I don't know much about Spry Framework, but the navigation from your link looks like standard drop-down menu. You can easily recreate it in Drupal:

template.php:

function yourthemename_preprocess_page(&$vars, $hook) {
  // Add $navigation variable for printing drop-down menus
  if ($vars['primary_links']) {
    $pid = variable_get('menu_primary_links_source', 'primary-links');
    $tree = menu_tree($pid);
    $vars['navigation'] = $tree;
  } else {
    $vars['navigation'] = FALSE;
  }

page.tpl.php

  <?php if ($navigation): ?>
      <div id="navigation">
        <?php print $navigation; ?>
      </div> <!-- /#navigation -->
  <?php endif; ?>

Of course you will have to tweak stylesheets a bit, also make sure that you toggle "Show as expanded" option in menu settings.

I really have no idea why it doesn't work for you, I was using this snippet successfully in several themes.

But there is alternative solution: create custom "navigation" region and place menu block in it. This will give you almost the same markup.

Yes But it can't be managed by drupal admin it will be just a code when i want to change the menu items i have to edit the code and this is not good for me and the admins with me.

Primary links block is rendering menu that you can manage under /admin/build/menu-customize/primary-links, Secondary links block is rendering menu from /admin/build/menu-customize/secondary-links.
