Change Accordion widget background colors

To change the background colors of different parts of an Accordion widget, use the following table to locate the

appropriate CSS rule, and then add or change background color properties and values:

Constrain the width of an accordion

By default, the Accordion widget expands to fill available space. You can constrain the width of an Accordion widget,
however, by setting a width property for the accordion container.

1

Locate the .Accordion CSS rule by opening up the SpryAccordion.css file. This is the rule that defines properties

for the main container element of the Accordion widget.

You can also locate the rule by selecting the Accordion widget, and looking in the CSS Styles panel (Window > CSS).
Make sure the panel is set to Current mode.

2

Add a width property and value to the rule, for example

width: 300px;

.

Working with the Menu Bar widget

About the Menu Bar widget

A Menu Bar widget is a set of navigational menu buttons that display submenus when a site visitor hovers over one
of the buttons. Menu Bars let you display a large amount of navigational information in a compact space, and also
give visitors to the site a sense of what is available on the site without having to browse it extensively.

Dreamweaver lets you insert two kinds of Menu Bar widgets: vertical and horizontal. The following example shows
a horizontal Menu Bar widget, with the third menu item expanded:
