Read through the steps below to learn how to alter the appearance of a drop-down menu created with Spry in Dreamweaver. As you insert a Spry Menu Bar, you have the option to create a menu that displays horizontally across your page with submenu options that drop down below the menu bar, or a vertical menu bar with submenu options that open to the right of the main menu items. You must make this choice during the setup process by clicking on the corresponding button and then clicking OK to insert the menu.

Click on the name of the style in the CSS Styles panel and then in the Properties pane, click just to the right of the Float field to use the drop-down list, and select Right instead of Left.
The trick to changing the colors of the drop-down menu items is that in CSS, these colors are assigned to the link styles, which have multiple states. MenuBarHorizontal a. MenuBarItemHover, ul.
Many changes to these styles are only visible when you view the page in a Web browser or in the new Live View option available in Dreamweaver CS4 or later.

I can now make a spry vertical menu and adjust it how I want. The next issue is that in a fluid grid layout it does not seem to allow me to place text next to the menu bar without it becoming part of the menu bar. I tried a horizontal spry menu but I did not like the way it stacked up in a smartphone. That is why I wanted to try the vertical menu instead. Can the vertical spry menu be used in a fluid grid layout and include text to the right of the menu bar?
Janine — Hey — Lew Knopp here with a very quick question. I have literally worked on this for a week as my wife has been dealing with some medical issues, or else I would not have the time. I work in CS3. I would suggest you upgrade to a newer version of Dreamweaver, however the latest version, Dreamweaver CC, does not include a drop-down menu option.
I used it recently on a site and was very pleased with the options and functionality. Hi, i was wondering do you know how to make the submenus not to go down, so when you hover on a menu the submenus display going up??
