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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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!

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.

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..
the site I'm working on: www.anhstudio.com/sample
if you have any suggestions on what javascripts I should use/work, let me know - thanks.

I have spent a lot of time on this, mainly because the problems crops up every now and again. Unfortunately it goes above my ancient head and I have only managed to come up with a very partial solution. In the following, I have taken all of the links to JS files and moved them down to the bottom of the document.

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.

Spry Accordion Panels view incorrect in IE8

I have a page set up using both spry menu and spry accordion panels. The problem is that in FireFox and Chrome, the pages view as they should. However, in IE, the panels on the accordion spread and are open, it doesn't view as it should. The test page is here www.sbcvote.us/index1.html the source code is below. My initial guess is that I have an open or not closed tag somewhere?

I appreciate any help here, it really doesn't make sense to me, it did work for a few viewing in IE and I must have changed something by mistake?
Thanks again.

I added a set width to the accordion css and that solved the problem of the widget running across the page. The IE issue appears to be an ongoing issue with IE. If a viewer has IE8, then hitting the compatibility button on the menu bar will solve the viewing problem. If not, it doesn't view correctly. It views fine on other browsers (Chrome, etc). Problem is how many people will know to hit the compatibility button?
Thank you for your help, I appreciate the time taken.

Accordion Panel not seen in browser. Before, yes.

Hi,
I've using the Accordion Pannel with several Tabs. It was working good on the browser. Now, after few weeks I started to work with some PHP. I am now working with a LOCAL server for trsting the PHP applications.
But I can not preview in the browser all the accordion panels I made. I saw only the plain text, images, flash, everything but not the Accordion Panels. On the contrary in the localhost server oln the top right of the browser says "READER", I click there and I can read the text content of the first tab only.
I changed the server from local to remote in order to upload my regular html pages with the accordion panels. I uploaded them and I don't see them too, even when I browse in the URL. What is happening here? The PHP is blocking something?
Here you have one of these pages:
http://www.magicperu.biz/paginascom/faq_sp.html
Below the titles should be the accordion panel with 8 tabs and text content in spanish. Can you see that? If not, what was wrong? In those html files I didn't put any PHP code. The PHP I am using only for the contact form and stuffs.
I use Mac OS 10.6.4, Dreamweaver CS5 with MAMP. Safari.
Thanks for your help.

Hi,
looking to the source code of your
http://www.magicperu.biz/paginascom/faq_sp.html
I can see your advices, indeed:
name="head">
<script src="../SpryAssets/SpryAccordion.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<link href="../SpryAssets/SpryAccordion.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
but I miss the consistent continuation, here (German DW):
<body>
<div id="Accordion1" class="Accordion" tabindex="0">
<div class="AccordionPanel">
    <div class="AccordionPanelTab">Bezeichnung 1</div>
    <div class="AccordionPanelContent">Inhalt 1</div>
</div>
<div class="AccordionPanel">
    <div class="AccordionPanelTab">Bezeichnung 2</div>
    <div class="AccordionPanelContent">Inhalt 2</div>
</div>
</div>
and especially this:
<script type="text/javascript">
var Accordion1 = new Spry.Widget.Accordion("Accordion1");
</script>
</body>
I suggest that you first try inserting Accordion Pannel into a very new *.html file to see what happens.

Prevent lower text from moving when accordion panels open

I tried out the Accordion Panel from Project Seven which is
really nice and works well. My only issue right now is that I would
like to prevent the rest of the text outside and below this widget
within the same column from moving. When any panel opens it causes
the contents of the entire column to shift down thus causing the
page to shift down as well.
I have tried using a new div for the content below the panels
and also a new table below but can't seem to figure out how to keep
the content from shifting. Curently I have a table cell nested and
have tried with CSS to keep it from moving but that is not working
either.
Thanks in advance for any help with this.
Here is the code for the column in question:

no takers on this one? Does anyone know how I could fix this
with divs? Is it possible to put this accordion into a separate div
and create another below it that would not move? Like on the new
apple site...They have some really awesome accordion style navs on
the sides that do not throw the rest of the page off when they open
or close.
Thanks.

Spry Accordion panels and Google search

Hello! I have about 30 pages with at least 15 spry accordion
panels on each. I've just implemented a local customized google
search and it looks like Google is able to pull pretty accurate
search on both the panels and panels content.
Once presented with the search results, can a user get to an
OPEN accordion panel, that relates to his search? I hope I've
explained it clearly, THanks!

Yes, this happens because all of the content is on the page.

I've seen some scripts that highlight Google search terms, so
I suppose that getting the search terms on the destination page is
possible, but making that leap to the proper panel to open may be a
little more difficult.
First you have to figure out which panel the words are
in,then you have to figure out what if the user is searching for
three terms and each of those terms is in a different panel, or if
only one term, and that term is in multiple panels? How would you
expect that work out?
You can highlight the words using code such as that discussed
on this page:
http://www.kryogenix.org/code/browser/searchhi/
I'd guess that someone could reverse that code that finds the
text and then take that find and then walk up the DOM tree to see
if you are within an accordion panel and then show that panel as
the default panel on the page.

Scrolling within Accordion panel

Hi, I have an Accordion panel with a lot of text within one of the panels. The panel is pinned and the text flows below the browser baseline when opened on smaller screen sizes. Would be great to have a mini scroll bar included as an option in future to get around this problem. Thanks!

Hi kundalani,
If you are using Spry.Utils.updateContent() to load the
contents of the panel, you can pass in a callback that sets the
height of the AccordionPanelContent to "auto" after the new content
has loaded:
function LoadContent(ele, url)
ele = Spry.$(ele);
Spry.Utils.updateContent(ele, url, function() {
ele.style.height = "auto"; });
<a href="#" onclick="LoadContent('e1p2',
'../../data/frag1.html'); return false;">Frag 1</a> |
<a href="#" onclick="LoadContent('e1p2',
'../../data/frag2.html'); return false;">Frag
2</a></p>
<p> </p>
<div id="example1" class="Accordion" tabindex="0">
<div class="AccordionPanel">
<div class="AccordionPanelTab">Panel 1
</div>
<div id="e1p1" class="AccordionPanelContent">
<p>Panel 1</p>
</div>
</div>
<div class="AccordionPanel">
<div class="AccordionPanelTab">Panel 2
</div>
<div id="e1p2" class="AccordionPanelContent">
<p>Panel 2</p>
</div>
</div>
<div class="AccordionPanel">
<div class="AccordionPanelTab">Panel 3
</div>
<div id="e1p3" class="AccordionPanelContent">
<p>Panel 3</p>
</div>
</div>
<div class="AccordionPanel">
<div class="AccordionPanelTab">Panel 4
</div>
<div id="e1p4" class="AccordionPanelContent">
<p>Panel 4</p>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<script type="text/javascript">
var example1 = new Spry.Widget.Accordion("example1", {
useFixedPanelHeights: false });
</script>
