Accordion Panel

I currently have 5 different category names in my Accordion
Panel, each with a varying number of items within those categories.
Is there a way of making a particular category panel stay open,
depending on the particular link item that has been clicked. For
example, if I click on "pendants" in the "Jewellery" category
panel, can I make the "Jewellery" category panel appear "opened"
when directed to the "pendants" page?
Thank you,
Caryl

i will join in on that question and add a question of my own
to the Accordion Panel..

Accordion Panel Widget - open and close speed.

Hello,
Is there any way to change the speed that an Accordion Panel Widget opens and closes?
I would like it to be slower than it is now.
For my project it would be more relaxed and graceful.
Thanks,
Chris.

HI Chris
With Accordion we cannot setup the speed as of now , but you can try out composition widget where we can define transition, auto play speed.
Thanks,

Globally open and close all accordion panels

Is there a way to globally open and close all accordion
panels? For example, it would be nice to have an "Expand all" and
"Collapse all" link at the top of the page, before the accordion,
that has this functionality.

Hi FM_n_DC,
Accordions can only ever have a single panel open. If you
want individual control over which panels are open you probably
want to use a CollapsiblePanelGroup. This sample shows how to open
all and close all of the panels of the CollapsiblePanelGroup:

Using text links to open accordion panel

How do I use text links (from the page's main menu) to
programatically open a particular panel.
here is the page:
http://debrankin.com/tee/SITEDESIGN/
for example: I want to click on "Resumes and Cover Letters"
in the left hand menu to open the first accordion panel (by the
same name). I have this set this page so that all panels are closed
initially.
i know i'm missing something because this obviously does not
work: i've looked for documentation and this issue is inadequately
addressed!

Not really. The problem is that you have attempted to create
a
JavaScript object called accordion1 before the accordion HTML
is even
loaded into the browser. Moreover, the script that
initializes the
accordion is already in your HTML where it should be (after
the
accordion), but it uses Accordion1, not accordion1
(JavaScript is
case-sensitive.
Remove this after your menu.
> <script type="text/javascript">
> var accordion1 = new
Spry.Widget.Accordion("Accordion1");
> </script>
Change the links in the menu to Accordion1.openPanel(0),
etc., and it
should work.

Anchor links to accordion panels not working properly across browsers

Hi everyone,
I need some help to figure out why my anchor links to specific accordion panels on another page are not working properly across browsers.
I have a Map page which has tooltips on mouseover on the site markers. 15 of the tooltips have "Click here for information" anchor links (although only 14 are currently linked) which, in theory, would take you to the Nurseries page where the specified accordion panel would be opened with the nursery entry appearing at the top of the new browser window.
Here are the links to the Map page and Nurseries page, respectively:
www.alegriadesignstudio.com/RFRI/map_v6.html
www.alegriadesignstudio.com/RFRI/nurseries_v6.html
I've tested the anchor links on IE, Firefox, Google Chrome, and Safari, and have received varying results. In most cases, the anchor links worked perfectly on two of the browsers, while on the other browsers, the correct accordion panel is opened but the nursery entry does not appear at the top of the new browser window. Anchor links using Safari and Google Chrome fared better (10 out of 14 links worked properly, and 8/14, respectively), whereas when using Firefox and IE, only 3 anchor links worked properly. The target audience for this website will be using IE and Firefox, so I would appreciate any help to figure out how to tweak the code so that the most, if not all, anchor links work properly on these two browsers in particular.
Here's an anchor link which worked perfectly in IE, GC, and Safari, but in FF, the entry did not appear at the top of the new browser window.
www.alegriadesignstudio.com/RFRI/nurseries_v6.html?luzon=9#mangatarem
http://www.alegriadesignstudio.com/RFRI/nurseries_v6.html?luzon=9#mangatarem [To access the anchor link on the Map page, mouseover the third green dot from the top of the map (Tooltip--Location: Mangatarem) and then click on "Click here for information."]
Here's a sample anchor link in which the entry did not appear at the top of the new browser window in any of the 4 browsers:
www.alegriadesignstudio.com/RFRI/nurseries_v6.html?mindanao=4#magpetAmabel
http://http://www.alegriadesignstudio.com/RFRI/nurseries_v6.html?mindanao=4#magpetAmabel [To access the anchor link on the Map page, go to "Mindanao" at the bottom of the map and mouseover the fourth green dot below the word "Mindanao" (Tooltip--LOCATION: Brgys. Amabel, Bongolanon, Imamaling, & Manobisa; Magpet; North Cotabato) and then click on "Click here for information."]
Here's a sample anchor link in which the anchor link worked properly in GC and Safari, but the entry didn't appear at the top of the browser window in IE and FF:
www.alegriadesignstudio.com/RFRI/nurseries_v6.html?visayas=1#bilar
http://http://www.alegriadesignstudio.com/RFRI/nurseries_v6.html?visayas=1#bilar [To access the anchor link on the Map page, go to the small island north and a bit west of "Mindanao" which is called "Bohol" and mouseover the fourth green dot below the word "Mindanao" (Tooltip--LOCATION: Bilar; Bohol) and then click on the first "Click here for information."]
Many thanks in advance for your assistance!

Slideshow Image Order of Go AND Problem with Sizing an Accordion Panel

SLIDESHOW Is there a way to set the start, middle, and end in a slideshow? I have tried arranging the position of the triggers (nothing happened); and moving the targets in the layers panel (again, nothing happened). I would like the slideshow to begin and end with specific slides.
ACCORDION PANEL Will not allow me to size it smaller than 962 pixels. The content area of the accordion panel is filled with one slide show per panel or tab, and I've checked all of the elements within the slideshow to make sure nothing exceeds 960 pixels. Nothing I can find exceeds 960 pixels, but when I remove all the elements from the content area, BOOM, I can make the panel any width I want.

Slide show sorting:
No, Mylenium, you are definitly wrong, You can choose any image order you want within slideshows:
1. Make thumbnail temporarily visible and drag the thumnail to the position you want.
or
2. Identify the slides in layers panel and drag their panel entries to the position you want.
Accordion panel:
You can choose whatever size you want – even with a slideshow within:
You have to make sure, that all element of the slideshow (caption, prev, next, counter) fit within the accordion panel. And – since the single accordeon panels don’t allow individual sizes – you have to make sure, that the content of every(!) accordeon panel does not exceed the size you want.

How do I collapse all the accordion panels

The problem that I still have is that I am trying to close all the Accordions when clicking on the last panel.
I have looked at the Accordion.closePanel() , but that throws an error
http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/articles/data_api/apis/accordi on.html
here is a link to the page http://www.antworks.co.uk/mobymemory/menu.html
see the code below. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Just so that you know for the next time, when you give us a URL, there is no need to post your code. This is by far the most preferred method for obtaining our assistance.
Having said that, place the fillowing in the HEAD section of your document, ensuring that you do have the file in that location
<script src="SpryAssets/SpryDOMUtils.js"></script>
Then, near the bottom of the page within the same SCRIPT content as your constructor(s), place the following code
Spry.$$(".AccordionPanelBot").addEventListener("click", function(){
Accordion1.closePanel();
The Spry Element Selector (Spry.$$) requires SpryDOMUtils.js. Here we place an event listener to your last tab with a class name of AccordionPanelBot, which when clicked will close the currently open panel(s).
I hope this helps.

Accordion Panels not collapsing in Adobe AIR

Hi,
I'm trying to create an AIR application with HTML/CSS/AJAX (spry).
I've got my xml dataset set up and my accordion panel widget set up.
When I preview in Safari everything works fine, but when I preview in Adobe AIR the xml data shows up and the panels, but the accordion panels aren't working, clicking on the AccordionPanelTab doesn't do anything.
Any ideas on how to fix this, (if it is even possible)??

Accordion Panels and List Menu don't work if I place html files in subfolders

Hi all,
Switched from Dreamweaver to Muse and I have very limited knowledge of code.
Not an IT expert and not a web developer this is just for my own site.
I have sub-folders in my site. All html files are inside sub-folders except index.
ie contact.html or products.html I move them manually from root to the subfolder, using the easy interface of Dreamweaver. I call the subfolder "en"
so I can have pages such as mysite.com/en/contact.html
In the subfolder I copy and paste from root the css, images and script folders,
keeping the original css/images/scripts as well, in the root, so index.html is not affected.
and same time the look of the html pages inside the subfolders does not change.
BUT
list menus and accordion panels don't work. I click and there is no movement
How can I solve this ? I know Muse does not allow the creation of subfolders,
everything is uploaded in the root.
When in Dreamweaver I had placed 50 pages in subfolders and I was indexing them in google and bing.
Now can't again put 50 pages in root and can't remove URLs and make new indexing for all these pages
Any help ? many thanks for any assistance.

Is the Accordion Panel Capable of Holding a Gallery (with multiple pages)?

I'm trying to create a website similar to this: http://www.christianschmidt.com/ using the Accordion Panel. Can the panel's content panel hold javascript? I've tried several types of javascript based galleries and nothing seems to work correctly..

I have spent a lot of time on this, mainly because the problems crops up every now and again.

If you click the first tab first, you will see it working. Alas, if you happen to click any other tab first, it will not work.

Accordion Panel problem in IE

Using DW8 - and Interakt Ajax tookit, I have an Ajax panel
that contains the Spry Accordion. I have tried EVERYTHING, and
although it works perfectly in Firefox, the panels open slightly as
soon as you mouse over or open any of them. I have tried editing
everything I can think of in the code, the CSS and even editing in
doc type in the panel page.... but it still does it....just
slightly. Also...I can only use fixed height... becuase if I use
the auto-height... it slides up sluggishly, but ONLY if there is a
LOT of content. I am pulling my hair out.
I figured the only people who can help me at this point have
to live in Romania.... if any are watching this post... please
help!!!
Thanks guys, and gals.

Here is the CSS for that area: I tried setting margins in
every state just as an experiment? Maybe I need to use the

.js update of spry accordion panel tab data for countdown functionality

Hi,
First off I must say I really love the work done on CS3 and
the Spry Framework - loads of examples and nicely implemented!
Questions in a nutshell:
Can I change spry generated data on the fly so I can run a
.js counter function to dynamically update accordion panel data?
What event do I look for to fire a .js init function to see my new
spry widget (onPostLoad isn't working for me, but I'm a newbie!)?
* spry accordion
* {expire} dataset data is SQL DATETIME
* js countdown function CD_Init() searches DOM for specific
element IDs 'countdownN' and uses innerHTML to update counter at
specific interval
* observer onPostLoad seems to be calling CD_Init before
accordion DOM is loaded.
Verbose questions:
I am trying to tweek the output of a Spry Acoordion and
wanted to add a third party js counter to my accordion panel tab
and am having a bit of difficulty. The js code uses an innerHTML
statement to keep the counter going and supports multiple counters
(which I need to use one counter per tab). I build the multiple
counter id from the ds_RowID field which is where the parent div
element where the js changes the innerHTML. Can I do this? The .js
searches for elements w/ an ID of "countdownN", N = instance # and
a date format of '2007-09-08 00:00:00 GMT+00:00' and updates the
div's text with the countdown time. My {expire} record below is an
SQL DATETIME which is the correct format for this countdown.js
function (with the GMT-05:00 appended).
The relavant code is:
<div id="specialDisplay" spry:region="dsSpecials">
<h3>Click on a special below from our <em>LIVE
FEED</em> to see all the up-to-the-moment
exciting packages available!</h3>
<div id="AccordionSpecials" class="Accordion">
<div class="AccordionPanel" spry:repeat="dsSpecials">
<div class="AccordionPanelTab"
onclick="dsSpecials.setCurrentRowNumber('{dsSpecials::ds_RowID}')"
spry:hover="AccordionPanelLabelHover"><?php echo '<div
id="countdown' .'{ds_RowID}'. '">';?>{expire}
GMT-05:00</div>{dsSpecials::name}</div> 
<div class="AccordionPanelContent">
<div spry:state="loading"><img
src="./i/ajax-loader.gif"/></div> 
<div spry:state="error"><span spry:content="Error
loading data..."></span></div> 
<div id="details" spry:state="ready"
spry:content="{detail}"></div> 
</div> 
</div> 
<script type="text/javascript">

</script>
</div> 
</div> 
I got the nice countdown.js script from
http://andrewu.co.uk/clj/countdown/
which allows N # of counters/page. I have updated this code to
start checking for a zero based index that I generate utilizing the
spry ds_RowID.
I have added an observer to run the countdown's
initialization function (to hopefully find all the "countdownN"
element instances) under my dataset declarations:
var observer = { onPostUpdate: function(notifier, data) {
CD_Init() ; } };
Spry.Data.Region.addObserver("AccordionSpecials", observer);
Also tried to add the observer to a div surrounding the
according w/ the "spry:region" specified.
But, alas, I see the correct expire instance in my tab, but
it looks like the counter is only firing before the actual data is
loaded (i.e. I used FF's webdeveloper and set a break on the
CD_Init function and it's breaking before the actual accordion is
there - I see the dataset placeholders in my window for the
accordion. When I continue, the accordion is generated, but my
countdown isn't working because it looks to be firing before the
DOM is updated w/ the accordion elements.
Sorry for the long speil; I'm really a .js neophyte and just
starting w/ spry - so I'm not even sure if I can/should change the
HTML generated from spry. If not, is there anyway that I can have a
countdown timer for each accordion's tab panel's associated
{expire} data field? Any ideas and suggestions are greatly
appreciated!!
Thank you also for this forum - some great gems for
development here!

Sorry - the previous post is way too long.
Is it possible to tie in a javascript update function (a
counter update) to an element generated by a spry widget (a dataset
value that generates spry accordion tab text) so that the accordion
tab gets updated by the javascript function running under a
setinterval?
I've tried firing the javascript init function with an
observer on the accordion's onPostUpdate event, but it's getting
fired before the spry data is loaded. Is this something that's
possible? Sorry for my lack of javascript expertise! Relying on the
real experts here!
Thanks for any advice/pointers.

Accordion panel not working correctly in IE6

Hi,
I created a page with an accordion panel set that worked fine
in FireFox. The panels start closed and then open when clicked
upon.
This works fine in IE 7 but when I open this page in IE6, the
panel tabs do not function properly. The top five do not have the
background color or any delineating lines - there is just the text
of the panel tab. When the tabs are clicked on, they will open but
the colors change oddly. Sometimes there is a small horizontal
section of no color at the bottom of the panel tab color. When the
cursor is moved around the page, the tabs can change
colors....sometimes. Other times a tab will lose color completely.
And yet, it works perfectly in Firefox. What could be causing
this problem. I was so happy that I had finally completed this page
since there was a lot of dynamic data to link to the page - and now
I feel like I am back at square one.
Please help!
Thanks

I atually figured it out - well I got it to work right but
I'm still not sure why it works. I had the accordion panel in a div
wrapper. The positioning was set to "relative". When I commented
out that line, it worked fine in IE6! I'm not sure why - but I'm
glad it did!

Adding dynamic content to accordion panels

Hello,
and thank you in advance for any help.
I need to make a new web page for my girlfriend. She's a
photographer which means she needs to update her page pretty often.
The usual small systems however were way too complicated for her.
After seeing Spry, I decided to use it, along with Relay
which gives an easy option for updating content. So here's my plan:
- I install Relay so she has sort of a back-end to update her
pictures.
- I have a php script which reads out the directories and
makes an xml file to use with spry.
However I find it very difficult to understand how I should
use this xml file. Additionally, she wants to have the accordion
panels, so I have to put the code (probably the same code with only
a different xml filename for each directory) into every panel.
Could anybody help me with that? Please note that I haven't
started anything yet and am right now trying stuff locally.
Thank you again.
Mete

Hello again,
I'll try to describe the case once again, this time more
clearly:
- I will install Relay onmy server to enable uploading
pictures. Relay stores the upload pictures in different directories
which are created by the user and the path to each directory is
known.
- A PHP-Script reads out the content of these directories
(names, paths etc) and gives a list as an XML-File.
What I want to do is:
Make an HTML-Page and use Spry Accordion Panels in it.
Let's say I have 5 panels. Each panel (in itself) shall use
the XML-file (one file per directory) to display the pictures. The
styling will be made by using the CSS.
My problem is:
I just can not figure out how to use the regions etc in Spry.
I have to admit that so easy it is to use, it 's also pretty
difficult to understand the logic behind it for non-skilled users
(especially for those who do not have Dreamweaver etc). I can't
find the answers to my questions like: Why do the datasets get the
prefix "dsXXXX"?
I only want to read the XML-File and display these pictures
in an Accordion Panel without floating, which means it has to
scroll left and right.
I hope this makes it easier to understand :)
Thank you once again!
Mete

Problem with Accordion Panels

Hi
I have an issue with Accordion Panels.
http://characteraday.businesscatalyst.com/guided.html
You can see in the link above that I have Accordion Panels on the right side that say open/close tip. The first one open and close and displays the tip. All the others do the same but when they open then push the one under it down. The first one does not do this and I like this a lot better. Any ideas how to make them all work the way the first one "Enter the Character's name" works.
Thanks for your time.

Modify the following line by adding the mark-up coloured red.
<div class="AccordionPanelContent"><span class="CollapsiblePanelContent"><img src="productimages/tinyimages/doorkitseat.jpg" width="50" height="50">The <strong>Door Insert Kit</strong> is a bathtub conversion kit. By removing a portion of the bathtub wall and inserting a door, an existing bathtub becomes accessible, retaining its use a a bathtub. <em><a href="doorkitandseat.html"><strong>More</strong></a></em></span></div>
I hope this helps.

Trouble with accordion panel

I'm trying to put an accordion panel in a page of the website i'm creating but i've a weird problem.
First of all, this is the link of the page
http://wwwipiniriolotermeit01.businesscatalyst.com/menù.html
As you can see, when i choose one of the option of the panel, the background begin to shake.
Of course i've tried with other panels, included muse's widget but the results is the same.
Can someone help me to resolve this issue?
Thanks in advance.

Thank you very much again.
Last time i've uncheck only the element of the master page's footer not the
entire "menu" page from the menù.
Now, as you say, the jittering is disappear.
Regards
Luca
