Accordion widget pushes text

Hello, I have some issues with this widdget.
As you can see in the pic, the "Publications" tab pushes upwards the copyright text that is on the bottom of the page.
Thanks for any help,

Hello Ignacio,
Please provide us with the URL to the site to check the Accordion's behavior.

Text Shift Uncontrollably Inside Accordion Widget

Guys hi! I've been crashing my head for two days with this. Hope you will provide some help!
I have an Accordion Widget with a very long text block inside one of the boxes (a list with over 80 lines). On the background to each second line I put a grey rectange shape just to give some contrast to the lines in the list. In the project all the rectangles are prefectly aligned to be right behind the lines. But when I publish the site I definately see that the rectangles shift up or down.
Is it a bug and the widget simply cannon handle correctly so many elements insie the feiled or am i missing something here?
Many thanks in advance for your advice!! You might be saving me from insanity here;)
UPDATE!! It was not the shapes but the text that was shifting. I fave some items on the list that consists of two lines. That's where I changed the leading betwin those two lines from 200% (for separate items in the list) to 146% between two lines (for the items that cosist of two lines of the text). That somehow couses the text to shift in the preview mode xompared to the design mode. When I make the leading unilateral throghout the entire textbox everything stands in place.
Still the problem remains unsolved.

Zak. thank you very much!
And sorry for coming back so late on this.
You solution perfectly solved the problem.
On the downside,) I did have to change the layout and reformat the site to submit it to the client because the deadline came before I got your reply.
Perhaps the "Round Leading to a Whole Number" setting should be checked by default to avoid this kind of problems for other users in the future.
Anyway, a million thanks!

Accordion widget not pushing content out of way

Hi,
Following a Lynda.com tutorial I added a menu to an accordion widget while designing a mobile site. Expanding the accordion is supposed to push the page's content downwards but it is simply unfurling over it. Does anybody have any idea what might be going wrong?
Thanks,
Peter

Check to make sure "Overlap Items Below" is not marked.

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 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.

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 .

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".

Unordered list bullets and Spry Accordion widget

In all browsers except IE (surprise, surprise!), the page
works fine. Otherwise the bullets in my unordered list appear at
the bottom of the multiline text they are associated with. I
haven't had this problem in similar pages not using the accordion
widget.
Please have a look:

Accordion widget and audio

Using CP 7, I am trying the accordion widget for the first time, and I have it working rather nicely. Then I added audio to each of the options, to accompany the text that is revealed when the option is chosen, so that as each option is selected, and its text appears, the specific audio would play. That makes sense and that is how I would expect it to work. However, as soon as the screen loads one audio plays, and none of the audio clips play when their option is chosen.
Is this really the way it works? I would expect no audio until the user clicks one of the options, and then that audio would play. The way it is working for me makes no sense. Why have an audio icon for each content area (under each accordion option) if they don't play when the user opens that option?
As I created content for each of the options, I added an audio clip, using the audio icon specific to each accordion option. But it appears that only one audio is being used for the entire accordion.
I read through the string about problems with audio and the accordion, but that issue was different from this.
The way this is working now is not acceptable, and I will need to throw away everything I have done so far and start over if I can't make this work.

I just tried it in Windows with exactly the same behavior.
Can someone confirm how this is supposed to work? Logically, when a user selects one of the accordion options, and the option expands to show the text within it, then the associated audio should play. In the image below, you see the audio icon associated with the content for one option. However, in the documentation I found it is very vague about what the audio is assicated with. If the audio is just associated with the entire object, then the interface below is misleading at best.

Shortening accordion widget buttons MUSE

Hi guys
I was wondering how to shorten the accordion widget buttons in muse. They seem unable to reduce below a certain width and I would like the left and right edges to be closer to my text/
Any suggestion would be much appreciated.
Cheers,

Personally I would try the tabbed panel widget instead. Then you would have narrower links but they would be beside each other instead of on top of each other.
Another option may be to go with no border and then add a similar graphic as i fill that is narrower and centered.

Hi,
using your source code, I couldn't find a really inserted "Spry Accordion". If I do that (translated from german DW) > Insert > Spry > Spry Accordion, I'll find in my DW source code something like that:

Welcome to the Forum!
If you can upload your page to a server and give us a link, we will be able to look at your page in action. Just seeing the code is not enough.
Is this the first time you have used an Accordion? It is probable that the bright neon blue you are seeing is the default style, which you can change in the CSS file. I believe it was designed that color to highlight the feature you want to change .
Take a look in the Accordion's CSS file (it will show as an associated file at the top of your document window) for color rules, and adjust them to suit your palette (and your palate!). Check out the CSS Styles Panel (use Current mode) for a handy way to know what you are looking at. Click on the Accordion in Design View and the rules will be highlighted in the CSS Styles Panel. (Click the right-hand stair-step icon to see the style cascade.)

Spry Accordion Widget hiccups and more

Hi, I am using the Spry Accordion Widget on my website and have the following problems:
1. Is there a way for the accordion movement not to affect the images that are placed below it. For example, I have the accordion placed on top of 3 different logos. Whenever, the accordion panels move up and down (in use) all the contents (below the accordion) moves with it. I don't want the logos to move up and down whenever someone clicks on the panels. How do I make the logos stationary so its placements won't change?
I don't want to use an ap div tag because that would force my website to be in a fix position on a page. All I have been using to position my graphics are div tags and floats; no ap div tags. If you resize the browser window you will see that my website is somewhat elastic. Meaning, the graphics are always in the center of the page regardless of the size of the browser window—this is something I want to keep.
Please go here for better understanding: http://meinaco.net/tblLists.html
2. When one of the accordion tab is clicked there seems to be some kind of hiccup/jump/jerky (up and down movement) before it settles/stops. Is there a way to fix that? I noticed the accordion moves up and down smoothly prior to my inserting the images into the tab panels. To be clear, the images I am referring to are the brown horizontal lines with white words on a green background. Do these images have anything to do with this problem?
3. When the 1st tab (the restaurant panel) is open and another tab is selected, the restaurant panel displays large incorrectly styled text for a brief second as it closes to allow the other panel to open. I know it has something to do with my style sheet but I can't figure out what is causing it. I checked my css files and it seems they all have the correct size. To see this problem reoccur please do the following:
Make sure the restaurant panel is open then click on another panel (one of the 3 panels). As you click on the second panel pay attention to the text that sits inside the restaurant panel. You will see that large minus leading text will appear for a split second.
4. When I run my webpage (url mentioned above) on Safari 4.0.3 there seems to be a blue line outlining the whole accordion widget. This outline doesn't exist on Firefox nor on Opera. Please see attached image for clarity.
Any suggestions or help on any of these problems is greatly appreciated! Thank you in advance.
Meina
I hope someone can help me resolve or give me suggestions for the 1st and 2nd problems at the very least.

Problem with Accordion Widget INSIDE Sliding Panel Widget

Hello,
perhaps I should not do this, but I nested an Accordion
Widget inside a Sliding Panels Widget:
- There are eight Panels.
- Each one contains a complete Accordion.
The sliding works fine, and so does the Accordion animation,
but the text inside the Accordion Panel Tabs won't move along, when
a tab is activated. I need to hover the mouse over the accordion to
make the panel texts appear again.
Of course, when I un-nest the widgets and move the Accordion
widget out of the Sliding Panel widget, everything is fine.
My question is:
- am I demanding "too much" by nesting the widgets?
- or should this basically work, and the problem arises from
rivalling scripts?
Here is a link:
Nested
widgets Test
The horizontal top menu will activate the sliding panels, but
as of now only the leftmost menu item contains an Accordion (I know
the CSS does not look nice yet).
Is there anything I can optimise to get this to work?
Thank you so much,
Greetings, Jensen
Edit: The problem does NOT occur in Firefox, but in
Safari.

Hi John,
That is the expected behavior if the "Overlap items below" is unchecked. Please refer to the following link http://screencasteu.worldsecuresystems.com/aish/2013-08-21_1947.png. If you don't want the page to wiggle up and down, please check the box shown in the screenshot.

Accordion Widget Starting Closed

I am trying to use the accordion widget on the following
page:
http://jalc.org/jazzED/s_eac.html
I am having a problem getting the page to load with the
widget panels closed except the first one. I have added the
following code to just below the DIV close tag and it didn't appear
to help:
var acc1 = new Spry.Widget.Accordion("Accordion1", {
useFixedPanelHeights: false });
</script>
<script type="text/javascript">
var acc1 = new Spry.Widget.Accordion("Accordion1", {
defaultPanel: 0 });
</script>
Any ideas would be GREATLY appreciated.
Thanks,
Andy

Your second JavaScript statement overwrites the first one.
The options
should be passed to the Accordion constructor in the same
statement like
this:
<script type="text/javascript">
var acc1 = new Spry.Widget.Accordion("Accordion1", {
defaultPanel: 0,
useFixedPanelHeights: false });
</script>
