Accordion spry

Is there a way to make it so that when you go to the accordion spry, all the tabs are closed initally. Currently, when I go to the accordion spry, the first tab is open and all the rest are closed.

@Sudarshan,
On a sidenote, Spry has been deprecated and is no longer officially supported or actively developed by Adobe
Isn't it a sad situation? The current version of DW is CS6. This version supports Spry. It has been purchased - and is still being purchased - in good faith. It is not until a DW user is confronted with a Spry problem, that he/she finds out that Spry is no longer supported.
Compare that with buying a new car and, as you drive out of the showroom, being told that the warranty has run out by saying "we do not support this model anymore".
Something is very wrong here.

Accordion Spry is defaulting to all tabs open. What's wrong?

Hi,
I had my accordion spry working perfectly a week ago. Then, I tried to add another panel at the top, and all of a sudden all tabs default open. I'd like them to go back to all being closed on default. I've been over my coding again and again for a week and can't figure out what I did wrong. I can get the first panel to close on default by changing the default panel to -1, but that only makes the other panels look odd for being open. Here's my code shortened to the important parts:
<div id="Accordion1" class="Accordion" tabindex="0">

        <div class="AccordionPanelContent">

(rest of content + 5 more tabs)
</div><script type="text/javascript">

Can anyone help me figure this puzzle out? Thank you.

No, it can't. The closing tag of a paragraph is optional. The reason it's triggering an error in the W3C validator is because an XHTML doctype is being used. Many of the other "errors" are caused by the JavaScript being read by the validator as though it were HTML.
However, you're right about unclosed tags. The problem with the accordion is being cause by incorrectly nested divs.
This is how the content div should look:

The unclosed paragraph tags should also be fixed, but what's causing the problem with the accordion is incorrectly nested divs.

Accordion Spry Widget default loading behaviour

Am using the accordion spry widget to display some
spring/summer courses and
I need all panels closed when the page first loads. I've
tried to find the
relevant code, but have not been successful in changing it to
make this
work. If I change the behaviour of the 'this.defaultPanel'
the whole
accordion stops working. How can I change the accordion
behaviour to have
all panels closed at page load?
Thanks for any help.
Marianne

Hello! I have been reading up on this and playing around with
the code for a few hours now and I can't seem to make it work.
Basically I would like to have the accordion load collapsed, and
get rid of the fixed height. Any clue what I'm missing?
Thanks!

Accordion Spry panel sizes

CS3 Accordion spry (can't see version in html) and I want to
make 1 of the panels a different size that the others. I have
already used the useFixedPanelHeights: false, defaultPanel: -1, so
they all close. I have text in the first panel and want to set the
height just to fit the size?

Hi,
to find out which Spry version do you have, open the
SpryAccordion.css file or the SpryAccordion.js file and look at the
beginning of these files. You should see there the Spry pre-release
version.
You probably have Spry 1.4 because this behavior works only
on spry 1.5.
An working sample you can find
here.

Accordion Spry problem

The issue is basically this:
I have an accordion (Spry). Let's say I click an element on
it, shifting it. Now if that element was also a link, it will load
a new page. Unfortunately, it also resets the accordion to default
state, totally nullifying any semblance of "flow" between the
pages.
How can I fix this?

Nested accordion spry

Can someone please give me some direction as to how to do a nested accordion spry with different tabbed panel widths? Thanks

Never seen that done with an accordion. Why would you want different widths? Not sure what you mean by "nested" as well. I've placed accordions inside sidebars, inside Spry tabbed panels, and even in another accordion. You simply have to make a few CSS changes so it doesn't conflict with other Spry elements (change IDs).

Accordion Spry default all panels closed

How do I setup the Accordion Spry to have all panels closed
when my page initially loads? I don't want any of the panels to be
set as the default opened panel and for the browser to select the
panel they want open first.

I have installed Spry 1.6.1.
Here is my code:
var Accordion1 = new Spry.Widget.Accordion("Accordion1",{
defaultpanel: -1 });
Still opens the first panel upon loading my page with the
Accordion spry. There must be something else to be
configured?

Nested Accordion Spry problem

What I am trying to accomplish is fairly simple, but I'm not seeing what the problem is. I have a nested accordion spry that, for all intents and purposes, is working fairly well. There's a weird problem with some of them not collapsing, but I can live with that. What I'm trying to do is put a checkmark beside any pages in the index that the student has viewed.
I'm setting up an array called yesPages here:
var yesPages = Spry.$$("yesPages");
What I want to happen is that it will hold an array of all the pages in my XML file that the student has already viewed. A bookmark, basically. To start it out, I place the first page in the array like so:
yesPages="10000";
That way, when the student starts the lesson, they've already seen the first page. As they progress through the course, I have a function called clickNext that will add to the yesPages array in this for loop:
for (var w=0;w<lessonStatus.length;w++)
if (lessonStatus[w]=="Yes")
   yesPages=yesPages + "," + rowsPage[w]["@pageNo"];
   alert(yesPages);
I put the alert in there to ensure that the yesPages array is building properly--it does. When the student clicks on next, I get an alert that says "1000,1001" and so on and so forth, each time adding whatever page they're on to the end of the array. Oh, and it also will sort them appropriately, too. That way, if the student jumps around in the index, the array is still sorted numerically like so: "1000, 1001, 2020, 3001, 3002, 4000."
Here's my accordion code:
   <div spry:region="courseData topicList pageLister topicData">
   <div id="Accordion1" class="Accordion" tabindex="0">
     <div spry:repeat="courseData" class="AccordionPanel">
        <div class="AccordionPanelTab">{lessonTitle}</div>
        <div class="AccordionPanelContent">
             <div spry:repeat="topicList">
    <div id="{lessonTitle}" class="Accordion" tabindex="0">
      <div class="AccordionPanel">
        <div class="AccordionPanelTab">   {topicList::topicTitle}</div>
         <div class="AccordionPanelContent">
                      <div spry:repeat="pageLister">
                             <div spry:choose="spry:choose">
                                  <div spry:when="'yesPages.search({@pageNo})' != '-1'">√ {pageLister::pageTitler}</div>
                                   <div spry:when="'yesPages.search({@pageNo})' == '-1'">  {pageLister::pageTitler}</div>
                             </div>
                      </div>
          </div>
        </div>
    </div>
                      <script type="text/javascript">
                            var Accordion2 = new Spry.Widget.Accordion("{lessonTitle}",{ useFixedPanelHeights: false });
                      </script>
             </div>
        </div>
     </div>
   </div>
            <script type="text/javascript">
                  var Accordion1 = new Spry.Widget.Accordion("Accordion1",{ useFixedPanelHeights: false });
            </script>
</div>
Not sure if I copied all the </div>s to here or not, but they're all there in my code. Anyway, courseData, topicList, pageData, and topicData are all datasets. topicList and pageLister are nested datasets within courseData and topicData respectively. {@pageNo} is the page number in my XML. What I'm trying to do with the .search of the pageNo is to ensure that that page number exists within the yesPages array. If it does, put the checkmark beside it. Otherwise, leave it unchecked.
What I'm getting instead is a full list of all the pages, and they are all checkmarked. If I put a quick alert in there of yesPages, I get only the pages that they've seen. So, this doesn't make sense as to why it's not behaving correctly.
Anyone have an idea?

Well, we're on the right track. By changing Accordion2 to {lessonTitle}, it now allows me to accordion the first topic of each lesson. However, the subsequent topics of each lesson still won't accordion. This is so weird. You would think that if one would do it, all of them would.

How do I make my accordion spry not "jump" or "hiccup" in IE??

Ok, sorry you guys, I'm a newbie.
It seems that no matter what I do, I can't get the accordion to co-operate with Internet Explorer. It has always jumped when tabs are clicked and then settles down. It's rather irritating and I would like to fix it. I've run out of things to try. Can anyone help?
In addition, with attempts to make keep the accordion and background centered I used a div with the position centered, which worked, but only in FF and Chrome. In IE it stays far left. When I had it in a table, I could set a left: px in the class, but never figured out how to center it with a table so it would change position based on the monitor resolution. If there's a better way to do this that IE and other browsers like, please help me. If it's just IE that has the problem is there any way to make it like my code?
If you can help me change the height of the accordion, that would be great. It seems it doesn't want to stretch out, but maybe I'm writing it in the wrong section or the wrong way.
Another minor issue is the IE not doing the transparency I set on the tabs. I heard that they took that feature out. Is that true or is there a way to set it for IE?
Here's what I have so far:

I, through time gained a natrual feel for detecting prolblem areas in the muscle and I learned what pressure is appropriate. </p>
               <p>I took my training in 2006 at the Alberta Insitute of Massage for six months to earn a certificate for a 1100 hour program. Though short, it was intensive in the anatomy and physiology portion and very hands-on in the massage classes. It was my privilege to learn from three instructors who had more than 10 years experience as massage therapists and many years teaching it.</p>
               <p>Since my training, I have had the opporutinty to work as a massage therapist for 3 years. I have treated people from all walks of life for countless ailments and injuries. It is my pleasure to do my utmost to see to it that each paitent recieves the treament they deserve and expect.</p>

You would make this a little easier if you posted a link to the page.
Most of the jump seems to be some extra padding or margin between the tabs when you rollover, but I am not able to find it. Is there any other css that is governing this page? I did remove a couple of <p></p> set of tags you had and it improved the jump, but it is still there.
If the page is live, run it through the validator http://validator.w3.org/ , fix whatever errors it finds, if you still have the jump, post a link to the page and the issue might get found.

Dreamweaver accordion spry

Hi all,
Hoping someone can help me with this one. I have a drop down
menu on one page which when I click a submenu item, opens a spry
accordion panel on a different page. The panel item that opens
depends on which sub menu item is selected on the afore mentioned
page. Problem is that if the accordion panel that opens is small
and then I click another accordion panel tab it cuts off part of
the content if it is larger that the content in the previously
viewed panel. This only occurs when I use the drop down menu to
display the page that contains the panel and then click another
panel tab after that. If I open the page that contains the
accordion panel directly I can switch different panels with
absolutely no problem. This has me stumped I am afraid.
Thanks

This is the problem
.AccordionPanelContent {margin-bottom:25px; margin-top:5px;}
Change the values to 0 (zero) and all is well.
To give the top and bottom some space, either insert <p> </p> or give the paragraph a style rule.

Toggle Accordion [Spry]

Hi all,
Hi,
I was wondering if anyone knew how I can close an accordion
panel by clicking on it. In more detail, when the user clicks the
panel title, it opens it, i want it to close if they click the
title again.
I'm using Adobe's Spry framework.
Any help would be great.
-M

Hi,
to find out which Spry version do you have, open the
SpryAccordion.css file or the SpryAccordion.js file and look at the
beginning of these files. You should see there the Spry pre-release
version.
You probably have Spry 1.4 because this behavior works only
on spry 1.5.
An working sample you can find
here.

Accordion Spry Blue Bounding Box

I have created a spry accordion and can not find a way to get rid of the bounding box that appears when you select it in the browser. In Safari it's blue, Firefox it is a black dash, and Explorer it is a blue dash.

Add style of outine:none to your accordion...
showing it inline as following:
<div id="Accordion1" class="Accordion" tabindex="0" style="outline:none;">
