We wish just to changes the top level Menu Bar item width and background color.
We do NOT want to make any changes to the 2nd or 3rd level menu. Can you please tell us how to do this?

The horizontal Menu Bar test file is:

We saved the html file in text.

Thank you.

This is actually standard Dreamweaver CS3 standard Spry Menu Bar function call.
Now this is my code, as follows; in additional to SpryAssets/SpryMenuBar.js

I have modified the code, and the result is:
Top parent level width change as programmed. Hover over background do change. But please tell me how to change Non-hover background color change?

Submenu hover over background color change differently item 1 and item 3 are different with item 2 and item 3.
Submenu non-hover over background color do change correctly as programmed.

Can you please tell me how just to modify top level menu bar item background color, at non-hover time?

Is this the correct area to ask this questions?
Or, should this be in some other areas, such as html or CCS?
Thank you very much.

This question "how to change horizontal drop down menu top level item mouse hover and non-hover background color and item width?"

We purposely wrote this question to be NON-editor specific. Is this proper forum to ask this question? Thank you.

Thank you for your response.
OK. I have tried to modify this, but no change in the results on background color and font-size.

ul.MenuBarHorizontal li
{
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
list-style-type: none;
font-size: 100%;
position: relative;
text-align: left;
cursor: pointer;
width: 8.8em;
float: left;
}

Hi,

I've been struggling with the same issue and I've managed to resolve it as follows :

Add to SpryMenuBarHorizontal.css the following:

/* This changes the top menu when the mouse hovers over it */
ul.MenuBarHorizontal a:MenuBarItemSubMenu:hover
{
background-image: url(../HoverImage.gif);
background-repeat : no-repeat;
text-align:center;
width: 100px;
}
/*--------- */

Note: Replace the "HoverImage.gif" with the image you require or replace the "background-image" property with "background-color" and "color" if you just want to change the text color.

In the html page the normal arrangement for the menu's with one level dropped down is :-

<li> <a class="MenuBarItemSubMenu" href="#">TopText
<ul>
<li> <a href="JumpTo.html">JumpToPage</a> </li>
</ul>
</li>

If you have no levels to drop down on this menu item, instead of the above five lines just add the following line:

<li> <a class="MenuBarItemSubMenu" href="TopJumpTo.html">TopText</a></li>

Replace "TopJumpTo.html" with the page you wish to jump to.

Hope this helps
