Layout widgets are fully customizable as
well, so designers can totally make these sophisticated layout options their own.
Spry Menu Bar
Standards-based navigation bars have a number of advantages: they load very quickly, they??™re more accessible
than graphic-based navigation, and they??™re very easy to label. However, they have one major disadvantage:
they??™re very difficult to code correctly. The Spry Menu Bar in Dreamweaver dispenses with the
downside with its instantaneous drag-and-drop application, while keeping all the upsides??”and even
adding some more.
A standards-based menu bar typically uses unordered list tags (a.k.a. bullets) that have been heavily styled
with CSS to achieve multilevel navigation. The Spry Menu Bar widget can be applied horizontally or vertically
and offers a main navigation level with up to two levels of drop-down or fly-out submenus. Once the
widget is placed on the page, the custom Property inspector provides an intuitive way to adjust the menu in
any way you??™d desire. You can add more main or sub-menu items, re-label them, add appropriate links,
restyle, and even add tooltips.
To add a Spry Menu Bar to your page, follow these steps:
1. Place your cursor where you??™d like your menu bar to appear.
2. From the Spry or Layout categories of the Insert bar, choose Spry Menu Bar.
