different styles attaching to spry menu..

[rrmcguire]

Hello,

I have the following HTML adding with 2 horizontal spry Menus within a Navigation Div then 2 container divs each with a spry menu with them. My first Spry Menu id=MenuBar1 class=MenuBarHorizontal is created correctly with the appropriate styles..

I then want to create separate styles for id=MenuBar2 class=MenuBarHorizontal.

How do I go about doing this...I tried duplicating the styles in my CSS styles panel then renaming them but it didn't do anything. Any help would be appreciated.


Here is my current script:

<div id="navigation">
<div id="container2">
<ul id="MenuBar2" class="MenuBarHorizontal">
<li><a href="#">Item 1</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Item 2</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Item 3</a>
<li><a href="#">Item 4</a></li></ul>
</div container2>
<div id="container">
<ul id="MenuBar1" class="MenuBarHorizontal">
<li><a href="#">Home</a>
</li>
<li><a class="MenuBarItemSubmenu" href="#">Services</a>
<ul>
<li><a class="MenuBarItemHover" href="#">Flatbed</a></li>
<li><a class="MenuBarItemHover" href="#">Van</a></li>
<li><a class="MenuBarItemHover" href="#">Heavy Haul</a></li>
<li><a class="MenuBarItemHover" href="#">Global</a></li>
<li><a class="MenuBarItemHover" href="#">LTL</a></li>
<li><a class="MenuBarItemHover" href="#">Cross Border</a></li>
</ul>
<li><a href="#">Customers</a>
</li>
<li><a href="#">Logistics</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Agents</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Contractors</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Logistics</a></li></ul>
</div container>

</div navigation>

We'd need to see the CSS, but it should be possible. However, since Spry menu is done using javascript, it is possible that it applies certain styles on the fly. Those won't be so easy to change.

As an aside, </div container> is an incorrect notation and can confuse browsers.

As a further aside, do we really need three separate threads to deal with your Spry menu?

Sorry for the multiple threads. Got a little side-tracked and made changes since the beginning of some of the threads. Here is the CSS and I had read that you can change the styles to accomodate for a second spry menu. In my CSS below at the bottom I have what I believe should be written for my second menu to change one of the styles but nothing happens when I change any of the attributes of it
