Accordion widget - moving sections

Is it possible to move the sections in the accordion widget? I want to move the last section to the top of the accordion.

I did offer you two work flows to have images on top of question slides. I don't think they'll change the design of question slides (following the basic SCORM defined types), has been the same since many, many versions. But you can now more easily create custom question slides than ever before with learning interactions, variables and shared actions. Your idea of 'basic functionality' is maybe not the same for the majority of users
You could log some feature requests, if you want to have impact on changes for the future. Personally I don't feel that the change to a learning interaction is such a basic functionality. Every application has its proper ways, and Captivate is certainly not an exception.

Accordion Widget is moving my footer!

I am using the Accordion Widget as one of my sidebars for
various products. My issue is that when one of my larger accordion
tabs opens, my footer and the bottom of my center column extend to
the length of my accordion. HOW DO I STOP THIS?! It's driving me
crazy.
You can see what I'm talking about
here.
Any and all help is appreciated. Thanks.
-Eric

I think you miss the point. However, if you really think your
design looks
good with the accordion pushing down past the bottom of your
other columns,
including the footer, then that is certainly your right ;-)
To do that, make
your third column "position: relative" and make the root
element of your
accordion "position: absolute".

Content below Accordion widget not moving?

I want to have content below the accordion widget to slide down when one of the panels is open. Right now the accordion widget slides behind the content when one of the panels is open. I have "Overlap Items Below" checked.
From the Lynda.com site: " The Accordion panel now includes an option to Overlap Items Below. When selected, content below the Accordion panel will move down on the page as an Accordion panel is opened/expanded."
thanks

That seems like a typographical omission on Lynda.com's blog.
You need to uncheck that option to move the content below accordion down upon opening the panel.
Please check below excerpt from Muse Release Notes here: http://helpx.adobe.com/muse/release-note/adobe-muse-release-notes.html
The Accordion panel now includes an option to "Overlap Items Below". When selected content below the Accordion panel will not move down on the page as an Accordion panel is opened/expanded.

Is there a way to force a user to view all of Accordion Widget?

Is there a way to force a user to read, or at least view,
all sections of the Accordion Widget? We want to make sure the learner reads
all of the material before advancing to the next slide. Is there a way to do
this? I have searched all over, but I have been unable to find.

No way. This is a static learning interaction, no event that could be used eventually. Personally I prefer offering reading material that is engaging over looking for a way to push the learner to look (reading doesn't mean he understands or grabs it) at all the stuff. But that is my teacher's past, if student doesn't read your stuff, something is wrong with the stuff, not with the student.
If you have to force, you'll have to find another way than the accordion interaction .

SPRY accordion widget IE8 ONLY issue

hello everybody,
i noticed a strange "jumpy" behavior while using the spry accordion widget -- this affects IE8 only (currently using 8.0.6001.18882 on vista), other browsers (including IE7 and IE8 forced into IE7 mode) work as expected. this issue seems to be related to the margin property of the accordion container...
not shure whether this behavior is related to IE rendering or the spry javascript code itself... anyway i made NO changes to the spry script (my version is 0.15, 1.6.1, which i believe to be most recent one).
the xhtml (strict) and css are perfectly valid (there might be some MINOR css hacks which are not related to the accordion itself). i do NOT use ANY padding on the inner container of the accordion (which would definetely make the spry js count the tween in odd way). the accordions (especially the main menu on the left) are little more complex, but they were built according to the spry widget document, found on the adobe spry website.
so, here it is -- check the accordion on the left side (the bug seems to happen almost always while opening/closing the last BLUE "section" of the accordion, please play with the accordion for a while to reproduce it -- while the accordion closes, it "loses" it's bottom margin (i guess), what's even more wierd, everything gets back to place after you move a mouse):
http://www.prazskematky.cz/home.php
PLEASE NOTICE: since the website is still under development and i'm using a IE meta tag to force it into IE7 rendering, to reproduce this behavior please be shure to switch IE engine to IE8 standards mode
well, we all now how IE handles css... so it's propably an IE bug -- anyway if you have encountered a similar issue of even better found a fix, please let know. (i don't consider a fix switching to another js library, i would like to use the spry, because of it's DW integration)
many thanks,
p.s.

Are you referring to what it looks like in Design view? If
so, that's
correct. Accordion panels have a fixed height. From memory, I
think it's
200px. However, if you test the page in a browser, you should
see a
scrollbar automatically generated on panels that have content
that
exceeds the height of the panel.
If you want flexible-height panels in the accordion, you need
to adjust
both the CSS and the script that initializes the accordion. I
have
covered all the details in my "Essential Guide to Dreamweaver
CS3" (and
the forthcoming CS4 edition). You can probably find online
tutorials as
well. Try a Google search for Spry flexible height accordion.
The accordion widget has been around since CS3, and it hasn't
changed in
CS4, so a Google search should bring up a lot of information.

Accordion widget

Hello!
I have a question, why not work accordion widgets and thumbnails when I upload it via FTP to my server?
Already contacted my hosting provider asking if they had the solution, I gave my directory permissions and widgets do not work.
another thing, when I open my page from any IOS images that has the project are moved around!
please help!
thanks!
Greetings!

I see not all the files are uploaded on the server that is why you are facing this issue. Please try to export the html to a different folder and then use an ftp client like filezilla to upload it and let me know how that goes.

Accordion widget not pushing content down

I followed the instructions for putting the menu inside the accordion widget. It has worked great for me in the past. But now, the menu just shows up behind the content. I've looked at several discussions, and I have everything set up correctly. No scroll effects, etc. I followed the step-by-step instructions on Lynda.com and in an earlier version of Muse it was perfect. Now it isn't. Here is the business catalyst site URL. pitv.businesscatalyst.com. Appreciate your help.

Hi,
Coud you please try the suggestion provided in the following thread
Re: Accordion Widget is Not Moving Other Page Items Down When Expanded
Do let me know if you have any question.

Spry Accordion Widget Behavior

I am using Dreamweaver CS3 and several Spry components. I am new to using Spry, but like how easy it is to impliment. One of the components I am trying to use is the Accordion Widget. The widget appears to function well (I am using variable panel heights) and the behavior appears as designed.
I am using the panel containers to list links to additional pages based on subject groups.
My question involves moving back and forth from the widget page to a listed pages, then back to the widget page.
The behavior I see is:
1)      User loads widget page, widget panel 1 is expanded onload.
2)      User expands different panel.
3)      User clicks URL link within different panel.
4)      User moves to new page (referenced URL page).
5)      User reviews content, decides it is not appropriate and wants to select another URL.
6)      User clicks the browser “back” button and returns to the widget page.
7)      Widget page onload returns to expanded panel 1.
Is there a way for me to tweak the JavaScript so that the user returns to the expanded panel they left rather that panel 1? Is panel 1 always going to be the panel that opens on page load? (Unless I have the settings set to no expanded panes on page load.)
Thanke you for any suggestions.

Greetings Arnout,
Sorry for the late reply. (Side-tracked with other work.)
I have a "outside-the-firewall" review area almost complete if you still have time to look at my code.
After testing several browsers and 2 platforms I have found that my problem is likely not with your code at all, but with small modifications that I have had to do to it. For example, I will need to have 2 separate Accordion blocks on the page I am developing.
When I drop Dreamweaver generated Spry code into the page the <div class="Accordion" ID="Accordion1"> is created (which suits my future needs, the additional block will have <div class="Accordion" ID="Accordion2">. I noticed that your code uses <div class="Accordion" ID="sampleAccordion">.
If I go through the cookie code and change all references of "sampleAccordion" to "Accordion1" the code breaks. I am missing something and haven't been able to find it.
Additionally, I noticed something odd when testing the widget. When testing using a Mac (Safari and Firefox) it appeared I didn't need the cookie code at all. The unmodified Dreamweaver Spry code appeared to hold the value of the launch panel when I moved from my launch page, to my receiver page, then back to my launch page.
This wasn't the case with Windows IE and Firefox. IE 6 appears broken onLoad, IE 8 and Firefox breaks when I go back to the launch page from the receiver page. Very odd behaviors. Tonight I will load your original code on a test page and add testing notes so that I have a "control".
The URL for the (several) test pages is: http://tim.kern.home.comcast.net/~tim.kern/
If you have any suggestions (for modifying the cookie code to work with more than one widget on a page) I would certainly appreciat them.
Thank you very much for the original code.

Why is my text in one of my text blocks in my accordion widget going vertical?

I need a break! Now, in my accordion widget one of the text blocks are vertical. Or what I should say is the text looks correct but the T tool is showing that it is vertical and the menu at the top of my screen shows it's vertical. I was trying to get rid of extra space after my wording and noticed that the vertical tool shows. I have tried everything to get it to go back to normal text. As soon as I click back into the text frame it reverts back to vertical. I have wasted so much time with problems with widgets today I'm ready to give up. Anyone know the answer?

I was so frustrated I decided to try to delete the text box for that accordion section and start over. It seemed to be ok now. Now I'm having problems with anchors. It's always something when I am working with deadlines. Could you look at my site? I still have a lot to do but the business catalyst site is opitsourcebook01.businesscatalyst.com. If you go to the accordion widget on the left under "Associations and Organizations and click "Click this link" at the beginning of the paragraph it will take you to the page. Again, very frustrated but in the menu bar with "Physicians - Pharmacists - Nurses - General" I removed all but one anchor because they would not line up. If you click on "General" it doesn't go to where the anchor is farther down the page just right above "General Listings". I have spent all day reviewing tutorials and I can't seem to see what I have done wrong. Going for a run to rethink. Thanks for your help.

Accordion widget content height

I'm using an accordion widget for the navigation of a site. Some of the sections have sub-sections and other do not.
Is it possible to remove the "content area" of an accordion widget but keep the label? I tried to set the height of the content area to "0" so the items below would not shift down but it appears that the minimum height for the content area is 1 pixel.
The page is posted at http://ekagra.com/dev/
If you click the 'Services' or 'Clients/Partners' links, you'll see the other labels shift down.

Thanks for the quick reply. I'm using spry pre-release 1.6 in
CS3 so maybe it's set up different. When I drop the spry accordian
widget into my html it creates a css and js file to go with it. I
found that if I edit the js file to read
FixedPanelHeights = false;
that the panel will resize for the content. If left to the
default, true, the panel will have a scroll bar to the side for
overflow, which I don't like. Then with it set to false, I can
adjust all the rest thru the css file. Again, I'm a newbie when it
comes to this stuff so I'm proable doing something backwards, but
this seems to work. Thanks again.

Can you make a composition widget act like an accordion widget?

Is it possible to make a composition widget act like an accordion widget? The reason I ask is because the styling that I can do inside of a composition widget is much more than that of a accordion widget which is just a simple text frame, makes it impossible to add images/icons where I would like to. The only work around to this is to make a .psd file with my states already predefined in it, however If I have to resize the widget for any reason I then have to go and edit the psd file vs just simple moving the items in muse.

Hi
How exactly you are trying to style the text or image ?
You can insert any object or widget in accordion , add image or draw a rectangle with different states defined. You can resize while placing the image etc.
If this is not you are looking for , then please elaborate as what specific changes you are looking for the object in accordion.
Composition and Accordion , both are different and works differently but you can use accordion itself and make the changes to text or image anything inserted in the container.
Thanks,
Sanjit

Can I set my accordion widget to "expand all" tabs?

I am using an accordion widget to display content on my web page. Is there a way to allow the user to "expand all" of the accordion tabs at once?

One way you can achieve this is by creating single panel accordion files, just copy the file down for each section, make sure to set the accordion setting to "Can close all".
See attached screen shot when published.... the panels are all closed, but you can open all to view.

Edit accordion widget

So far I have been creating my website in Adobe Muse which is great for me as I have no coding knowledge at all.
I created a blank page and inserted the accordion widget.
What I want is the widget to also be open and not having to click or press the title bars for them to expand. As far as I know there is no way to do this in Muse but what if I use the 'export to HTML' and edit the code directly in Dreamweaver?
There must be something I can edit here that will tell the widget not to only have one instance open at one time. Gyazo - d3d19d1ae55a8f2e7eb5d99c78d6c78e.png As you can see there is a lot of sheets that have been created and I am guessing one of them will control the accordion widget, but which one???
Could someone please help me & tell me what line where do I need to edit to achieve this.
I have uploaded the page to...300
Thanks
James

Collapsible Panel Widget vs. Accordion Widget

The difference between the two types of widgets appears to be that the latter has the structure: tab1/contenta; tab/content2; etc. with only one tab/content open at one time, whereas the former has structure tab/content1,content2 etc though and all are open or closed.
Is this a correct understanding of the difference between the two widgets? Also, how does one add or delete additional content sections to the Collapsible panel widget?
Thanks, CMA

You might like to consult the following three webpages. The first two will give you a clear idea of what is meant by the terms tabbed and collapsible panels in an Adobe context. The last page is my own implementation of Adobe's SPRY Accordion Panel.

Problem with accordion widget flashing open and shut when page loads

why is it that my accordion widget flashes open and shut when the page is loading (see http://vincentballmusewebsite2013test.businesscatalyst.com/digital-illustration.html#.UVDr Ehx7JyII) have tried everything to solve this, and Adobes customer service is terrible they don't get back to you when they say they will.
Please help me someone,
Thanks

Thank you Zak for your help, I spent 5 hours going round in circles trying to fix that problem and that's all I needed to hear, a bit of honesty and integrity.and yes, Adobes terrible customer service has still not got back to after promising 2 level technical support to contact me last Monday, I wish there'd keep their promise
Pamela, did you try my test website or my own website and if so my own has now no accordion widget on it and my test website may need you to try loading a few times to see if it really works or not, sometimes it does actually work even on a pc but most times not.
thanks for you help too.
