link to the Spry Java Script file as it
is on the home page; still no luck.
I tried the same with a test file, which I have since
removed, stored at the same folder as the home page; same problem.
How are we suposed to make a workable library item with a
Spry Menu? Surely this is possible, no?
Here are the two pages I am referring to:
Good Page:
http://iculver.com/
Bad Page:
http://iculver.com/pages/AboutUs/Personal_info.html

Apologies - my mistake. You are correct, and my instructions
were
incomplete. That other bit is required too.

The comments 'hide' the scripting from validators and older
browsers, but
it's still recognized as javascript, since the comments occur
INSIDE a
<script> tag.
> these Spry Menus in Libraries easier to use...)
It's not so hard once you get all the pieces together.
1. Create the library item as described.
2. Make sure that each page that is to carry this library
item has the
required links in the head (to the CSS and the js files), AND
in the body.
Why not use a template instead? That way, all of these links
are managed
for you.

Need help with Spry Menu Bar

Hello, I have two templates that I am using. Both have a horizontal menu bar across the top of the page and then two Vertical Spry Menu Bars down the left hand side of the page - one above the other. On one template, all menu bars are working correctly. On the other template, 2 out of three are working correctly. Not sure what's happening here. The spry menu bar that is not working correctly is under "Books & Materials" heading. The menu bar is supposed to turn green when you mouse over it, but instead everything turns white and looks like it "disappears". I have no idea why it would work on one template and not the other. Or for that matter, why it is working on one vertical spry menu bar, but not the other on the same page. Can anyone help me?   www.springerlejoy.com/proanimals4.html This is a page that shows where it is not working. Basically, all of the products pages are having this problem. If you go to the home page: www.springerlejoy.com you will see that this page is working - using a different template. Can anyone help me? I'm at a loss! Thanks!
Debbie
