Spry Tabbed Panel 2.0 Suggestions/Questions

I've been starting to play around with the Widget Browser on CS4 & CS5 and I am just noticing a few things that I think need to be looked at.
1. I am starting to understand your process for the UI (I actually never realized that was there at first, but with CS4 version I also have it makes it more obvious). Is there a plan before the final release to allow users to edit text/content within the tabs or panels within the GUI, or will that end up being done with DW only?
2. In the code view for the page, it is laid out with <h2> for the title and <p> for the tags. Wouldn't it make more sense to have the tabbed panels to be <div>'s as opposed to <p> for the sake that with divs, it can be essentially like creating a page within the tab. For instance, you can position elements within a div, add p tags as necessary. I'm just thinking if the tabbed panels will be used by users for more than just text this code should change to accomodate that. I do realize on live code it is being converted back to a <div>, just curious why it is the way it is.
3. Maybe I'm missing this somewhere but is there an option to set the default document type in the Widget Browser or within the import to CS5?

1)
I can't really answer that, so what I would suggest is posting that answer in the correct forums: http://forums.adobe.com/community/labs/widgetbrowser you might get more luck there with finding an answer to your question
I do share the same feelings about this issue, I think allot of users would still love to be able to configure the widgets through DW. But the issue is that the widget browser is based on the Open Ajax Metadata specification which does not include such functionality in to its specification.
Aleast, there is no way for developers to "tell" Dreamwaver which markup they should add to create a new panel or instance. While it would nice to have i doubt its techically possible at this point. But those are just my 2 cents =
2)
The tabbed panel supports of allot different markup. But they can only ship one markup with the Widget Browser. As you will see in the SpryTabbedPanels documentation you can specify the tabs and content panels manually by adding the CSS selector for those in to the constructor of the widget: http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/ui/samples/tabbedpanels2/SpryTabbedPanels2_sample1 .html
3)
There is no way to specify "default" settings for all widgets. As the developer of the widget decides the markup that ships with the widget. As for DW, you can specify the default document type through the preferences panel > new document > Default Document Type ?
While the responses of on these user to user forums by the Adobe product team members might seem minimal this does not mean they do not monitor the discussions that occure here. So it's always wise to speak you mind and let the community and product team know how you feel.

Simple (?) question about Spry tabbed panel

Hi, I'm a bit of a noob at DW and am wondering if there's any way to open a link from within a Spry tabbed panel, and have the content load in the same panel.
I would have thought this would be simple, or even default behavior, but every target I try opens a new browser window or just loads it over everything in the current window.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Spry tabbed panels, all content showing on one page, please help?

Hi there,
I'm developing a website for my friend and i'm using DW CS5 spry tabbed panels. Everything looks great in DW but when i load the page to the server all of the content shows as one page and i can't navigate through tabs.http://dndperspective.co.cc/
I'll give you the whole code, I am fairly experienced in html but have never used spry before, so it may be a silly mistake. Any Suggestions?

You called it: your links to the SpryAssets are linking to your hard drive, not to the files within the folder on the server.
Correct these links:
<script src="file:///C:/Users/work/Desktop/Sites/SpryAssets/SpryTabbedPanels.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<link href="file:///C:/Users/work/Desktop/Sites/SpryAssets/SpryTabbedPanels.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
And you should be good to go.

ps. If you run into more difficulties with the Spry Widgets, take your questions to the Dreamweaver Spry Forum http://forums.adobe.com/community/labs/spry, where they will get quicker attention.

Spry Tabbed Panels and Master/ Detail Page Set interraction

Hi,
I have created a feedback form and am using a Spry Tabbed Panel to allow users to review all responses to one question and then all responses to the next question in different tabs, there are 6 tabs in all. In each tab I have created a Master/ Detail Page set - well actually just the Master appears in the tab. This is working fine. I allow up to 20 responses to be shown on each tab, after which the user selects First/Previous/Next/Last. When they do this the screen refreshes and the tabbed panel display goes back to the default tab, clicking on the tab previously used correctly displays whichever of First/Previous/Next/Last the user selected. I'd like the display to remain on the user's current tab when they select First/Previous/Next/Last.
The page in question is here http://www.hollisterairshow.com/feedback-results2.php, then scroll about half way down the page and select one of the tabs.
Thanks.
Tony

Hi Tony,
Look at the following, blue coded is comment only, red coded is what has to be added to your existing code and orange coded is added by the SpryDataSet creator if done properly. Where the orange part starts, thats where you place your cursor when creating the dataset.

Spry Tabbed Panel 2.0 Problem

I have used the Spry Tabbed Panel 2.0 in DWCS5 and 6 html pages before without a problem. However, last week I tried to add a panel to an html page and while it works lovally in live view locally, I get errors that appear to be a path problem, but I cannot figure out the problem. You can view a plain html page with nothing but the Tabbed Panels 2.0 created with DWCS6 and see the errors at http://www.scotchplainsnj.gov/tabs.html
When the page loads it gives errors for each of the .js modules as it tries to load them. I have replicated this problem in CS5 and 6 in Windows 7. I also saw a comment in another forum where someone else was also experiencing the same problem and error sessages.
SpryPanelSet.js requires SpryWidjet.js
The prograns are in the default directories with no changes.
Any help would be appreciated.

Customizing Spry Tabbed Panels

I am trying to create my very first spry tabbed panel. I have
a 5 tab panel. Instead of plain text on a colored background, I
would like to have customized tabs with the text already on them,
along with a "on mouseover" version. I am actually using it as part
of my navigation.
My CSS skills are still young, but in studying the
sprytabbedpanels.css that dreamweaver automatically creates, it
appears that there are about 9 class properties all starting with
.tabbedpanels. It seems to be an all or nothing, so am I correct in
assuming that if I want to have each of my tabs to be "unique" that
I need to create 4 more "sets" of these classes? Are there just
specific ones that I would need?
I can't find anything online or in my dreamweaver bible to
help me make heads or tails. Any help or insight would be most
appreciated.
Bonnie

Hey Bonnie -
.TabbedPanelsContent is
the class for the content within the tab panel component. If you
want to change the color for each tab panel content for instance,
you could duplicate
.TabbedPanelsContent 5
times and add a background color to each class. I think the
suggestion you mentioned would create various styles for each tab
state. Is that really what you wanted? Just making sure I
understand the question. :)
.TabbedPanelsContent1 {
padding: 4px;
background-color: #FF0000;
.TabbedPanelsContent2 {
padding: 4px;
background-color: #999;
.TabbedPanelsContent3 {
padding: 4px;
background-color: #CCC;
.TabbedPanelsContent4 {
padding: 4px;
background-color: #CC9900;
.TabbedPanelsContent5 {
padding: 4px;
background-color: #CC9900;
}

How can I insert an existing ApDiv into a tab in the Spry Tabbed Panel?

I have 5 of them all containing nested Apdiv within nested ApDivs (a long storie ) that I would like to insert into 5 tabs in the Spry Tabbed Panel.
Please help.

"Hi Gramp,I realize I have made hard work for myself but I really don't know any better. I also realize now that taking on this project may have been a mistake :-)I taught myself how to use the design side of Dream Weaver. These five ApDivs were created in the content area of the spry tool and it worked fine. (yes a lot of work though)For the first time I looked at the code side. I wanted to try to bring a peace of code from another page for something unrelated and when it didn't work I took it out and without noticing, deleting a line from the Spry tool.Of course like a classic newbe I was working without a backup copy so here I am. Loosing hours of tedious work and on the verve of tears :-)I do have some questions though. My APDiv
What does "apDiv1" stands for and what does "My APDiv" stands for?Is the only thing I have to do is changing this line for my five ApDivs and paste it in the appropriate places in the code? Thanks again,Gilaad

Spry tabbed panels as menu system

Hi,
This is actually for Dreamweaver CS6.    What I'm trying to do is use spry tabbed panels as horizontal my menu system.    I want to have basically the functionality of the adobe.com menu system where the drop downs are tabbed and the content box size varies depending on the tab and the content box moves it's position relative to the tab that's selected.     I did manage to get the mouseover working so the tab's change according to which tab the mouse passes over.
My current problems are these:
I managed to change the content panel box size so it's not the same width as the full panel tab group however I cannot get it to move relative to which tab is selected, it just stays fixed in one location.
The content tabs are pushing the body of my page down instead of showing up over top of it which is obvioulsy not very condusive for a menu system.
I would like the default to show none of the panels until someone mouseover's one of the tab's and for the panels to dissapear when the mouse is not in the menu system.
For something similar to the adobe.com menu system am i using the right feature (it looks like tabbed panels to me) or should I be using a different spry feature, I would like to have text and an image in the content box under each tab just for overall effect.
I'm quite inexperienced with CSS and Javascripting and have basically gotten this far with trial and error modifying the CSS settings but I'm unable to modify the javascript on my own.
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!

Note - I agree with Nancy
As for your experiment, to prevent the "drop" reduce the spry CSS padding in line 76 selector from 21px to 18px.
.TabbedPanelsTab {
    -moz-user-select: none;
    background-color: #000000;
    border-color: #000000;
    border-left: 0 solid #000000;
    border-style: solid;
    border-width: 2px 0 0;
    cursor: pointer;
    float: left;
    font-family: "Myriad Pro";
    font-size: 1em;
    font-weight: normal;
    height: 15px;
    list-style: none outside none;
    margin: 0;
    padding: 4px 18px;
    position: relative;
    top: 0;
Don't use dummy text without normal length text with breaks

Spry tabbed panels - Different Hover Class for each tab

Already posted this in the general Dreamweaver section, but just realized there was a specific Spry section. So, my apologies for the repost.
I'm setting up spry tabbed panels, and I'm wanting to use an image for each tab, with the text already on it. I've figured this much out by creating a different class for each in the spry tabbed panel css.
However, I'd also like to have a second hover image for each tab. I'm having trouble figuring out how to set up separate classes for each tab's hover state.
Any help?
Thanks.

Just in case you did not notice the announce at the top of this forum's main page, I have copied it here.
Announcement: New to Spry, or the Spry forums?
Hide Details
Before you post a topic please verify that:
You are using the latest Spry files
The latest version of the Adobe Spry Framework is 1.6.1, this is the same version that ships with Dreamweaver CS4. If you use Dreamweaver CS3 (uses Spry 1.4), its wise to upgrade your files to the latest version. This can easily be done using the Spry Updater that can be found here.
Your question was not asked before
Using the search functionality on forums you can easily find out if your question has been answered before. While you are in search, you can specify the search locations. The Spry forum can be found under:
Adobe Labs > Spry Framework for Ajax
Yoru question can not be found in the existing documentation
Spry provides you with allot of documentation this can found on different locations. In the sidebar of this forum you can find a small summary of resources that will help you on your way.
If these options do not apply to your question, please be so kind to also supply the following information in your topic together with a clear description of your issue:
What browsers does this issue occure:
example: Internet Explorer 8 on Window 7 and Firefox 3.0 on Mac OSX
What version of Spry are using:
example: Spry 1.6.1 ( the version number can be found in license header of the .css and .js files )
What is the url of your website or page in issue:
example: http://www.example.com/page/in/issue.html
Step to reproduce the issue:
example: Scroll down till you find the header "help", there you will see a Spry Accordion. When you click on it it will not open or close.
So users can provide you with a better answer, without having to ask you for further details.

Having trouble with dreamweaver cs 6 spry tabbed panels, all content in each tab showes through like

Having trouble with dreamweaver cs 6 spry tabbed panels, all content in each tab showes through like it was all created on one page, plus mouse over doesnt work on them.
This started all of a sudden.
The entire website is a series of spry tabbed panels.
http://pacificlaser.com/const.html
if you click on General construction tab things work ok...
if you click on Machine control tab, mouse over doesnt work and all page content of each tab show through.
ive been looking for the answer for 4 months with no success.
Hope a fellow dreamwever-person can help
Thanks Rick

You called it: your links to the SpryAssets are linking to your hard drive, not to the files within the folder on the server.
Correct these links:
<script src="file:///C:/Users/work/Desktop/Sites/SpryAssets/SpryTabbedPanels.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<link href="file:///C:/Users/work/Desktop/Sites/SpryAssets/SpryTabbedPanels.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
And you should be good to go.

ps. If you run into more difficulties with the Spry Widgets, take your questions to the Dreamweaver Spry Forum http://forums.adobe.com/community/labs/spry, where they will get quicker attention.

Spry Tabbed Panels overwritting Flash drop down menu in IE

I am having an issue with Spry Tabbed Panels appearing above
a Flash drop down menu in IE6 & IE7 but it works fine in
Firefox. Would someone be able to educate me on what I can do to
fix this problem. The page that is exhibiting this problem is
http://us.shuttle.com/performance.aspx
I’ve tried adding “WMODE” to my flash menu,
also updated “SpryTabbedPanels.js to version 0.5 –
pre-release 1.6”, but neither way is
helping…….

Thank you very much for the suggestion. Yes, this is how I
tried:
.TabbedPanels {
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
float: left;
clear: none;
width: 100%;
z-index: 1000;
I’ve been tried setting Z-index to from 50 to 2000 in
attached css, but still not working.

Spry Tabbed Panels

When trying to insert a Spry Tabbed Panels I get a Java
Script error. It doesn't allow me to select the parent of the
Tabbed Panels for easy addition of additional panels. This has been
an ongoing problem. I've tried reloading DreamWeaver but that
didn't seem to help. Other Spry components work just fine. It's not
giving me a specific error just that it's JavaScript.
Suggestions?

I had this I closed the site that I was working on and
selected a different site tried to insert spry all ok.
went back to original site and bingo all ok
why that happened, dont have a clue but try it it may work
for you

Spry Tabbed Panels mangled by IE

I have struggled -- and failed -- to figure out why IE mangles my Spry Tabbed Panel code even though the same code is rendered perfectly by Firefox, Safari, and Dreamweaver's Live View. If you think you can help me out, please take a look at the affected web page:
www.mulinosultevere.com/panoramic_tab.htm
using Firefox and/or Safari and then look at it using IE. The source code, of course, is available for you to view. I would appreciate any suggestions as to how I can get IE to render the code as the other browsers do. I assume that the problem on IE has something to do with my effort to use the very long photo.since the web page snaps back into the proper position when the second tab panel is activated.
Only the web page provided currently uses Spry Tabbed Panels. The rest of the website is live using only rollover menus. I want to upgrade the website with tabbed panels, but they have to work properly in IE, of course.
Thanks for any help you can provide.
-- Bill

Thanks, Helpvid, but I don't think that is the problem. I already know that IE has to be "kicked" to start Javascript. However, if you look at my web page -- www.mulinosultevere.com/panorama_tab.htm -- you will see that IE is, in fact, recognizing the Javascript because the second tab panel is rendered correctly. My problem is with the first panel that has the very long photo. Apparently there is a problem with the Javascript/html code itself. I am still looking for a solution :-( .
Ciao!

Spry Tabbed Panels does not work as I want

Sorry, but this is an utter NOOB question.
I tried to use a Gooey ment on my page, but it does not work as intended.
Here it works OK: http://ppbm5.com/DB-PPBM5-2.php
Here it does not work: http://ppbm6.com/Planning.html
I assume it is related to the menu already on this page. Anyway, since this did not work, I tried to replace the Gooey menu with Spry Tabbed panels, but being an utter noob in this area, I have made some mistakes that the experts here can probably help solve easily. What happens:
It looks OK in DW:
Go to Live View and it still looks OK:
but then go to the actual page and it looks like this:
Why do the tabbed panels not display at the top of the page next to the vertical menu, like it does in DW?
Second question: How can I add text to each page/ tabbed panel, like here http://ppbm6.com/Planning.html

Spry Tabbed Panels 2.0 have a number of support files to make them run.

<script type='text/javascript' src='../Spry-UI-1.7/includes/SpryTabbedPanels2.js'></script>
<script type='text/javascript' src='../Spry-UI-1.7/includes/plugins/TabbedPanels2/SpryFadingPanelsPlugin.js'></script>
<script type='text/javascript' src='../Spry-UI-1.7/includes/plugins/TabbedPanels2/SpryTabbedPanelsKeyNavigationPlugin.js'></script>
<link type='text/css' href='../Spry-UI-1.7/css/TabbedPanels2/SpryTabbedPanels2.css' rel='stylesheet'/>
Below, I have a Spry demo page with 3 widgets on it. If you look at the source code, you'll see how the the various support files are organized.
Function code is near the bottom of the page.
http://alt-web.com/DEMOS/Spry-test.html
Second question: How can I add text to each page/ tabbed panel, like here http://ppbm6.com/Planning.html
Turn off CSS. View > Style Rendering > un-tick Display Styles. You'll see an unstyled HTML page in Design View. But this won't effect styles in Live View or Preview.
