  • Problem with Spry Horizontal Menu alignment in all browsers

    Posted by Jodie Hucker on August 29, 2012 at 11:41 am

    Hello, I am new to web design and have only been using dreamweaver a short time, I am building my first website and I have a problem with the horizontal spry menu. While in dreamweaver the Spry menu looks centered, but in all browsers it keeps aligning the menu to the right or left. I wonder if anyone can tell me what is going on from the spry menu coding below:
