Anchor tag inside Spry Tabbed Panel Content

I have successful been able to use code I found listed on
here to open a specific tab in a Spry Tabbed Panel form a link. Now
I am wondering if anyone has found out how to add an anchor tag
code this so that is goes to a specific location inside that Tabbed
Panel Content?

I was looking for an answer on how to open a tab from another tab and found it!
In return I'll give you a hint on how to open a tab from another tab using an anchor
for example,
if you were working on a file named "projects.php"
create an anchor in tab 2
<a name="anchor1" id="anchor1"></a>come next to me
in tab 1 create the link to the anchor in tab 2
<a href="projects.php#anchor1" onclick="TabbedPanels1.showPanel(1); return false;">open tab 2 and go to its anchor 1</a>
In your case you are overlooking the file name and jumping directly to the anchor name.....am I right??

Dividing Spry Tabbed Panels content area into columns?

Hi there.
I am building a website and I want to divide the content area of a Spry Tabbed Panel into 3 columns for text.
How can I do this?
I thought about making divs inside the Panel but it would be too messy.
Please let me know if there is a simple way to do this.
Thanks in advance.

Linking page to Named Anchor on multiple spry tabbed panels

I am a Dreamweaver (cs5) "beginner" with little HTML knowlege. I am doing a site for an artist friend with several art gallery images. I have created a separate .html page for each image from the gallery (the gallery pages are built within several tabs in a spry tabbed set). When it came time to link my image page back to the particular gallery page, it did not work, only the default panel could be linked. I found Gramps' answer to another persons question that was similar to mine, only that person was using spry collapsible panels. Gramps answer: <a name="myAnchor"></a>, then URL origin page: ourPage.html?col2=open#myAnchor, and it apparently worked. I tried this using "tabbedpanel2" which is probably wrong; at any rate.... nothing seems to work.
For my first time doing this, can anyone put this in the simplest form, using my own page, link names? I have spent several day not getting anywhere.
Spry Panel page is called: store_sheet.html
namedAnchor on this page is called: o-pg2
origin page is called: 009.html
Because I'm not very good in HTML, I usually highlight what I am going to code so that I can find where it is at in the split screen, then I edit. This is how raw my knowledge-base is at this point.
Any help and advise would be greatly appreciated. I'm several days behind because of this glitch.

On the first page, the peeling turnips image looks like this -
<p><a href="shop_originals/001.html"><img src="shop_originals/peelingturnips.jpg" width="188" height="254" alt="original"></a></p>
The next image in the row looks like this -
<p><img src="shop_originals/02.jpg" width="188" height="254" alt="original"></p>
So, just select that image and link it to the detail page, e.g.,
<p><a href="shop_originals/002.html"><img src="shop_originals/02.jpg" width="188" height="254" alt="original"></a></p>
The on that detail page, make the continue shopping link like this -
<a href="../store_sheet.html#o-002"><strong>Continue Shopping</strong></a>
Is that what you wanted?

Spry Tabbed Panel Content editable region not functioning

I have a web page I created in dreamweaver CS5 with a tabbed panel. When my client opens the page to edit in contibute, the content and tabs do not function properly. Basically, the tabs do not function and the content for all of the tabbed regions is listed down the page on the first tab window. The page works fine when I open in Contibute on my computer, but only if it is through the Contibute Program. If I try to edit through firefox, I get the same issue as my client.
http://menwieldingfire.com.previewdns.com/bbq/bbq-menu.html
also, I get a space between the header image and the horizontal menu that goes white. I end up having to re-upload the page from dreamweaver. Why would the follow code get added to the page when a draft is created in Contribute, when this page is based on a template with editable regions?
< p style="margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0;"> </p >
Any ideas?

Check http://blogs.adobe.com/contribute/2010/06/paragraph_spacing_options_in_a.html and also http://blogs.adobe.com/contribute/2010/06/spry_widget_rendering.html it should be helpful to resolve the issue.

Can Google read the content inside spry tabbed panels?

I have heard that Google 'might' not be able to read text inside AJAX. Does anyone here know forsure whether they can?
I have content that I do not want Google to see (it is duplicate copies of other content that I have elsewhere on my site and I do not want any duplicate content issues- where Google just chooses which one to show in its search results). If anyone has any better option for me for how I go about hiding this content from the Google crawler please tell me.
Thanks,
YWSW
P.S. I do not want to have to resort to using frames (such as <iframe>) to hide the content.

can I assign a robots.txt file to not read spry?

Spry Tabbed Panels content open verticaly on web site opening?

Hello,
As long as the client does'nt authorised javascript my opening web site page does'nt make sense, we see all the content of the tabs openned vertically.
Is there a way to have an acceptable opening page , maybe without the the tabs working for the one who dont accept javascript?
Thank You in advance

Hi,
Thank's for the hint.
Unfortunatly when I use the noscript tag at the beginning and at he end of my div, I loose my tabs completely.
Yes and so it should when one uses a JS-enabled browser; but if one turns JS off then you will see the tabs.
A bit of imagination is required to juggle between what you want the different browsers to see. Anything within the NOSCRIPT tags will only be seen by non-JS-browsers.
If you want to remove a particular piece of code from JS-enabled-browsers you could use
<div id="dynamiccontent">
<script type="text/javascript">
    // If JS is enabled, we want to prevent the table from flashing
    // when the page is first loaded.
    Spry.$("dynamiccontent").style.display = "none";
</script>

</div>
I hope this helps.

Spry Tabbed panels content loading

Hello,
I have created a tabbed interface, it looks good, however the
content in some tabs it is a little heavy on some internet
connections.
Is there a way to load the content of each tab separately?
What i wanted to do is for each tab content to load only if
the user clicks on the tab, this way the start page will load much
faster. With the current settings all the content on all tabs loads
at the same time. Did not find anything on sprytabbedpanels.css
that could do this.
Can anyone help me?
Thanks in advance.
Joao.

Spry tabbed panels and "The tag: "li" doesn't have an attribute: "tabindex" ..."

Hi,
I've been using the DW CS4 "Spry Tabbed Panels" on a few pages. When I validate the website (with DW tool for that), I get the following messages for each use of the tabbed panels: The tag: "li" doesn't have an attribute: "tabindex" in currently active versions. [XHTML 1.0 Transitional].
Should I worry about this? I'd like to have a code as clean and XHTML valid as possible. Is there a way to fix this so the message doesn't come up anymore?

If validation is important to you, you need to remove tabindex. Should you worry about it? Not really. Sometimes it makes sense to ignore validation to achieve a particular goal, which is why Spry widgets use tabindex in a technically invalid way.
The explanation as to why Spry does that can be found here: http://blogs.adobe.com/spryteam/2007/03/spry_widgets_and_tab_index.html.

Spry Tabbed Panels: Title Tabs shift left, Content Tabs stay positioned correctly, right.

I inserted a clean Spry Tabbed Panel into a virtually empty HTML page (no content). I have a content div (624 px , float left) and sidebar (336 px, float right). When I insert the tabbed panel widget into the sidebar, the Spry Title Tabs go or float to te left, while the content portion of the Spry Tabbed panel stays correctly positioned within the sidebar on the right. I looked at the Spry CSS notes, and mentions something of by default they float the tabs left to allow for future divs without problems?? This problem only shows in Design View (leading me to think I've done something wrong). When viewed in Live View or Browser it looks fine, perfect! I have tried several float and clear combinations, none ave helped. I also deleted the Spry Tabbed CSS as to reset to default. Any Help or Advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

Design View is not an accurate representation. Don't rely on it. Use Live View and Preview in Browsers.
Incidentally, the Spry framework is gone from DW now. Most people have moved away from Spry to jQuery or commercial widgets.

Spry tabbed panels as menu system

Hi,
This is actually for Dreamweaver CS6.    What I'm trying to do is use spry tabbed panels as horizontal my menu system.    I want to have basically the functionality of the adobe.com menu system where the drop downs are tabbed and the content box size varies depending on the tab and the content box moves it's position relative to the tab that's selected.     I did manage to get the mouseover working so the tab's change according to which tab the mouse passes over.
My current problems are these:
I managed to change the content panel box size so it's not the same width as the full panel tab group however I cannot get it to move relative to which tab is selected, it just stays fixed in one location.
The content tabs are pushing the body of my page down instead of showing up over top of it which is obvioulsy not very condusive for a menu system.
I would like the default to show none of the panels until someone mouseover's one of the tab's and for the panels to dissapear when the mouse is not in the menu system.
For something similar to the adobe.com menu system am i using the right feature (it looks like tabbed panels to me) or should I be using a different spry feature, I would like to have text and an image in the content box under each tab just for overall effect.
I'm quite inexperienced with CSS and Javascripting and have basically gotten this far with trial and error modifying the CSS settings but I'm unable to modify the javascript on my own.
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!

As for your experiment, to prevent the "drop" reduce the spry CSS padding in line 76 selector from 21px to 18px.
.TabbedPanelsTab {
    -moz-user-select: none;
    background-color: #000000;
    border-color: #000000;
    border-left: 0 solid #000000;
    border-style: solid;

    list-style: none outside none;

Don't use dummy text without normal length text with breaks

Multi page recordset output from ASP page on Spry Tabbed Panel Widget

I am using a simple Spry Tabbed panel set on my asp page to show the output from different ASP pages, inside the tabbed panels. The tabbed panels on the page under consideration (destination page) display the output from different asp pages (source pages). The source asp pages generate multi page outputs which are paginated on the source page itself and pagination links are displayed on the source page itself.
However, we dont want to display the source page outside of the tabbed panel, but instead the output content from the source asp pages should show inside the tabbeed panels only. The first page generated by the source asp page displays correctly inside the tabbed panel. However, when the user clicks on the links for the next page generated by the source asp page, but which is being displayed inside the destination page tabbed panel, they dont display the next page inside the tabbed panel. Instead the source asp page displays the output outside the tabbed panel destination page.
Please advise on how to ensure that the user can page through the recordset generated by the source asp page by clicking on the pagination links at the bottom of the records, while ensuring that the output displays within the tabbed panels on the destination asp page.
I am enclosing the source code being used to generate the spry tabbed panel widget and also updating it with the output from the source asp page. In this case, the code given below is from the main page containing the widget and the source asp page is "sample.asp", which generates multi page output.
Please note that I am not too keen on using xml data sets output from the source asp page, but would be more comfortable with directly using the asp pages to fill the tabbed panel content.
Please help

I fully agree that the problem does not lie with tthe tabbed panels.
The solution would probably be first required to be tried using ajax on any div tab.
Then the same code would have to be used on Sprytabbed panel. Hence, the following may be advised:
1. Sample code for server side pagination and displaying inside any div tag and refreshing it using ajax. the update link would also lie inside the div tag which would show the next/ previous page without reloading the page.
2. Then adapting the refresh technique using ajax in the Spry Tabbed panel using the inbuilt updatecontent method of the Spry Tabbed panels.
In order to achieve the above, I am getting the recordset output in the tab content as expected. The recordset is also getting the pagination links from server side asp as required.
However, it is also generating the following error.
Webpage error details

The sourcecode is as given below. If you can help with the error indicated above, my problem would probably get solved.

Spry Tabbed Panels Keep Shifting

I have built a page using the Spry Tabbed Panels. I have one
set inside of another. The problem is when you click a main tab and
then a secondary tab and then roll over the main tabs again the
width changes on the secondary tab. I have no idea why it does
this. Here is the link:

Thanks in advance.

I would have to say that I am not sure it is a good idea to
be using the tabs spry function as a navigation system. It is not
what it was intended for. This puts your entire web site on one
HTML page. If you lots of images, this could be a rather large
download. Downloading an entire web site before you can see just
one page is not very efficient. You are better off, IMHO, to use
the SPRY tabs sparingly and where they are conducive to the content
and not as site navigation.
