Re: Horizontal Spry Menu Bar links not right in IE by sandra schmitt on Jun 1, 2009 at 11:20:53 pm
I made this change but unfortunately I cant see if it worked until tomorrow when my friend checks it for me on her pc. I hope it worked, if not I will be back :)
Thank you for such a quick response, I am spent and I needed it.
Re: Horizontal Spry Menu Bar links not right in IE by sandra schmitt on Jun 2, 2009 at 11:59:25 am
Thanks for all your help!! As you can see I had couple other questions that I thought of... I think i figured out one though... Trying to make the main/top navbar a little thinner. I did this by changing the padding in the MenuBarHorizontal a... Does this look ok in IE
Re: Horizontal Spry Menu Bar links not right in IE by sandra schmitt on Jun 3, 2009 at 3:46:25 pm
I want the same spry menu that I have at the top of the page also on the bottom. I copy and pasted code but the pasted version on the bottom drop-down button doesn't work? I looked at code and can't see what's missing.
Re: Horizontal Spry Menu Bar links not right in IE by sandra schmitt on Jun 3, 2009 at 9:08:32 pm
he-he I think... i would say I really dont know what that is but I have heard of it and that maybe you are tired of me and my novice self :)
i will google what that is.... in the meantime is there a post you could direct me too? i am in over my head and had no idea these little widgets would be so complicated.... now I know...
Re: Horizontal Spry Menu Bar links not right in IE by Richard Williams on Jun 3, 2009 at 9:20:36 pm
Try this my friend...
What i did, was highlight the menu, by clicking on the blue tab sprymenu in the design view, then copying it. then i pasted it at the bottom, (after i deleted the span you had there). This then recreates it, as menubar2, and installs another link at the top of the code to the actual spry css folder, so i then deleted this line and hey ho, the monkey can rest easy again tonight.

Hello!
Do you have any idea why this wont work for the new Firefox on pc/windows? It works in Firefox for my mac. This is the one browser that I haven't been checking. Same pages I have been working on.

Re: Horizontal Spry Menu Bar links not right in IE by sandra schmitt on Jun 1, 2009 at 11:56:15 pm
One more question for this same post....
In the drop down menu, one of the titles (Tales from the Crypt)is quite a bit longer than the rest. When I make the font bigger it wraps to 2 lines and then cuts off. Meaning the box doesn't get any longer. How can I let a submenu item wrap (meaning be 2 lines) without cutting off? Can you make just one button be 2 lines and the rest only one? OR do they all have to be 2 lines OR all 1 line.
also, the spry menu is not displaying correctly becase the SprymenuBarHorizontal.css has been altered beyond recognition. You need to update the spry files with a new one and then work from there.
