Hi is there a way to create the navigation 1 time and then pull it into all other pages using css or something else. That way if you need to change the menu bar in the future it will automaticly be updated on all 100+ pages?

Hi,
I found the solution. In the CSS code:
1. Locate the ul.MenuBarVertical li or ul.MenuBarHorizontal li rule.
2. Change the width property to a desired width, or change the property to auto to remove a fixed width, and add the property and value white-space: nowrap; to the rule.

It’s all here: http://livedocs.adobe.com/en_US/Spry/SDG/help.html?content=WS895F3A6D-6D73-42ef-B568-3D04ABD2F171.html

Hope that help somebody else and not just me..!!

Hello,
I wanted to be able to change the background color of the parent menu to “none” so that the background image shows through. And I want the sub-menu to be a solid color.

I thought I had it, as it looked perfect in Firefox but in Explorer 7, both the parent menu and submenu are white….it seems when you set the bg color to none…it shows as white in explorer 7…..is there a fix for this?

Hello,
I have been reading this for a while looking for an answer but I didn’t find it…!
Sorry if someone has already asked this, but I’m going crazy trying to figure out How to make the options in a single line?? I mean, in my menu almost every option has two or three words: too much text: so it automatically makes it in two or three lines. Example: The menu I’m working on now has this options (sorry it’s in spanish):

- Administración
– Concejo Municipal
– Gestión Administrativa
– Desarrollo y Control Urbano

And in the Spry Bar Menu it appear like this:
- Administración
– Concejo
Municipal
– Gestión
Administrativa
– Desarrollo
y Control
Urbano

, making the list looking messy and confusing.

I have been trying in every option making new and modifying Height and width styles, but nothing seems to work yet. If you can help me, any of you, I would really appreciate it.

Thank you very much!

Hi,
Great page with a good manual how to use Spry Menubar.
I’ve create a page in my website with horizontal menu. I’ve also decided to use a frameset in my website.
main Topframe, Downframe and rightframe.

In the topframe I’ve the horizontal menu. But it can’t be shawn properly when I preview it in the webbrowser. The scrolling function doesn’t work properly. Why? It doesn’t shown because is under the downframe, where I would like to drop the links.

What can I do?

What good is having this nice feature, if there is no realistic way to adjust the links contained within globally? This really nice tutorial doesn’t address that at all unfortunately. Starting from scratch, you can utilize templates, but for an existing site, it appears to be useless if you ever have to change a link.

In regards to positioning the menu, I have heard alot of complaints about it going left or right and I had the same problem. I have been struggling with this for days, and I finally decided to play with the padding. To fix my problem, I opened the CSS for ul.menubarhorizontal.li and under “Box” I adjusted “padding left” by pixels amounts. I found that 17 px was the right amount to make it look centered.

When I add a spry toolbar into a frame (leftframe) I cant get the blue menu option in step 8. Is anyone else having this problem?

My horizontal spry menu bar looks good except for one thing…after clicking on one of the links, a very think boarder appears around the box. Is there any way to remove this?

The background colors are set to #FFF…not sure why this is happening???

Many thanks in advance!
