Open specific tab in an accordion

Question

I have an accordion with 5 tabs. I want to open a specific
tab depending on which link is clicked on the first tab.
I have the following, which opens tab 2:
<a
href="javascript:acc1.openNextPanel();">{@atitle}</a>
and I could use openLastPanel() for tab 5, but how do I open
tabs 3 and 4?
I have found a query from Auroras giving a function to do
this, but I would have expected this to be an inbuilt solution -
has it been incorporated into 1.5?
Regards
John

Answer 1

To answer my own question (partly...), I have added the
following into my SpryAccordion.js file:
quote:
JBB 13/4/07
Spry.Widget.Accordion.prototype.openPanelNumber =
function(numbr)
var indx = numbr - 1 // panel index starts at 0
var panels = this.getPanels();
var curPanelIndex = this.getCurrentPanelIndex();
if( panels && curPanelIndex != indx && indx
< panels.length && indx >= 0 )
this.openPanel(panels[indx]);
-------------------------------------------------------------- END
Call this from anywhere you like (eg <a
href="javascript:acc1.openPanelNumber('2');">{@atitle}</a>).
The number is 'natural' rather than 'logical' - ie the first tab is
number 1, the second is 2, etc. Quote marks are optional
(javascript will just cast the string into an integer) and invalid
values are ignored.
