Accordion Panel content area spacing

Is there a way to apply spacing between the accordion label and the content area below it? It seems that there is no way to separate them and the are flush together by default. I would like to add 20px of spacing between the label and the content below it.

Hi,
Please take a look to this screenshot
Are you referring to this space or did you mean something else.

Accordion Panel Content

Hi there, was wondering if anyone can tell me how to display
a .txt file as my content in the accordion panel content. my
accordion needs to hold up-to-date information that changes on a
daily basis so i need to link it to a different src file.
Thanks

Hello mousewhite,
Try using the HTML Panel see
Live
Docs Sampe and
Live
Docs Spry API.
If you want to use the Spry Data Set functions the you'll
need to format the text file in xml, csv, html or json before it
can be turned into row/column by Spry.

Dividing Spry Tabbed Panels content area into columns?

Hi there.
I am building a website and I want to divide the content area of a Spry Tabbed Panel into 3 columns for text.
How can I do this?
I thought about making divs inside the Panel but it would be too messy.
Please let me know if there is a simple way to do this.
Thanks in advance.

Skinned Panel Content Area Problem

I have instances of the Panel component that was skinned
using the Flex Skin Component Kit for Flash. The problem is that
the content areas of these panels occupy the entire panel area. An
unskinned panel has a content area that is within the panel's edges
and header. For my skinned panels, the content area extends to all
four edges of the panel (top, bottom, left, right). Any components
placed inside the panel goes beyond the usual white content area
and overlaps the header. How can I fix this content area size
problem? Please help. Thanks.

Can you use content area coordinates, or some manipulation of
the global, local, and content coordinates?

Placing an image in a tabbed panel content area, it shows up on all three panels

This is crazy. It should be so simple. But sometimes this happens to me. Like today.
I have many pages that use a simple tabbed panel feature with three tabs.
Each content area has a text frame and an image frame.
Sometimes when I try to place an image into the content area of the first tab, the image shows up on all three content areas. I have tried and tried placing the image, making very sure I am in the "content area" on not just on the page. But nevertheless, the image seems to be "stuck" on the page, in front of the accordian feature, and therefore showing on all three tabs.
How am I not targeting the placement of those images correctly? There just aren't that many options for me to screw up, it's a simple tabbed panel, that's all!
Help please.
Barbara

Are you using the latest version of Muse/Air?
The borders of the Content Area of a tab gets highlighted as soon as you drag over an element over it so it is very unlikely that something like this could happen. However, I believe it could be due to messed up Layers configuration as the only way I could reproduce this problem is through moving the image into a layer above a layer that contains the Tabbed panel or in case of just one layer, you might have the image at the very top.
Thanks,
Vinayak

Losing css changes on Panel each time the panel contents are destroyed

Hello Experts,
I have a Panel and all I want is I do not need the header in 2 Panels in my application. For that I have used the below line in onAfterRendering method in controller.
onAfterRendering: function() {
$('#oPanelDates-hdr').css({"background": "none"});
$('#oPanelAddRowSave-hdr').css({"background": "none"});
The 1st time the application loads, this looks perfectly fine. But as soon as I destroy the Panel content, I have the header back.
Which hook method do I use as I want this to be permanent despite navigation, or any changes made in the Panel.
I have tried the above piece in onBeforeShow() as well
Thanks & Regards,
Archana

You can use the addStyleClass method to set a custom style.
oPanel.addStyleClass("RemovePanel");
.RemovePanel .sapUiPanelHdr {
background: none;

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 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.

.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.

Accordian Panel content size

Hi,
I am using Accordian Panel in several pages. When I go to CSS styles paneland and change Accordion Panel content size/height to 600 for example, it changes all the Accordian panels throughout my site to 600.
Is there a simple way of changing each panel individually.Am I missing something very obvious. I am learning CSS but not quite there yet. Any help would be appreciated.
Michael

To start with, especially when you are a novice at CSS, do not alter the original Spry Style Sheets. You will thank me for this tip once you get into more complicated web sites.
To have variable panel heights use the following constructor
<script type="text/javascript">
var acc1 = new Spry.Widget.Accordion("Acc1", { useFixedPanelHeights: false });
</script>
If you want fixed heights per accordion then you have numerous options of which I will show one. Apply a unique ID to your accordion and style accordingly has follows.

Change text "link" color only in Spry Tab content area

I need to have multiple text link colors in my site for light
and dark background colors. The only regions in my site that have a
white background are in the Spry Tab Panel content area. I can't
figure out how to change the text color for text links in the spry
content only. I tried to add a:link ..etc... to the style sheet,
but it did not effect anything
(I also need to clean my style sheet (s). But that comes
next.
Here
is a Link to a Sample Page in my site
null

Here is the SpryTabbedPanels style sheet in my site. I can't
seem to figure out the changes I need to make to effect the content
area.
I tried to add the following (see .TabbedPanelsContentGroup
below)
a: link {
color: #0099CC;
text-decoration: none
a:active {
color: #99CC33;
text-decoration: none
a:visited {
color: #0099CC;
text-decoration: none
a:hover {
color: #99CC33;
text-decoration: underline

Form submit inside an accordion panel

Hi,
i have a form inside an accordion panel content. i would like
the submitted data to hit a php script for processing and then
refresh the accordion panel content with new data without
refreshing the page. This is the AJAX model and i was wondering if
it was possible with spry.
Thanks,
Dhimiter

Hi,
we have a function called updateContent that allows you to
change the initial data content for a html element.
You can add this function at onclick event to change the data
from the accordion panel with the new processed data.
To see an example of how this function works, please look at
this
sample
Hope this helps you,
Diana

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

Table expands outside of the content area in a tabbed panel - sometimes

I am using a tabbed panel to create several different views of a database. The system is working pretty well, the only problem I have is that the content for almost all of the tabbed panels extend beyond the right hand end of the content panel. The page is here www.mwlcraftshow.com/gordo.php and you'll see that when you select the "Declined" tab the data shows correctly within the content area, but if you select "Accepted" or "All vendors" the table extends beyond the content panel. I've reviewed the html and css and don't see any difference between the tab that works (Declined) and tabs that don't work (All vendors, Accepted).
I'd really appreciate someone pointing me in the right direction.
Thanks

I see that you are indicating td widths for your tables. If you don't try to dictate widths in tables AND reduce the size of your text, you will have better luck keeping the table on the panel. You might also consider making the live area for the TabbedPanels wider, as well (the whole widget). If you have a limited size monitor, you won't be able to do that.
The only size you should use on this table is for the table width itself: use 100%, and it will fill the TabbedPanel Content width-wise, and should force the columns to fit (if you take off their widths as I suggested above).
With tables, absolute width indicators seem only to be a "suggestion" as tables will automatically expand if the content is too much for the content cells. Applying a 100% width for the table as a whole should force the cells to expand down and not horizontally.

Spry Accordion 1.6.1 gains vert & hztl scrollbars in content area.

I've scratched my scalp raw. This page works fine in both Firefox and Chrome, but picks up vertical and horizontal scrollbars in the content area once open. Is this a known bug, or does it have something to do with the fact that I'm also using a Spry tabs inside the accordion content area? I'm using Spry 1.6.1 and Googling the issue turned up a few other people with the same problem. I've fiddled with the CSS overflow and height properties of the .AccordionPanelContent class, but to no avail. Please help!

I'm sorry, I did not complete the sentence correctly. The scrollbars appear in IE7. They're fine in Firefox, Chrome and IE8. Should I post html file and dependencies?
