Padding in content area of spry accordion

I'm trying to add padding to the content area of the spry accordion. Wherever I add it to, it's not working Can someone please tell me what css style to add padding to the content area in an accordion?

On line 83 of SpryAccordion.js change the padding - default is zero.
.AccordionPanelContent {
    overflow: auto;
    margin: 0px;
    padding: 20px;
    height: 200px;

Padding anyone? ... for accordion content

Hi all, this may be simple but I'm just not seeing it (it's
late and I'm out of espresso).... does anyone know how to add
padding to the content area of an accordion? I see the warning in
the CSS file, but there must be another way? Right now, adding
padding makes the gaps between the tabs grow and shows the scroll
bars... little ugly :-)
Anyone?
Thanks a million
Nelson

Hi Nelson,
The warning is in the CSS file because some browsers will
still apply padding when the height of the contentarea is zero.
This sometimes causes a jiggle or abrupt resize during animation.
To do what you want, put another div *inside* the content
area, and give that div padding. This allows the animation to
remain smooth and clip out the content without abrupt sizing.

Inserting a Spry Accordion on top of a background image?

I created an 800 x 600 pixel graphic image in Adobe Photoshop CS4 to be used as an overall background image for a webpage. I also created a few navigation links from the image Layers using the Slice Select Tool, then optimized and saved the image as an html file using the Save for Web & Devices command in Photoshop. Next, I opened the html file in Dreamweaver CS4.
Is it possible to insert a Spry Accordion with a clear (transparent) background anywhere on top of that background image in Dreamweaver CS4 so that I can see the background image behind the text content of the Spry Accordion? I use Windows Vista.

Hi,
Yes, as is shown by the following code:

Flash objects in Spry Accordion?

Hi All,
can anyone help me? I would like to insert a Flash photo
gallery usin an XML file for it's content into a Spry Accordion
panel. Is this possible? If so please help. I have insertedf the
Flash file and the container loads on access but none of the
dynamic content loads up (photos,text etc). Please note I am no
coder! Just an enthusiastic amateur trying to set up a school web
site. Thanks in advance.

Hi Arnout,
Sorry I've been so slow replying to you and thank you for
your interest. If you could click this link
http://www.welshhousefarm.bham.sch.uk
you can then click the curriculum link on the left and view one of
the subject photo galleries. When I put the exact same gallery into
a Spry Accordion panel the flash container will load but none of
the text, photos, or any interactive content is available? If you
like I could send send the original .fla .swf files etc. I would
really appreciate some help with this. Thanks again.

Spry Accordion 1.6.1 gains vert & hztl scrollbars in content area.

I've scratched my scalp raw. This page works fine in both Firefox and Chrome, but picks up vertical and horizontal scrollbars in the content area once open. Is this a known bug, or does it have something to do with the fact that I'm also using a Spry tabs inside the accordion content area? I'm using Spry 1.6.1 and Googling the issue turned up a few other people with the same problem. I've fiddled with the CSS overflow and height properties of the .AccordionPanelContent class, but to no avail. Please help!

I'm sorry, I did not complete the sentence correctly. The scrollbars appear in IE7. They're fine in Firefox, Chrome and IE8. Should I post html file and dependencies?

Spry Accordion Content not expanding fully

Hi,
I am trying to add some nice user friendly stuff to my site. I've created a Spry Accordion in which the content is images that I have created in photoshop. Some of the content is longer than 200px and will not show up in IE. When viewed in IE it only shows the 200px even though I have set a script that says fixed panel heights = false. I've updated everything to the updated spry...I'm going to attach all of the files that go with the dreamweaver file.
Please help me!

You are using Spry 1.4, the latest version is 1.6.1, consider upgrading to the latest version.

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.

Change text "link" color only in Spry Tab content area

I need to have multiple text link colors in my site for light
and dark background colors. The only regions in my site that have a
white background are in the Spry Tab Panel content area. I can't
figure out how to change the text color for text links in the spry
content only. I tried to add a:link ..etc... to the style sheet,
but it did not effect anything
(I also need to clean my style sheet (s). But that comes

Spry Accordion Menu - Content Height

Hey everyone,
I have a (hopefully simple) problem. I have a spry accordion with 3 tabs. Two of them have the same number of lines in them, but the "what" tab only has 2 lines so there's a lot of white space underneath it. I've tried changing
this.useFixedPanelHeights to false in the spry java script... and it does resize the content area properly, but the open and close on mouseover gets really messed up. Things don't open when they should, and close randomly. It makes it impossible to navigate. I've tried several other things as well, but nothing seems to fix the problem
The website:
http://jmb2-arch.com
Thanks in advance for any help!
-Cameron

You might try playing with the height specification as stated in the Spry CSS:
.AccordionPanelTab { -moz-user-select: none; -khtml-user-select: none; height: 76px; border: 2px solid #027dc3; width: 76px; color: #027dc3;
Setting a height is usually not necessary, unless there is a specific design reason (as there is here, with the main tabs and the sub tab area apparently intended to be identically sized).

Spry Accordion jerky and not content filling correctly after refresh

Hello.
I have a page I'm trying to make a Spry Accordion work smoothly.
I've tried options such as, fixedHeight fps from 30 - 500, timer from 100ms to 1000ms, disabling Keyboard navigation, all working somewhat, BUT....
When opening and closing the panels sometimes they open to "fill content" and others no.
For example in the LEgal panel there is only one line. I would like that panel open to a height equal to the line height. Some other pabnels open partially then fully, and back again.
The animation can be pretty jerky.
I've duplicated the page and while playing with a JQUERY UI accordion it is pretty smooth.
IS there anything I can do to get the Adobe Spry to work?
http://corporate.fr/ce/clientsSpry.html
Ooops never mind. I will post this anyway as maybe other noobs will resolve the problem if they do as I did.
I stuck this
In the container after the div not realising the default <script> is put at the very end of the mark up just before the </body>
Two things learned, one when the Adobe document says the script has to go in after the mark up, that means not just after the div with the Spry but all the way at the end,
and two: if you modify the Spry options, note the var acc1 and the string "Acc1" have to be replaced with your Spry ID, in both places.

Hello to all,
I have spent HOURS trying to figure this out....
I know the above code is messy, but it does correctly do the accordions via innerHTML. I have a dropdown on my page and when the user changes the input there, I call "doSpryData" and it is supposed to 1) reload XMLDataSet and 2) redraw the Accordion (I would like to have different data displayed on the same page depending on what user selects). For some reason, it will not redraw the accordion and show the data after it has been done once.
I am really desperate so any ideas would be much appreciated!
Cheers,

Accordion Panel content area spacing

Is there a way to apply spacing between the accordion label and the content area below it? It seems that there is no way to separate them and the are flush together by default. I would like to add 20px of spacing between the label and the content below it.

Hi,
Please take a look to this screenshot
Are you referring to this space or did you mean something else.

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,
p.s.

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.

Spry Accordion Image Issue

I have inserted a Spry Accordion in Dreamweaver CS5, however, I'm having issues with the viewing of the tabs on load, on hover, etc. I want a dark blue tab on load, have it change to a wavy red white tab, and when opened go to a dark blue tab with a star. I can never get this to work as I want. I've checked the image files and they are labeled correctly. The test site is www.sbcvote.us/index_spry.html
I am a novice, and really have a hard time on this issue, that no doubt is not that complicated to those that know.
Thank you in advance for your help.
On my index page I have the css page reference.
<link href="/SpryAssets/SpryAccordion.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
the css code is:
.AccordionPanelTab {
border-top: solid 1px black;
border-bottom: solid 1px gray;
margin: 0px;
padding: 2px;
cursor: pointer;
-moz-user-select: none;

Thank you so very much, I appreciate the quick response. However, I still have one small issue. For some unknown reason the bluestar tab does not show the star. It shows the tab, but no star. I've got it labeled correctly and it's pointing to the correct files, but I get the blue by itself. I know it must be a very simple solution and I must be doing something incorrect.
the files are under:
images/accordion/accordion_tabs_bluestar.jpg, and accordion_tabs_redwhite.jpg. The redwhite shows up. This is driving me nuts! I even went back and re-did the image file and saved it again, but all I get is the blue without the star. Can it be that the image is too big and cutting off the star that is to the right of it?
Thank you so much, I do greatly appreciate your kind help.
the other one is
The code was copied and pasted exactly as was suggested. There is no other blue tab file on the server, so I am confused just a bit.
Thanks again for helping an newbie, I appreciate it.

Thanks Gramps, that information was really helpful.
I just removed all instances of 'rgba' in the .css rules that specify color, changing it to 'rgb' and also removing the 4th parameter indicating the transparency value.
Now that I understand what the problem was it actually makes complete sense, since IE does not support transparency.
Thanks again.
