Comments on How to Use Dreamweaver CS 3 Spry Menu Bars

In dreamweaver 8 I was able to create a drop down menu using the behaviors tool. I cannot figure out for the life of me, how to do the same in this version. All I want to do is to be able to move over the About Us tab, and have a menu appear...Anybody?

Hi everything worked nice with the Menu Bars, I'm now trying the Spry collapsible panel. What I'm not sure of is how to assign an already established button(contact) button to function the same as the action open/close button. Its probably something very simple...(well, I hope)

thank you for your input, when i enter auto in the properties you suggested, the menu items shorten. As the main width is 955px, setting 136px for each menu item results in a gap of 3px at the right side end of my menu items. Could someone please correct me where i am going wrong or should i use a 3rd party menu builder to work in with my DreamweaverCS3 web software?

linoz, Spry is the WYSIWYG tool Dreamweaver uses to automate some functions that use AJAX. You don't really learn AJAX using Dreamweaver to do this. It just gives you some help with certain things. Here's the definition of AJAX: Ajax (Asynchronous JavaScript and XML) is a method of building interactive applications for the Web that process user requests immediately. Ajax combines several programming tools including JavaScript, dynamic HTML (DHTML), Extensible Markup Language (XML), cascading style sheets (CSS), the Document Object Model (DOM), and the Microsoft object, XMLHttpRequest.

MarkfromOz, The style selector to control the appearance is ul.MenuBarHorizontal a, and ul.MenuBarHorizonal a.MenuBarItemHover. The Dreamweaver style only comes with color and background color, but you are free to add any additional styles you want, such as background images or border lines. If you want varying widths on the menu items, set the width to auto. The main width is set in ul.MenuBarHorizontal. The width of the pop ups is set in ul.MenuBarHorizontal ul li.

After creating a 7 item horizontal spry menu bar on a 955px width page, can someone please tell me how to edit the menu bar to achieve: 1. an even spread of the 7 the menu bar items evenly across the page. 2.individually alter some menu items to be slightly different widths to cater for longer menu names. 3. set background images such as rounded corner gif buttons as the menu backgrounds and differing hover state images as well. 4. Can the sub-menu item drop downs have differing background images from their parent background? Sorry for the huge question but i am finding solutions to these tasks very hard to find! many thanks .... Mark

Is that so.. that is the other way to use AJAX, eh? What is AJAX? I don't understand. The Book, "AJAX for dummies" that I read, makes me confuse..
