Default Spry Menus Using XML - 03-27-2009 , 02:03 AM






In DW CS4, I understand how to use Spry to create vertical/horizontal menus,
and I undertand how to create a Spry XML dataset. What isn't obvious to me
though, nor have I been able to find any documentation on this subject, is how
to combine the two to create a Spry menu using an XML dataset (something as
simple as containing link text and link URLs).

Is there documentation or a tutorial somewhere?

Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

Bumping this since it somehow got to page 4 with no replies. Hoping that someone, somewhere, knows how to use Spry XML data in a Spry navigation menu.

Is http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/samples/menubar/MenuFromNestedData.html what you're looking for?

Hope that helps!

Yes, helps quite a bit. Does Spry and an XML dataset work with additional
menu layers, such as a 3 level deep meenu/xml structure?

I ask because this looks mighty familiar, and I'm thinking I spent a couple of
days playing with this in CS3 and a third menu layer couldn't be done. Just
want to make sure it is possible so I don't spend another few days trying to
get the impossible to work.

Thanks in advance!

Ah, yes, the frustrations are starting to come back to me.

I started with a simple XML structure, but so far isn't working. It took a
couple of hours, but I realized your Spry 1.4 XML example calls an additional
file: SpryNestedXMLDataSet.js.

I have searched my computer for this file, for a Spry directory, Googled for
the file, etc. Where do I get a copy of this file for Spry 1.6.x?
