Create a Menu Using Spry

S

pry is an Ajax framework from Adobe. Unlike many other frameworks, Spry focuses mostly on

visual components and effects, although it does have the ability to read and interpret XML

and HTML data files. You can use Spry with almost no code if you use Dreamweaver, because Spry

functionality is included directly in the program. However, Adobe does make the Spry framework

openly available for anyone to download and use if desired. One of the commonly used Spry widgets

is its Menu Bar, which creates an interactive menu with flyout submenus.
