IE7 and Spry Effect

In IE 7 when you start your div with display: none; in order
to have the slide collapsed at start, when it expands, the text
inside the div remains hidden, in FireFox the text displays
properly. Any ideas?

I just tried V1 Fusions idea and it sort of works, didn't
have time to play with it more.
The solution I found, though its still hack and I don't like
it is to add a second effect to start it off closed:
so my two effects are:
var slideClose_effect = new Spry.Effect.Slide("slide1",
{duration: 1, from: '0%', to: '0%', toggle: false});
var slide_effect = new Spry.Effect.Slide("slide1", {duration:
200, from: '0%', to: '100%', toggle: true);
where slide_effect is triggered on a click of a link
slideClose_effect is triggered on the page load
and then I start off the div as visibility = hidden for the
sliding div. Which works but now there is a blank div that
collapses on load then works perfectly. I just wish I could start
out with it collapsed at the get go.
here are my two effects

Problem with Spry:Repeat and Slide Effect on IE6

I run the website for my kids' hockey association and I'm not
a web programmer. I am trying to display events in a Spry region
using spry:repeat. The data is coming from a Google Calendar . I
display the event date and title on the main page. I have the
onclick set to call a javascript function that exposes the details
using the spry slide effect. It works ok except in IE6.
The following creates my dataset from a method call to a
Coldfusion component that returns the XML I need:
<script type="text/javascript">
var ds1 = new Spry.Data.XMLDataSet("
http://tornadoyouthhockey.org/Events.cfc?method=EventXML",
"events/event",{distinctOnLoad:false});
</script>
The following function slides open the detail:
<script type="text/javascript">
function startBlind(rid) {
var contentdiv = document.getElementById('panel'+ rid
+'Content');
var panel_height = contentdiv.clientHeight;
if (panel_height<100){
var bd = new Spry.Effect.Blind('panel'+ rid +'Content',
{duration: 800, to: '100px', toggle: true});
else {
var bd = new Spry.Effect.Blind('panel'+ rid +'Content',
{duration: 800, to: '0px', toggle: true});
bd.start();
</script>
Within the repeat I have:
<div class="EventPanelLabel"
onclick="startBlind({ds_RowID});">{startDate} —
{title}</div>
I think the XML looks OK but for some reason when the page
loads, IE6 returns:
Exception caught while loading
http://tornadoyouthhockey.org/Events.cfc?method=EventXML:
[object Error]
The page seems to work fine in Safari and Firefox on the Mac
and IE7 as well as Firefox on Windows. Just IE6 seems to be having
the problem. Could you please take a look at
http://tornadoyouthhockey.org
and provide any suggestions you may have?
Also, is there a way to hide the {startDate} - {title} I'm
seeing while the page loads?
Thanks,
Kevin

Kin:
Thanks for your reply. I made the changes you suggested but,
unfortunately, IE6 is still giving me the same error when the page
loads:
Exception caught while loading
http://tornadoyouthhockey.org/Events.cfc?method=EventXML:
[object Error]
Could this be part of the problem an need to be changed as
well? :
<div id="panel{ds_RowID}Content"
Any other ideas? The page is live if you'd care to look...

Spry.Effect.Slide - cannot set initial state.

I have 3 div elements using the Spry.Effect.Slide effect. I
use CSS to close 2 elements and leave 1 element open. It works fine
in Firefox. But in IE7 when the hidden elements slide down to show,
its still display of none!! In firefox, the elements are displayed
fine when the slide effect is started. Below is my code.
Is there another simple approach that will work in IE7?
<style>
#menuGroupAboutCompany { display:none; }
#menuGroupAboutProducts {}
#menuGroupMoreMatchpoint { display:none; }
</style>
<script type="text/javascript">
var menuGroupAboutCompany_toggle = new
Spry.Effect.Slide('menuGroupAboutCompany', {duration:500, from:
'0%', to: '100%', toggle:true,
setup:menuGroupInit('menuGroupAboutCompany') });
var menuGroupAboutProducts_toggle = new
Spry.Effect.Slide('menuGroupAboutProducts', {duration:500,
toggle:true});
var menuGroupMoreMatchpoint_toggle = new
Spry.Effect.Slide('menuGroupMoreMatchpoint', {duration:500, from:
'0%', to: '100%', toggle:true, setup:menuGroupInit});
</script>

Sorry, previous code posting had some other code I was
experimenting with. This is the current code that works in Firefox.
<style>
#menuGroupAboutCompany { display:none; }
#menuGroupAboutProducts {}
#menuGroupMoreMatchpoint { display:none; }
</style>
<script type="text/javascript">
var menuGroupAboutCompany_toggle = new
Spry.Effect.Slide('menuGroupAboutCompany', {duration:500, from:
'0%', to: '100%', toggle:true});
var menuGroupAboutProducts_toggle = new
Spry.Effect.Slide('menuGroupAboutProducts', {duration:500,
toggle:true});
var menuGroupMoreMatchpoint_toggle = new
Spry.Effect.Slide('menuGroupMoreMatchpoint', {duration:500, from:
'0%', to: '100%', toggle:true});
</script>

Spry Effects questions

I have two (2) questions about using the Spry Effects script in a horizontal slide configuration.
Question 1:
In DW CS4 if I add the command <duration: 500,> the numerals turn red. I also get an error in line ???? from DW which is the line the variable is on. If I go ahead and accept the change I see the desired quicker slide in Firefox and Safari. The default is 1,000 milliseconds so I am cutting it in half. But! In Internet Explorer 7 the script locks the browser window up. Even if I revert to the saved HTML and JS files the problem still persists. This problem also occurs if I set the duration higher than 1,000 milliseconds.
This also happens if I upload the files to the Internet. I was forced to redo the line in question and copy my saved SpryEffects.js over to my working directory. This unlocked the file in Internet Explorer 7. Any suggestions on how to get the quicker response time in Internet Explorer 7?
Question 2:
In Firefox I get a border around the button that enacts the Spry Effect. I set the text decoration to "none" for both of the IDs for the images. This thin line does not appear in Internet Explorer 7 or Safari 4.0.3. My version of Firefox is version 3.5.3.
The file can be viewed here.
Thank you in advance.

I have also found that the Spry works better in FireFox than
IE7, when it comes to video
http://www.catholicmemphis.com/catholicmensconference.html
Check out this page and you will see that the Spry tabbed
menu stops the video in FireFox but not in Explorer. I have seen
this type of problem in a few forums, but know one gives an answer
to those looking for solutions....

Zooming animation is extremely slow in IE7 and IE8

Hi,
version: OracleAS MapViewer Version: Ver1033p5_B080908
zooming effect is extremely slow in IE7 and IE8 (FF, Safari, Chrome do it fast!)
thanks,
Branislav

I believe you can blame IE's incredibly slow JavaScript engine for this. That's my experience. There's not much the Mapviewer developers can do about that really.
I had hoped, that IE8 had improved on that, but there hasn't really been any visible differences.

Spry effects not recognizing classes

When adding a spry effect to an <img> element, it will pick up on ID's but not classes.
<style>
img.color {color:#fffff}
</style>
<body>
<img src="image.jpg" class="img.color" img />
</body>
In the spry effect dialogue, it will let me select the current img tag, but if i were to specify a second class
<style>
img.color {color:#fffff}
img.opacity {opacity:50}
</style>
<body>
<img src="image.jpg" class="img.color img.opacity" img />
</body>
then it wouldnt work because it can only recognize the current selection instead of the individual styles like i can do with an ID (which wont work for multiple styles as there can be only one id per element).

It makes it very hard for us to know what you are trying to achieve without seeing some code hence I shall give you some code to work with
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Untitled Document</title>
</head>
<body>
<img src="header.jpg" onClick="MM_effectAppearFade(this, 1000, 100, 0, false)">
<script src="SpryAssets/SpryEffects.js"></script>
<script>
function MM_effectAppearFade(targetElement, duration, from, to, toggle)
{Spry.Effect.DoFade(targetElement, {duration: duration, from: from, to: to, toggle: toggle});}
</script>
</body>
</html>
Just copy and paste the above code into a new document, make sure that you do have SpryEffects.js in the SpryAssets folder and try it out.

BUG report about Spry.Effect.Highlight

Can you please elaborate? Which "trigger link" do you mean?
Are you using the Spry 1.4 release?

Problem combining Spry effects with image captions [was: LShub]

I am using Spry effects combo sample 2. The thumbnails in the sample are all included within the same preview div. I need to include captions underneath the images, so I have each thumbnail and caption within a separate div. The effect still works everywhere except Explorer. In Explorer 7, the image grows behind the image in the next div.
I read through the Spry for Ajax forum, but the Java Script used there is different. I have tried putting all the divs I want to grow inside another and giving the new div a position and z index. I have also added a z-index in the CSS of the preview div. Nothing I've tried works. Is there a fix?

Spry static gallery combined with Spry Effect Observers

I have set up a Spry static gallery using the
demo
here.
I would like to add a cross fade for the main image using the
Spry Effect Observers shown at the bottom of
this
demo page.
I like the thumbnail grow effect used in the first demo and
like to add a cross fade for the main image when the thumbnail is
clicked. Have someone built such an example or can someone show me
how it is done? Typically I have 4 thumbnails/images per product
page.

This is a user to user forum, Adobe will never reply to you.
Also, Spry is still a pre-release framework, its nowhere near
finished.
Its the kind of framework where you take whats available and
make
something out of it, its very flexible if you know
javascript.
I am learning javascript just to understand the little bits
that I am
experimenting with, I think its the only way forward if you
intend to do
something outside the box.

Spry Effects Issue

Hello everyone,
I'm new to spry and know very little about ajax and java but
I'm eager to learn. I downloaded spry frameworks and I'm looking at
the demo effects page. I click on the fade one and it fades away
but fades back automatically. How can I set it so it wont fade back
until it is clicked again?
Thanks

Spry.Effect.GrowShrink crazy behaviour

Hi, I was wondering if someone could help me figure out why
when I pass the mouse over the thumbnails in my photo gallery, they
act all jumpy. I used the same effect as in the Spry demo photo
gallery yet they behave differently. My gallery is located here
http://www.fotosite.ca/temp/index.htm
my grow function looks like this (and shrink is similar)
function GrowThumbnail(img, from, to){
img.style.zIndex = 150;
img.style.borderStyle = 'solid';
img.style.borderWidth = '3px';
img.style.borderColor = '#ffff00';
Spry.Effect.GrowShrink(img, {duration: 500, from: from, to:
to ,toggle:false });
Thanks in advance for any help,

Hi,
I see 2 problems:
1. The Grow/Shrink effect do not know to consider the margin,
border and padding so when you add these properties from the
JavaScript you'll have the weird behavior of images moving down and
right before animation start and then up and left when the mouse
leave.
We automatically include the 1px border in the thumbnail view
and we only change its color. You remove 2px from the border while
the mouse is not over the element and when you add them the effect
is really visible and disturbing. If you consider in keeping a such
big value for the border then you should keep it when the images
are not focused.
2. While you move the mouse over the thumbnails fast some of
the images will remain open. This is a bug that also reproduce in
our photo gallery too and I will look to fix it while the new Spry
will be released. The issue is basically generated by the fact you
are not using the toggle option while running the effect.

Hover and fade effect

Hello,
I am creating a photo gallery with thumbnails of the images
and would like the thumbs to fade in when hovered over. I can get
the fade in to work mostly except that rather than fading each
image in individually, all images fade in when I hover over one. In
addition, I am unable to make the thumbnails display faded to 50%
when the page first loads. I'm afraid I'm not terribly familiar
with JavaScript so any help would be greatly appreciated.
Here is a link to the draft site:
http://www.cas.umt.edu/draft/bruce%5Fcosta/keith.htm
And here is my relevant code as it is now:
<script type="text/javascript">
var dsBrenan = new Spry.Data.XMLDataSet("data/galleries.xml",
"galleries/brenan/photo");
</script>
<script type="text/javascript">
var gEffectInProgress = null;

function fadeInContent(notificationType, notifier, data)
if (notificationType != "onPostUpdate")
return;
var effect = new Spry.Effect.Fade('main_image', { to: 100,
from: 0, duration: 1000, finish: function() {
// The region is now showing. Process any pending row change
request.
gEffectInProgress = null;
if (gPendingSetRowIDRequest >= 0)
var id = gPendingSetRowIDRequest;
gPendingSetRowIDRequest = -1;

var hfadeout = new Spry.Effect.Fade("thumbs", {duration:500,

Hi,
I've moved the definition lines inside the "thumbs" div and
am still unable to get functionality from the hover effects.
Here's my code:
<div id="thumbs" spry:region="dsBrenan">
<img spry:repeat="dsBrenan" id="tn{dsBrenan::ds_RowID}"

<script type="text/javascript">
var hfade = new Spry.Effect.Fade("tn{dsBrenan::ds_RowID}",
{duration:500, from:50, to:100});
var hfadeout = new
Spry.Effect.Fade("tn{dsBrenan::ds_RowID}", {duration:500, from:100,
to:50});
</script>
</div>
Could my code for the fade in and out on the main image be
causing issues with the thumbs? Here is that code:
<script type="text/javascript"> 
var gEffectInProgress = null;
var gPendingSetRowIDRequest = -1;
function fadeInContent(notificationType, notifier, data)

// The region is now showing. Process any pending row change
request.
gEffectInProgress = null;
if (gPendingSetRowIDRequest >= 0)
var id = gPendingSetRowIDRequest;
gPendingSetRowIDRequest = -1;
fadeOutContentThenSetRow(id);
effect.start();
Spry.Data.Region.addObserver('main_image', fadeInContent);
function fadeOutContentThenSetRow(rowID)

gPendingSetRowIDRequest = rowID;
return;
if (rowID == dsBrenan.getCurrentRowID())

Spry Effects

I am using the Grow/Shrink behavior from Spry Effects in
Dreamweaver. I am trying to grow an image from 20% to 100% but the
image appears in the browser at a 100% then when I click on it it
then appears at 100% and grows to 100%. Is it possible to get the
image to appear at 20% on the page and only grow when I click on
the image.

As somebody who writes books, I can tell you why. My
"Essential Guide to

than any other
book on the market; but I don't include that technique. If I
tried to do
so, my 750 page book would probably be 7,500 pages long, and
would be
published a couple of years late.
One of the great things about web design is that you can do a

amazing things by experimenting. But you need to have a firm
grasp of
the basic technology to be able to do so. That's one of the
main things
you can learn from books. I had no idea how to create the
effect that
you wanted, but I did know how to apply a Spry effect. I sat
and thought
about the problem for about two minutes, tested my theory,
and was
delighted to discover that it worked. Devising new techniques
rarely
goes as quickly as that, but that's the challenge - and fun -
part of it.

Spry Effects Question

Is there a way to use a spry effect to have a div (or image)
fade away and have it show the page underneath. For example, I have
a page where I want there to be a picture when you open the page. I
then want the picture to fade out automatically, and have my web
page (with navigation, etc) underneath of it show up. It seems that
when using spry effects however, the image will fade out, but it
doesn't fade to nothing. There is something there still blocking
the content underneath.
Any help at all would be greatly appreciated!

Hi,
I've just reproduced your case and I have a solution for you.
After the effect finishes, you should made the image
invisible and in the same time to release the space occupied by the
image.
To do this, add into the effect constructor the option:
'finish:' that receives a function as parameter. On this function
you set for the image to become invisible after the effect finishes
by adding display:none.
The constructor should look like this:
var effect = new Spry.Effect.Fade('test', {duration: 3000,
from: 100, to: 0, finish:function(el,
eff){el.style.display='none';}});
The effect will be started onload.

Spry Effects doesnt work with position:absolute CSS
