Spry Sliding Panels Question..

Hello,
I'm building a website and want to have a small image gallery page, with Spry Sliding Panels as the framework. Everything was working fine until I realized that in the browser, when I clicked the link to go the next panel, the actual web page itself automatically snaps back up to the top before the panel actually slides. I was wondering how to fix this because the gallery is about halfway down the page, and it looks stupid when the page jumps back up to the top each time. Thanks for your help...

Yes, your panel button code (with my change) should look like this:
         <div class="panelbtn"><a href="javascript:;" onclick="sp1.showFirstPanel(); return false;">1</a></div>
         <div class="panelbtn"><A href="javascript:;" onclick="sp1.showPanel(p2); return false;">2</a></div>
         <div class="panelbtn"><A href="javascript:;" onclick="sp1.showPanel(p3); return false;">3</a></div>
         <div class="panelbtn"><A href="javascript:;" onclick="sp1.showPanel(p4); return false;">4</a></div>
This is what I meant when I said to replace the # with the word javascript:;

  • Edit JS on spry sliding panels widget to fix auto panel height problem

    Hi guys,
    Ive been trying for a while to make the sliding panels widget
    show each panel in its own height instead of the longest panel's height in the container.
    I tried reading all the js file to play with it and find a solution but the truth is i dont know how to do what i want.
    I do, however, have a list of things that i believe if implemented should work,
    could you  help me do these fixes on the js? ( any one you know how to or think will work )
    1. edit so that:  Panels dont have any height ( or panel content display none ) if it isnt current panel. If current panel is "id:1" the assume class 1 style properties. As soon as it looses focus/"currentpanel" class it looses its class 1 properties. And the new current panel ("id:2") assumes its own class 2 properties. And so on.
    2. edit so that:  PanelContainer ( the one that holds all the panels ) displays none BUT the current panel. So all panels could be display none unless they assume the "currentpanel" class and so they change to display. Maybe this way the container assumes only the height of the displayed panel and looses it once its no longer displayed assuming the next displayed one.
    3. edit so that:  Panel container checks for current panel's height and assumes that height instantly ( there is still a panel inside the container that would be longer than the current panel, maybe with overflow hidden this isnt a problem )
    4. Using SpryDOMUtils.js I am currently playing with the code pasted below,
    the idea came from Gramp's Spry Sliding Panels Group Navigation Buttons cookbook
    He addresses a different problem, but since it has to do with identifying the current panel and doing something when the panel is x number, i thought there could be a height property set for each panel when each is the current one, atleast something can be done with this, my problem is i dont know how to set that something. Please check out the following code:
    <script>
    // The following function - setPanelNavigation() - assumes the following
    // 1. Sliding Panels have a class of SlidingPanelsContent AND a unique ID
    // 2. The Previous Panel button has an ID of previousPanel
    // 3. The Next Panel button has an ID of nextPanel
    // 4. SpryDOMUtils.js has been linked
    function setPanelNavigation() {
        var current = sp1.getCurrentPanel(); // Get the current panel
        var panelCount = sp1.getContentPanelsCount(); // Get the total number of panels
        var panelNumber=1; // Give a value to the first panel number
        Spry.$$(".SlidingPanelsContent").forEach(function(node) { // Cycle through the panels
                     if (node.id==current.id){ // The current panel now receives a number
               if ( panelNumber==1 ) Spry.$$(".SlidingPanelsContentGroup").setAttribute('height', 750); //
               if ( panelNumber==2 ) Spry.$$(".SlidingPanelsContentGroup").setAttribute('height', 250); //
            panelNumber++; // Go to next panel after incrementing the count
    Spry.Utils.addLoadListener(setPanelNavigation); // Set buttons to initial value
    var sp1 = new Spry.Widget.SlidingPanels("panelwidget");
    </script>
    What am i doing wrong in that bit ? I thought i had it there, but it didnt work.
    Anyone, please help. Thank you.

  • Spry Sliding Panel widget

    Okay, So I'm dense at times!
    I want to try and learn the Spry Sliding Panels.  Problem is that it does not appear in my Insert – Spry menu.  After reading at Labs it assumes that since I have DW CS4 that it is installed.  I can't be that dense.
    Yeah, I located the CSS and and JS files online at Adobe.  But that sure won't install it into my DW – Insert menu.
    Am I really that dense?

    To my knowledge it shouldn't appear in the insert menu?
    I did the below tutorial to learn all about sliding panels.
    The tutorial will show you how to link your js and css files to your html etc, which make the panels work.

  • Spry Sliding Panel - Timer

    I've been working on extending Spry's Sliding Panels to allow
    me to set a timer to auto advance to the next panel. Whilst I had
    success with a script that targeted a particular element (eg sp1)
    it really isn't terribly useful to have to recode per panel. So
    trying to extend instead. Problem is that I keep getting an error
    that says the advanceToNextPanel function doesn't exist. Hoping
    someone might be able to point me in the right direction. Code
    below:
    // Sliding Panel Timer
    // Based upon
    http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/demos/gallery/gallery.js
    and feedback within the Adobe Spry forum
    // Extend SlidingPanels to include additional data
    Spry.Widget.SlidingPanels.prototype.gPanelShowInterval =
    1000; // msecs between panels
    Spry.Widget.SlidingPanels.prototype.gPanelShowOn = false;
    Spry.Widget.SlidingPanels.prototype.gPanelShowTimer = null;
    Spry.Widget.SlidingPanels.prototype.gAutoStartPanelShow =
    true;
    Spry.Widget.SlidingPanels.prototype.addPanelShowTimer =
    function()
    if (this.gPanelShowInterval == undefined)
    this.gPanelShowInterval = 10000; // msecs between panels
    if (this.gAutoStartPanelShow)
    this.startPanelShow();
    // Kill any previous timer event
    Spry.Widget.SlidingPanels.prototype.killPanelShowTimer =
    function() {
    if (this.gPanelShowTimer)
    clearTimeout(this.gPanelShowTimer);
    this.gPanelShowTimer = null;
    // Display next sliding panel on rotational loop
    Spry.Widget.SlidingPanels.prototype.advanceToNextPanel =
    function() {
    var tPanels = this.getContentPanels().length - 1; // Total
    Panels
    var cPanel = this.getContentPanelIndex(this.currentPanel);
    // Index of currently displayed panel
    if (tPanels == cPanel)
    this.showFirstPanel(); // Return to the first panel
    else
    this.showNextPanel(); // Show the next sliding panel
    this.setPanelShowTimer();
    // Setup timer event to change to next panel
    Spry.Widget.SlidingPanels.prototype.setPanelShowTimer =
    function() {
    this.killPanelShowTimer(); // Kill any previous timer event
    this.gPanelShowTimer = setTimeout( function() {
    this.gPanelShowTimer = null; this.advanceToNextPanel(); },
    this.gPanelShowInterval);
    // Start the timed sliding panel
    Spry.Widget.SlidingPanels.prototype.startPanelShow =
    function() {
    this.gPanelShowOn = true;
    this.setPanelShowTimer();
    };

    My previously posted I'd fixed this but it is in fact not
    working.

  • Spry sliding panels with tab

    Maybe I'm missing something but I've been stuck on this for a
    long time. In one example of the spry sliding panel with tab there
    are <li> elements for the menu like this...
    <ul class="slidingTabPanel">
    <li><a href="#" id="about" class="tabActive"
    title="about"></a></li>
    <li><a href="#" id="contact" class="tab"
    title="contact"></a></li>
    </ul>
    and they should link to...
    <div id="aboutPanel" class="p1"></div>
    <div id="contactPanel" class="p2"></div>
    with contents in each of those DIV
    I just can't seem to get the buttons to do anything, how are
    the <li> calling the panels?

    Actually, I figured it out. I had to edit the sp_withTabs.js
    file with the IDs as well, that's whats calling the CSS class.
    My problem now is that everything is all good with 4 tabs,
    but when I try to add another tab, no matter what path I set for
    the background image state it always shows the image of the fourth
    tab and not a new image.

  • Spry Sliding Panel Widget Template

    I have inserted the Spry Tabs and Accordion widgets and
    adjusted using CSS. Can I do the same with a Spry Sliding Panel
    Widget?, if so where can I access a sliding panel widget to
    adjust?.
    I have found a tutorial to create a Spry Sliding Panel Widget
    inserting code, but my code experience is zero.
    Thanks

    Also copy the required Javascript file and CSS file to the
    correct location..
    in the <head></head> of the page u will see
    <script src=""> go to the location of the src.. copy and
    paste the files to your new location in the same folder, or change
    the src to match the new location of the file. Do the same for the
    CSS wich is included at the <link href=

  • SIFR 3 and Spry Sliding Panels

    I am having trouble combining spry sliding panels and sIFR 3
    r419 in firefox. Implementation works perfectly in IE6 & 7 but
    in FF3 the headings flicker as one panel slides out and as another
    slides in.
    I have tried adding sIFR.replace to onclick to combat this,
    as described in another post but to no avail.
    Does anyone have any suggestions?
    Many thanks

    Add a valid Document Type Declaration on your page. (DTD) and it should work smoothly.. You could have found this out if you would just validate your page. validator.w3.org.

  • Spry Sliding Panels & iFrames Issue

    NOTE: This was also posted in the Dreamweaver section
    http://www.ripplecommunications.com/75th/index.htm
    I'm having an issue with iFrames and their visibility within
    a Spry sliding panel. When the panel slides, the iFrame stays
    visible outside of the sliding panel container.
    Any ideas? You can see an example above, click on a date in
    the timeline. This seem to occur in Firefox. IE 7 is OK.
    2.0.0.11 on a PC. Below is a screenshot to the issue that I
    see.

    jim,
    I am working with sliding oanels in GoLive and trying to
    incorpoate iFrames as well. It seems to work (all manual coding of
    course) and i do not have problems with the visible issues. have
    you checked the
    &quot;slidingpanelsconent&quot;...&quot;overflow&quot;
    value in the css file, should be hidden.

    if u look at the code.. u will seee:

  • Sliding Panels Question

    Hi there. I'm new to Spry, and I'm using 1.6.1 in Dreamweaver CS3. I want to create sliding panels to showcase some work I've done, but I wanted to know if it's possible to build a scroll function for one panel which will have multiple pieces of work (not a scrollbar).
    There's not enough horizontal real estate to show all the work in this particular panel at once, so I want to put a "continue" or "next" and a "previous" button/function on that panel so the user can automatically view differents areas of the panel to see the rest of the related work, without creating a number of different panels for all this.
    Is this possible in the sliding panels widget, or is there just one pass per panel? I hope my question is clear.
    I'm trying to decide whether to build this in Spry or Flash.
    Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
    L

    I dug around a bit more and saw an example that shows me that I can do this. Thanks anyway!

    To the right of the sliding panels I have an image, and when

  • Spry Sliding Panels--how to get it to repeat at the end?

    I have a beautiful working Sliding Panels set up--you can see
    it at:
    http://www.traditional-building.com/index-anim.htm
    (Scroll down to "Browse the Product Gallery")(and no, I did not
    design this attrocious, table-riffic site!). My question is, when I
    get to the last panel, how do I get it to automatically start over
    at the first panel? I can't seem to figure this out...
    thanks!

    Hi Kin,
    ljlindhurst posted this http://forums.adobe.com/message/97681# back in April 2008 without a positive conclusion.  It looks like the same conundrum that I posted a couple of days ago http://forums.adobe.com/thread/851757  :
    “  Spry SlidingPanels
    By default, after the last panel has displayed The Spry slidingPanels Widget causes the panels to zoom backward (visibly) through all the panels to arrive back at the first panel (sp1) to start the cycle again !?
    Well I don't see any sliding panels on line that do that these days, thank goodness, they all transition (continue) from the last to the first panel without a break or “reverse zoom” !    So what am I missing?  “
    Your reply to ljlindhurst started with the following line:
         “Since none of the geniuses have answered your question, I'll give it a try. :-P “
    Well I appreciate your humor and greatly respect all the work you do on the forums, as I suspect many of us do.
    So could you please revisit this item and have a stab at the javascript or code that will make this needed action work.
    Thanks in anticipation.

  • Spry Sliding Panels not working in IE

    I've been working for about 12 hours straight on getting this
    working correctly - my Sliding Panels just aren't working at all in
    IE. The panels load properly - for example, you can see only the
    first loaded panel, not all of them - but when I click a link to
    switch to the next, nothing happens. Firebug is reporting no
    errors, and neither is IE. Here is the relevant code:
    <head><script type="text/javascript"
    src="SpryAssets/SprySlidingPanels.js"></script>
    <link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet"
    href="SpryAssets/SprySlidingPanels.css"></head>
    <div id="mainContent">
    <div id="panelwidget" class="SlidingPanels">
    <div class="SlidingPanelsContentGroup">
    <div class="SlidingPanelsContent" id="main">Main
    Content<br /><a href="images/news.png" rel="lytebox"
    title="Omgtest!"><img src="images/news.png"
    /></a><br /> <a href="javascript:void(0);"
    onclick="sp1.showPanel('series');">TEST</a></div>
    <div class="SlidingPanelsContent" id="series">Series
    and Models</div>
    <div class="SlidingPanelsContent" id="about">About and
    Bio</div>
    </div>
    </div>
    <script type="text/javascript">var sp1 = new
    Spry.Widget.SlidingPanels("panelwidget");</script>
    </div>
    The following might be somewhat related: I am using the
    Lytebox javascript library, which is a Lightbox clone (that doesn't
    use prototype), as well as a preloader for my mouseover nav bar,
    with this code:
    <script type="text/javascript">
    function init() {
    MM_preloadImages('images/menu/main_click-trans.png','images/menu/main_hover-trans.png','i mages/menu/series_click-trans.png',
    'images/menu/series_hover-trans.png','images/menu/about_click-trans.png','images/menu/abo ut_hover-trans.png');}
    </script>
    My nav bar links to the panels like this:
    onclick="MM_nbGroup('down','group1','Main','images/menu/main_click-trans.png',1);
    sp1.showPanel('main'); return false"
    However, a plaintext link inside of the first panel - "<a
    href="javascript:void(0);"
    onclick="sp1.showPanel('series');">TEST</a>" - does not
    work either.
    Just for fun I thought I would try adding min-height:0; zoom:
    1; to the CSS classes for slidingpanels.... no dice there as well.
    URL is
    www.goldensealdrums.com/wip
    Any ideas? I am at a complete loss. Thanks.

    Thanks for your help :] I ended up realizing that a huge
    bloated js navbar wasn't all that great of an idea anyway, so I
    scrapped it and used a CSS-based one instead...much cleaner and
    works better (no preloading! woohoo.) It looks like the problem was
    probably an amalgamation of many things, but it's resolved now.
