spry menu or buy an extension?

[grlovelidge]

I've been working with the spry horizontal menu and its been pretty
frustrating. I've been defining the text, background color, text color, etc
for the menu but when I save and preview in browser its the same default gray
and blue. Really annoying. After that I looked around for menu extensions and
these seem to be much better (I'm used to working with menumachine on golive
which I realize I took for granted).

My Questions are : is spry really that much of a pain in the ass and do you
ahve any recommendations for getting around my problems with it? and do you
recommend any menu extensions for dreamweaver cs3 (specifically ones that allow
multicolored menus like I have here - cdstudies.com.

Thanks a lot

I have also found the spry extensions to be somewhat limiting or at least hard
to manipulate. I don't understand why your having problems with styling the
menus because that part has been very easy. I would check again to make sure
that you are styling it correctly because that is never a problem. As for
making a menu without spry, my friend informed me of
[url]http://www.dynamicdrive.com/[/url] Which has a whole bunch of free menus and links
that are very easy to jump into and edit in any concievable fashion.
