Closed Accordion Panels problem

Once I set the Accordion Panels to all be closed at the
start,
the
layout of the page is stretched really long giving me a lot of
blank white space. (In FF, the Accordion stretches outside the size
of the background box) However, if I put the text that appears
above the Accordion in a panel and set it to be the
open
panel when the page is displayed, all works fine.
HELP????? I want text above the Accordion, then I want the
Accordion Panels to open at a fixed height. Is this do-able? If
not, is there a way to make the overall height of the page change
as the height of the panel changes so I don't have a bunch of empty
white space below the Accordion?

Nevermind.... seems to be working now. I moved the css that
was in the file to an outside file. The panel heights vary, but the
empty white space is gone. Good enough!

Accordion Panel problem in IE

Using DW8 - and Interakt Ajax tookit, I have an Ajax panel
that contains the Spry Accordion. I have tried EVERYTHING, and
although it works perfectly in Firefox, the panels open slightly as
soon as you mouse over or open any of them. I have tried editing
everything I can think of in the code, the CSS and even editing in
doc type in the panel page.... but it still does it....just
slightly. Also...I can only use fixed height... becuase if I use
the auto-height... it slides up sluggishly, but ONLY if there is a
LOT of content. I am pulling my hair out.
I figured the only people who can help me at this point have
to live in Romania.... if any are watching this post... please
help!!!
Thanks guys, and gals.

Here is the CSS for that area: I tried setting margins in
every state just as an experiment? Maybe I need to use the
!important comment?

Accordion panel problem in Firefox, etc.

I am wondering if someone could please help me with the spry accordion on this page http://www.safetybath.com/practicedec09/index4notabbedpanels.html . The panel appears to work well in IE but not in Firefox, where the two bottom panels should say SanSpa and LeisureIsland and then open, this does not appear to happen. I have attached the css file
2. Also I am wondering if there is a way to get rid of the "dotted Line" box that appears around the panel in Firefox?
3. How does one go about putting another spry accordion on another page in the site...will the css for the first spry accordion not take over the second one?
Thanks for your help

Hi
substitute this
Spry.Widget.Accordion.prototype.onFocus = function(e)
this.hasFocus = true;
this.addClassName(this.element, this.focusedClass);
return false;
with this
Spry.Widget.Accordion.prototype.onFocus = function(e)
if(this.blur)this.blur();
this.hasFocus = true;
this.addClassName(this.element, this.focusedClass);
return false;
in your xxxxxxx.js file

Start with all Accordion panels closed with variable height panels

I inserted a Spry Accordion on this page: http://www.brucebarrdesign.com/video_new.htm
I want the panels to open to a size depending upon the content within them so I set the height to auto. The problem is that when you go to the page, the first panel is open. I want all of the panels to be closed when you first go to the page. Per the Help docs and some posts I've seen in the forum, I tried inserting this code:
<script type="text/javascript">
var acc1 = new Spry.Widget.Accordion("Acc1", { useFixedPanelHeights: false, defaultPanel: -1 });
</script>
However, this only works with fixed height panels. If I use it with the variable height, it opens all of them, so I commented it out for now. How can I get this to work?
Thanks

This feature is only supported when using variable height panels, so you must pass a false into the Accordion's constructor for the "useFixedPanelHeights" constructor options, and a -1 for the "defaultPanel" option:
<script type="test/javascript">
var acc1 = new Spry.Widget.Accordion ("Acc1", { useFixPanelHeights: false, defaultPanel: -1});
</script>

Hi Angela,
You are right, the only way it will work is by setting the fixed height to false. As for the for the default panel option, -1 is not a panel and if you had 3 panels we could have used the number 3 (panel1 = 0) or 99 or whatever as long as there is no panel with that number. If we had used the number 1 for instance, then the 2nd panel would be opened by default.
Hope this helps.

All accordion panels closed on page load?

The default behaviour for a set of accordion panels is for
the first one to open automatically when the page firsts loads.
Is there a way to stop this happening and have them all
closed by default?

Slideshow Image Order of Go AND Problem with Sizing an Accordion Panel

SLIDESHOW Is there a way to set the start, middle, and end in a slideshow? I have tried arranging the position of the triggers (nothing happened); and moving the targets in the layers panel (again, nothing happened). I would like the slideshow to begin and end with specific slides.
ACCORDION PANEL Will not allow me to size it smaller than 962 pixels. The content area of the accordion panel is filled with one slide show per panel or tab, and I've checked all of the elements within the slideshow to make sure nothing exceeds 960 pixels. Nothing I can find exceeds 960 pixels, but when I remove all the elements from the content area, BOOM, I can make the panel any width I want.

Slide show sorting:
No, Mylenium, you are definitly wrong, You can choose any image order you want within slideshows:
1. Make thumbnail temporarily visible and drag the thumnail to the position you want.
or
2. Identify the slides in layers panel and drag their panel entries to the position you want.
Accordion panel:
You can choose whatever size you want – even with a slideshow within:
You have to make sure, that all element of the slideshow (caption, prev, next, counter) fit within the accordion panel. And – since the single accordeon panels don’t allow individual sizes – you have to make sure, that the content of every(!) accordeon panel does not exceed the size you want.

Problem with Accordion Panels

Hi
I have an issue with Accordion Panels.
http://characteraday.businesscatalyst.com/guided.html
You can see in the link above that I have Accordion Panels on the right side that say open/close tip. The first one open and close and displays the tip. All the others do the same but when they open then push the one under it down. The first one does not do this and I like this a lot better. Any ideas how to make them all work the way the first one "Enter the Character's name" works.
Thanks for your time.

Modify the following line by adding the mark-up coloured red.
<div class="AccordionPanelContent"><span class="CollapsiblePanelContent"><img src="productimages/tinyimages/doorkitseat.jpg" width="50" height="50">The <strong>Door Insert Kit</strong> is a bathtub conversion kit. By removing a portion of the bathtub wall and inserting a door, an existing bathtub becomes accessible, retaining its use a a bathtub. <em><a href="doorkitandseat.html"><strong>More</strong></a></em></span></div>
I hope this helps.

Using text links to open accordion panel

How do I use text links (from the page's main menu) to
programatically open a particular panel.
here is the page:
http://debrankin.com/tee/SITEDESIGN/
for example: I want to click on "Resumes and Cover Letters"
in the left hand menu to open the first accordion panel (by the
same name). I have this set this page so that all panels are closed
initially.
i know i'm missing something because this obviously does not
work: i've looked for documentation and this issue is inadequately
addressed!

Not really. The problem is that you have attempted to create
a
JavaScript object called accordion1 before the accordion HTML
is even
loaded into the browser. Moreover, the script that
initializes the
accordion is already in your HTML where it should be (after
the
accordion), but it uses Accordion1, not accordion1
(JavaScript is
case-sensitive.
Remove this after your menu.
> <script type="text/javascript">
> var accordion1 = new
Spry.Widget.Accordion("Accordion1");
> </script>
Change the links in the menu to Accordion1.openPanel(0),
etc., and it
should work.

Accordion panel not working correctly in IE6

Hi,
I created a page with an accordion panel set that worked fine
in FireFox. The panels start closed and then open when clicked
upon.
This works fine in IE 7 but when I open this page in IE6, the
panel tabs do not function properly. The top five do not have the
background color or any delineating lines - there is just the text
of the panel tab. When the tabs are clicked on, they will open but
the colors change oddly. Sometimes there is a small horizontal
section of no color at the bottom of the panel tab color. When the
cursor is moved around the page, the tabs can change
colors....sometimes. Other times a tab will lose color completely.
And yet, it works perfectly in Firefox. What could be causing
this problem. I was so happy that I had finally completed this page
since there was a lot of dynamic data to link to the page - and now
I feel like I am back at square one.
Please help!
Thanks

I atually figured it out - well I got it to work right but
I'm still not sure why it works. I had the accordion panel in a div
wrapper. The positioning was set to "relative". When I commented
out that line, it worked fine in IE6! I'm not sure why - but I'm
glad it did!

Spry Accordion Panels view incorrect in IE8

I have a page set up using both spry menu and spry accordion panels. The problem is that in FireFox and Chrome, the pages view as they should. However, in IE, the panels on the accordion spread and are open, it doesn't view as it should. The test page is here www.sbcvote.us/index1.html the source code is below. My initial guess is that I have an open or not closed tag somewhere?

I appreciate any help here, it really doesn't make sense to me, it did work for a few viewing in IE and I must have changed something by mistake?
Thanks again.

I added a set width to the accordion css and that solved the problem of the widget running across the page. The IE issue appears to be an ongoing issue with IE. If a viewer has IE8, then hitting the compatibility button on the menu bar will solve the viewing problem. If not, it doesn't view correctly. It views fine on other browsers (Chrome, etc). Problem is how many people will know to hit the compatibility button?
Thank you for your help, I appreciate the time taken.

How can I use the accordion panel widget with a footer?

Hi,
My question is may be not clear. So I'm gonna be more specific. I'm using a menu for my website with the accordion panel widget. The menu is working fine and when I'm opening it, it pushs the items below on the pages.
My problem is with the footer of the page. Because, when the items below the widgets are pushed, they go below the footer and the footer is not pushed.
Is there any way to pushe the footer when I use the accordion widget? I don t want to overlap it.

I assume this is what you want to achieve in the footer....
Make sure in Muse before you export that the panel is closed, and also as Brad suggested, make sure Overlap Items Below is unchecked. I would also check the "Can Close All" button.

Spry Accordion collapsing problem

I am using an accordion on my site, and also took the advice to update to the latest spry, which didn't seem to make a lot of difference to be honest (I am using DW CS3)
But the problem I am having is when you first come to the page the menu isn't completely collapsed and I wonder if there is a way of doing this...
This is not happening in latest firefox, IE8 or safari on a windows pc
here is a link to the page http://www.antworks.co.uk/mobymemory/menu.html
see the code below. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Thanks for your answer, the problem that I still have is that I am trying to close all the Accordions when clicking
on the last panel.
I have looked at the Accordion.closePanel() , but that throws an error

thanks Ant
I am not sure what you want to do here. When you click on an open panel, the panel closes; when you click on a closed panel, it opens and closes any panel that is open.
Please explain.
Sorry, did not see your new post which does explain what you want.

Anchor links to accordion panels not working properly across browsers

Hi everyone,
I need some help to figure out why my anchor links to specific accordion panels on another page are not working properly across browsers.
I have a Map page which has tooltips on mouseover on the site markers. 15 of the tooltips have "Click here for information" anchor links (although only 14 are currently linked) which, in theory, would take you to the Nurseries page where the specified accordion panel would be opened with the nursery entry appearing at the top of the new browser window.
Here are the links to the Map page and Nurseries page, respectively:
www.alegriadesignstudio.com/RFRI/map_v6.html
www.alegriadesignstudio.com/RFRI/nurseries_v6.html
I've tested the anchor links on IE, Firefox, Google Chrome, and Safari, and have received varying results. In most cases, the anchor links worked perfectly on two of the browsers, while on the other browsers, the correct accordion panel is opened but the nursery entry does not appear at the top of the new browser window. Anchor links using Safari and Google Chrome fared better (10 out of 14 links worked properly, and 8/14, respectively), whereas when using Firefox and IE, only 3 anchor links worked properly. The target audience for this website will be using IE and Firefox, so I would appreciate any help to figure out how to tweak the code so that the most, if not all, anchor links work properly on these two browsers in particular.
Here's an anchor link which worked perfectly in IE, GC, and Safari, but in FF, the entry did not appear at the top of the new browser window.
www.alegriadesignstudio.com/RFRI/nurseries_v6.html?luzon=9#mangatarem
http://www.alegriadesignstudio.com/RFRI/nurseries_v6.html?luzon=9#mangatarem [To access the anchor link on the Map page, mouseover the third green dot from the top of the map (Tooltip--Location: Mangatarem) and then click on "Click here for information."]
Here's a sample anchor link in which the entry did not appear at the top of the new browser window in any of the 4 browsers:
www.alegriadesignstudio.com/RFRI/nurseries_v6.html?mindanao=4#magpetAmabel
http://http://www.alegriadesignstudio.com/RFRI/nurseries_v6.html?mindanao=4#magpetAmabel [To access the anchor link on the Map page, go to "Mindanao" at the bottom of the map and mouseover the fourth green dot below the word "Mindanao" (Tooltip--LOCATION: Brgys. Amabel, Bongolanon, Imamaling, & Manobisa; Magpet; North Cotabato) and then click on "Click here for information."]
Here's a sample anchor link in which the anchor link worked properly in GC and Safari, but the entry didn't appear at the top of the browser window in IE and FF:
www.alegriadesignstudio.com/RFRI/nurseries_v6.html?visayas=1#bilar
http://http://www.alegriadesignstudio.com/RFRI/nurseries_v6.html?visayas=1#bilar [To access the anchor link on the Map page, go to the small island north and a bit west of "Mindanao" which is called "Bohol" and mouseover the fourth green dot below the word "Mindanao" (Tooltip--LOCATION: Bilar; Bohol) and then click on the first "Click here for information."]
Many thanks in advance for your assistance!
