I want to make it perfectly clear that when a customer asks
for support we
give him or her support, regardless of whether the customer
is nice to us or
not. That said, you have a couple of options here:
1. You can ask Adobe to help you get your spry menu and spry
accordion
working the way you want. They do owe you as much. If that
help is not
forthcoming on this forum, you can try posting on the spry
forum.
2. You can contact PVII directly with a request for a free
license and we
will make a decision. If you are given a free license and/or
you do purchase
a product, as well, then you would qualify for direct
support, which can be
obtained in a number of ways, but not on Adobe's forums.

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,
ThanksThank 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. -
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 . -
How do I add a new panel to the accordion widget in-between two others (NOT at the end)
In the accordion widget, the + button at the bottom adds a new panel to the end. I have a series of panels that are in alpha-sort and need to add a new panel in the middle... I can't figure out how to do it without re-doing the whole thing. is there a way to do this?
Gah! Thanks Mac.
That was the first thing I tried! I must not have had the right level selected. It's been driving me batty, but I've got it now. -
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! -
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,

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 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,

Hi
I've got a website in which i've got an accordion widget of all the pages.
When i click on a part of the accordion, it displays the correct page, but the accordion resets by itself when the requested page is loaded.
Would it be possible to stop it from resetting itself (when i change the page) ?

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.

Accordion Widget on Tablet or Phone
Here is a problem or flaw. If you deploy an Accordion Widget on an phone or table MUSE site, and a user opens one of the Accordion tabs and scrolls to the BOTTOM of its contents. Then if the user opens the next Accordion tab, that one automatically opens at the BOTTOM of its OWN contents, which is very confusing to users. There needs to be a DEFAULT SETTING such as "Always open at the top of the contents."
Does anyone know of a workaround for this bug?Hi, this is the BC forums, you probably want to post this in the Muse forum for the Muse team as this is releated to a feature of that not the BC platform itself.

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 functionality
Hello. I need the accordion widget to activate on mouse over instead of mouse click. Is this possible? If not, is this a feature that will be added in the future?
Thanks for the response Kin!
I am setting up the links like you suggested, placing the
link inside the AccordionPanelTab, however, the problem isn't
getting the link to intercept the clicks, it's getting the link to
perform their default action. In the SpryAccordion.js file, on line
223, the default action of the tab's contents is being disabled.
This means that, regardless of whether or not there is a link
inside the tab, it will still act only as a tab (unless I'm missing
something). The code looks like this:
if (e.preventDefault) e.preventDefault();
If one adds:
e.preventDefault = false;
before the code on line 223, the problem is solved. The
problem with that solution is, if I go in and add that line of
code, I have to remember that change and where it was for all
future updates of the Spry widgets. So my question is, is there a
way to disable preventDefault so that default actions of, in this
case, links are enabled? Can this be done without editing the
Accordion Widget's Javascript file? -
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.
-EricI 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".

Accordion Widget not saving current scroll position
Accordion widget saves scroll position in Firefox, however in
IE7 the position gets reset to the center of Accordion Widget.
Example. Select Alabama and then select Wisconsin to see
effect.
See www.Qualite1.com/contactUs.htmlHi ghaug,
This is due to the tabindex attribute that is on the
top-level element of the accordion. Apparently when an element is
focused in IE, it tries to make sure the top of that element is in
view, so it is "conveniently" scrolling it into view for you.
To prevent this behavior for accordions like yours that don't
fit neatly into a single screen, you are going to have to remove
the tabindex attribute from the top-level accordion element. If you
still want/need keyboard navigation of your accordion, then you
have to switch to using links in your accordion tabs. You can find
an example here:

Reliability of Spry Accordion Widget
I posed a question in this forum last week and was unable to
get a helpful answer to my problem. I am trying to use the Spry
Accordion Widget on a site:
http://www.jalc.org/JazzED/s_eac_B.html
I have researched here to learn how to get the panels to
start closed with one panel to be open by default. This works
exactly like expected in Firefox and Chrome but NOT in IE.
Am I wrong in my assumptions that:
1) Folks from Adobe monitor this board and chime in with
answers/solutions or acknowledgement of bugs; and
2) Spry widgets are a reliable cross-platform technology that
have had the bugs worked out
or, is the real case
1) Adobe folks only look into these forums on an occassional
basis, if at all; and
2) Spry widgets should be left alone if you are expecting
them to perform properly relative to cross-platform capabilities.
I appreciate anyone's feedback or suggestions on these
questions.
Thanks,
AndyI just re-read my post above and am mortified at the tone of
my message. It was in no way intended to come off as pissy, which I
fear it might have. Anyone with any thoughts on my issue, I would
appreciate your feedback.
