Problem to Spry - Jquery - Onclick

Hello everyone,
I have a problem with the onclick event that calls a function to populate a div jquery (Wishlist).
The onclick event is in a Spry repeat that grabs data from an XML.
In this example (http://beta.baybarb.com/test.asp) you can see two areas, one static with the onClick event on the image "wishlist" that works and fills the div with the data using jquery.
The second zone is a dynamic area where the event is not working onClick = "return false" that populates the div's Wishlist. Logically, if I raise the onclick event calls the ASP page that processes and then returns data to populate the div.
Solutions? how can I work around the problem
Thanks

did you ever solve this? I'm looking too...

Adobe Spry jQuery conflict in Text Field validation.

I am using Adobe Spry for my form validation, and jQuery for hiding / showing elements on a page based on responses to questions. jQuery works fine for this for me. Where I am having a problem is using jQuery to take the value of one input and enter it into a second input text field with after adding a year to it.
Adobe Spry is always validating the fields an enforcing the date to be in the correct format mm/dd/yyyy.
jQuery will only work if I remove the script reference to SpryValidationTextField.js   it is 1.6.1 v.37
Has anyone ever seen this and can help me. Everything works fine independently, but will not play together.
Here is a link to the page on the site.

Hi Arnout,
I removed the no conflict, because when the block of code below was loaded after it, it would not work.
What is supposed to happen is what ever date is entered into the Effective Date, the Expiration Date should populate with the same date + 1 year.
Thanks,
Joe
For some reason this script block is never executed:
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){
$(function() {
    $('#EffectiveDate').change(function () {
        var parts = $(this).val().split('/');
        var date = new Date(parseInt(parts[2], 10), parseInt(parts[0], 10) - 1, parseInt(parts[1], 10));
        date.setFullYear(date.getFullYear() + 1);
        $('#ExpirationDate').val(isNaN(date.getFullYear()) ? '' : formatDate(date));
function formatDate(date) {
    var day = date.getDate();
    var month = date.getMonth() + 1;
    var year = date.getFullYear();
    return (month < 10 ? '0' : '') + month + '/' + (day < 10 ? '0' : '') + day + '/' + year;
</script>
What I would suggest is fixing your page first, it does not really validate and give some "nasty" errors:

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...

Problems with spry accordian widget in CS5

I am updating a client's website and am having problems with the spry accordian widget. I read that it has been replaced with jQuery in the latest version and am told I can modify my existing spry widgets but cannot add new ones. In trying to modify the existing widget I get error alerts. I guess adding a new accordian tab is not considered a modification of the existing widget. I only have CS5 version of DW. What to do? Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi Patricia,
you with your CS5 can continue to use the spry accordian widget BUT it's inopportune. I quote from different contributions of the forum: "Spry has been deprecated and is no longer officially supported by Adobe", “Adobe abandoned Spry late last year after CS6 came out. Future products will probably not contain any Spry so learning to use jQuery is a valuable skill to have for the future.” So I/we recommend you to switch to a jQuery library for your further requirements."
You may have a look here: http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex17/ddaccordionmenu.htm, where you will find a wide range of different menus.
On the other hand - to become closer with your problem - you could send us the link to your website in question.

AIR: Problem with Spry Repeat and JavaScript Action

Hi there,
I've tried to convert my Spry Intranet application to AIR but
there are some issues with my "hacky" JavaScript function calls.
AIR does not allow to execute them. How can i solve that problem?
It seems to that AIR Runtime don't like the generated Functions by
Spry:repeat.
code:
<div spry:repeat="banCategory" id="{ban_cat_name}"
class="{ban_cat_name}"> <img src="pic/{ban_cat_icon}.png"
/> {ban_cat_name}, {ban_cat_colorcode}, {ban_cat_icon} <a
href="#" onclick="editCat('{ban_cat_id}')">edit </a>|<a
href="#" onclick="removeCat('{ban_cat_id}')"> remove</a>
</div>
</div>

Which version of Spry are you using?
We made changes in 1.6.1 specifically for AIR compatibility.
Have you seen this?

Problem with spry:select not selecting

I am having trouble getting the spry:select to work on the
following code. Everything works except for the spry:select. If I
remove the spry:hover and the spry:sort, then the spry:select will
work. The only way I can get the spry:select to work is if it is
the only spry statement in the <td>. Please help.
NON-WORKING SPRY:SELECT CODE:
<div spry:region="pv1">
Records {ds_PageFirstItemNumber}-{ds_PageLastItemNumber} of
{ds_PageTotalItemCount}
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0"
width="100%">
<tr>
<td class="tableheader" style="cursor:pointer;"
spry:select="tableheaderSel" spry:hover="tableheaderSel"
spry:sort="airport_code">Airport</td>

<input type="button" value="First"
onClick="pv1.firstPage();" />
<input type="button" value="Prev"
onClick="pv1.previousPage();" />
</div>
</div>

When you use a spry:sort, you are sorting the data set and
the entire region is redrawn. This wipes out the spry:select. This
happens to the select, no matter where it is.
The way to highlight the currently selected column is a bit
tedious. You will have to have a spry:if that checked the value of
{ds_SortColumn}. This means repeating the <TD> for each
condition.
It's a sub-optimal solution but we don't have attribute level
control.
However, we do have some tools and enhancements coming up
that should make this easier. But they are not ready yet, so...
http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/samples/data_region/DataSetMasterDetailSample.html
has an example of how we use spry:if to conditionally put on
an attribute.

Problem Previewing Spry in Browser

Hi,
I've been following the Adobe online tutorials, and I'm
failing miserably with Spry. Even the pre-worked, finished example
files will not display properly in Internet Explorer 7. I refer to
the files regarding "Using the Spry Framework for Ajax" and "Using
Spry Widgets". In both cases, an XML file called Events.XML is used
to supply the bound data.
This is the error message I get when I view in Internet
Explorer 7:
Exception caught while loading events.xml: [object Error]
Am I missing something? I have used bound databases before
with ASPs, but I feel like I'm missing something fundamental.
If anyone has any ideas what could be causing this I would be
grateful. I'm not very confident with it otherwise.
Many thanks,
Karen.

I have inserted a spry collapsible panel into my website, made ZERO
adjustments to any of the scripting or even css styling
That is good, that means that I have a local copy of the scripting and css files eliminating the need to attach the code to a post.
Is something wrong with the js file? I tried the panel earlier on a
different site on the same computer and it was working fine
The fact that it works on a different site means that something is correct. My assumption is that the scripting and css files are doing their job correctly and to answer your question regarding the js file, no.
Having eliminated the Spry original JavaScript and CSS files as being the culprits, there must be a problem with the rest of the site, incorrect HTML, other interfering JavaScript or CSS.
I can keep guessing, but only those persons that are privy to your code can give you any positive input. Please find a way to upload your files so that we can see the code in context.
To this end, screen captures do not assist in solving the problem, they only add to others' amusement at seeing the problem.

Problem with Spry Menu Bar 2.0 (1.0) re - CSS

Hello:
I am having some difficulty with a Spry Menu Bar (horizontal) 2.0 (1.0) that I have created. Initially I thought the problem was with regard to rendering issues on IE 6.0, however the problem seems to be more general than that and I have come to believe that it has to do with the CSS created by the Widget Browser and modified once imported into the webpage. Hence I have elected to post my issue here rather than on the spry page.
I have relied on the tutorial provided by David Powers (Bayside.css) and in addition other documentation regarding the Spry menu bar UI. The problem appeared to be one of IE 6 rendering the page with a gap that is created when the drop down menus appear, thus pushing down any divs that appear below the page.
However, through a painstaking process of trial and error my problem now seems to be that when I export the CSS generated by the widget browser to an external style sheet (the general style sheet governing the whole site), it conflicts with other CSS styles regarding links etc. The end result is that all the padding, background colours, background images, and text colours are lost. So long as the CSS remains within the head this doesn't happen.
My thinking is that this must have to do with issues of specificity, inheritence, etc.
The site can be viewed at the following URL: http://www.aclco.org/testing/index.html. In its current form all CSS related to the menu bar is found in the head of each page. (see CSS below).
My question is can I establish a separate style sheet for the horizontal menu bar and have those styles applied specifically (and only) to the menu bar. My only other alternative is to work through the remainder of the general style sheet and work through any issues of specificity/inheritance -- which may be the "best" practice, but it risks causing other "cascading" [sic] problems elsewhere.
Any advice or suggestions or directed reading (that would point to a solution) that could be offered would be greatly appreciated.
Steve Webster
The CSS governing the horizontal menu bar is as follows: (currently the following CSS is embedded in the head of the web page)
<style type="text/css">
/* -- Begins Spry Menu Widget 2.0 (1.0) Horizontal menu bar Custom styles -- */
/* BeginOAWidget_Instance_2141544: #MenuBar */
/* Settable values for skinning a Basic menu via presets. If presets are not sufficient, most skinning should be done in
    these rules, with the exception of the images used for down or right pointing arrows, which are in the file SpryMenuBasic.css
     These assume the following widget classes for menu layout (set in a preset)
    .MenuBar - Applies to all menubars - default is horizontal bar, all submenus are vertical - 2nd level subs and beyond are pull-right.
    .MenuBarVertical - vertical main bar; all submenus are pull-right.
    You can also pass in extra classnames to set your desired top level menu bar layout. Normally, these are set by using a preset.
    They only apply to horizontal menu bars:
        MenuBarLeftShrink - The menu bar will be horizontally 'shrinkwrapped' to be just large enough to hold its items, and left aligned
        MenuBarRightShrink - Just like MenuBarLeftShrink, but right aligned
        MenuBarFixedLeft - Fixed at a specified width set in the rule '.MenuBarFixedLeft', and left aligned.
        MenuBarFixedCentered - - Fixed at a specified width set in the rule '.MenuBarFixedCentered',
                        and centered in its parent container.
        MenuBarFullwidth - Grows to fill its parent container width.
    In general, all rules specified in this file are prefixed by #MenuBar so they only apply to instances of the widget inserted along
    with the rules. This permits use of multiple MenuBarBasic widgets on the same page with different layouts. Because of IE6 limitations,
    there are a few rules where this was not possible. Those rules are so noted in comments.
#MenuBar {
    background-color:transparent;
    font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; /* Specify fonts on on MenuBar and subMenu MenuItemContainer, so MenuItemContainer,
                                                MenuItem, and MenuItemLabel
                                                at a given level all use same definition for ems.
                                                Note that this means the size is also inherited to child submenus,
                                                so use caution in using relative sizes other than

/* IE6 rules - you can delete these if you do not want to support IE6 */
/* A note about multiple classes in IE6.
* Some of the rules above use multiple class names on an element for selection, such as "hover" (MenuItemHover) and "has a subMenu" (MenuItemWithSubMenu),
* giving the selector '.MenuItemWithSubMenu.MenuItemHover'.
* Unfortunately IE6 does not support using mutiple classnames in a selector for an element. For a selector such as '.foo.bar.baz', IE6 ignores
* all but the final classname (here, '.baz'), and sets the specificity accordingly, counting just one of those classs as significant. To get around this
* problem, we use the plugin in SpryMenuBarIEWorkaroundsPlugin.js to generate compound classnames for IE6, such as 'MenuItemWithSubMenuHover'.
* Since there are a lot of these needed, the plugin does not generate the extra classes for modern browsers, and we use the CSS2 style mutltiple class
* syntax for that. Since IE6 both applies rules where
* it should not, and gets the specificity wrong too, we have to order rules carefully, so the rule misapplied in IE6 can be overridden.
* So, we put the multiple class rule first. IE6 will mistakenly apply this rule. We follow this with the single-class rule that it would
* mistakenly override, making sure the misinterpreted IE6 specificity is the same as the single-class selector, so the latter wins.
* We then create a copy of the multiple class rule, adding a '.SpryIsIE6' class as context, and making sure the specificity for
* the selector is high enough to beat the single-class rule in the "both classes match" case. We place the IE6 rule at the end of the
* css style block to make it easy to delete if you want to drop IE6 support.
* If you decide you do not need IE6 support, you can get rid of these, as well as the inclusion of the SpryMenuBarIEWorkaroundsPlugin.js script.
* The 'SpryIsIE6' class is placed on the HTML element by the script in SpryMenuBarIEWorkaroundsPlugin.js if the browser is Internet Explorer 6. This avoids the necessity of IE conditional comments for these rules.

Hello Martin:
Thanks for your input. However I am not certain we have resolved this issue adequately, or understand the principles governing the css as regards this spry menu framework 2.0 (1.0).
For example, the menu only works in IE 6.0 if the css remains in the head. I agree with your original post that it shouldn't make any difference whether the css is posted in the head or in a separate style sheet (so long as specificity issues are addressed). Both should work -- and yet it doesn't.
If the CSS is placed in the separate style sheet governing the total site, it doesn't work for 6.0. If placed at the top of the style sheet, conflicts of specificity prevent the menu from rendering properly in any of the browsers causing the rules for general links to govern the menu.   This has been verified using a cross browser testing. If the styles are placed at the bottom of the style sheet to help them take precedence, they work in all the browsers except for IE 6.
The website I am building needs to support IE 6 for a variety of reasons, and because it is catering to the non-profit community and to low income persons, I am mindful of even small differences in page weight.
So for me, at least, the issue remains baffling.
I appreciate your input, but also would appreciate the input from others, and especially Adobe Community Professionals and employees. The spry framework in this regard is not well documented. I am not certain if this is exclusively a CSS problem, if it might also be complicated by the architecture of the spry framework, or if indeed other variables are at play.
I would be my hope that in resolving the problem, other users of the this particular spry framework might also benefit.
Thanks,
Steve.

Css problem in spry gallery demo, ie "doubled margin" for thumbnails

http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/demos/gallery/
View page in both Firefox and IE6. Note that in Internet
Explorer (Windows), the margin on the left is double that of the
same in Firefox. This is a well-documented IE CSS issue that occurs
when a floated element also has margin set on the side to which it
is floated, as in float:left; margin:5px;
It's an issue when the margin is such that it causes wrapping
within the thumbnails parent container... in IE browsers.
Add display:inline to the #thumbnails div rule to correct the
problem.
Just FYI.
Donna Casey

Thanks Donna! The fix will appear in the next drop.

Note that running your page through the W3C Validator gives this list of errors: http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.bataviabulldogfootball.tk%2F&charset=%2 8detect+automatically%29&doctype=Inline&group=0
I see that you have a very thin doctype at the top. I suggest you create a new page in Dreamweaver and copy the bit at the top of the page:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
Then put that code in place of these lines from your current page:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8" />
I see that you have two opening <body> tags. Delete one; it is not needed. Add the preload images from the second into the first body tag and delete the second.
I see code below the closing </html> tag. Re position it before the closing </body> tag.
Because of these errors mentioned above, it was impossible to see the page. Fix and reply here when you have done so.
Also, it is not possible for me to divine what difficulty you are having. If you can please also express it in English (LOL), I'll be happy to suggest a correction for you!

Colour problem with Spry Accordion

Hi, I'm trying to create a website with a spry accordion. I've had some trouble with it (as I'm not good at CSS, it's new to me) and I've solved them all except for one: a problem with the colour of the bar when the section is open.
This is my website: http://s313354774.mialojamiento.es/saibe/design3/Publish/INICI.html
When the menu is closed everything is ok, but when you open it then the colour changes, making a gradation between the new colour and the original one. I've checked the stylesheet and there the original colour doesn't appear anywhere, so it's wierd to me.
Does anyone know why is it happenning? If i'ts because something stupid forgive me, as I told you this is quite new to me and I'm trying to learn day by day.
Sergi

Segi,
This one has got me stumped. If I copy your SpryAccordion.css and apply my copy to the document, there is no problem. Have a look here http://pleysier.com.au/sergi/
I know this will not help except to say, that if you change
<link href="SpryAssets/SpryAccordion.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
to
<link href="http://pleysier.com.au/SpryAccordion.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
see what happens.

Xmlhttprequest.open problem using spry

Hello
I am having problems displaying xml data that is stored on a
different server. Everything works fine on developing stage but as
i test it i get an error telling me :
Exception caught while loading
http://www.somesite.com/some.xml:
Permission denied to call method XMLHttpRequest.open
I searched the internet for the solution and found only that
the problem seems to be in the browser security level.
Could someone advise me on this,
Thanks

Hi,
Add the spry:if to the tr row tag where you have the repeating rows
<tr spry:repeat="dsSpecials" spry:if="....">
Structure of table tags looks fine
Regards
Phil

Odd problems with Spry features

I have finished a site at
http://www.magnoliaparkburbank.org
that uses many Spry features such as autosuggest, master-detail
regions and css classes built into the xml files. The site has been
developed on a Mac but I have a BrowserCam account with remote
access so I can test the site on multiple platforms and browsers.
My client is reporting odd behavior on some of the features.
Particularly problematic is the store directory section. When the
user clicks on "Neighborhood Directory" a pop up window opens with
an html page that is mostly Spry driven. The client is reporting
problems in the select menu (not all categories showing up) I have
worked hard on the autosuggest feature with the help of Donald and
Kinblas. The auto-suggest seems to work sometimes and not at other
times. The user is supposed to be able to type the complete store
name or part of the store name to see the address and phone number
of that particular store. If the user wants to search again he
clicks the search again and the fields are cleared. Sometimes
things just seems to get stuck. There is also a problem in some
browsers (Firefox) that does not allow the user to return to the
parent window. I am looking for some feedback, suggestions and/or
advice on the useability of this site. This is all complicated by
the fact that the bulk of the site is in Flash including the call
to open the browser window for the store directory.
Thank you so much for any help!

Hi Marlene,
The close window problem is due to the IE hack
window.opener='x' that you have in the href of your close window
link. If you are trying to figure out how to prevent IE from
prompting the user to see if it is ok to close the window
programatically, do a net search on "window.opener='x'" and you'll
see some pages that discuss a way of using openWindow to trick IE
into not prompting the user based on the window name ... I believe
the discussion centers around how that also works for other
browsers like FF, etc.
Regarding your auto-suggest problems, we'll need specifics
from you as to what isn't working properly, what browser and
platform, and what your expectations are in specific situations.
For example what is your expectation when your user types in
"siren" and hits return? etc.

Problem applying Spry tool tips to child pages because the head tag is in a locked region

I’m new to DW and migrating a site from GoLive CS2 to DW CS5. The site uses templates created in GL CS2. I have stripped out as much GL stuff as possible.
I want to use the SPRY tooltips as a way to show captions for graphics that are on some of the pages (I used to use an Open New Browser window for that but I don’t have as much control in DW as I did in GL). But when I try to apply SPRY tooltips (or any SPRY widget for that matter) I get the following message:
“Required links could not be added to this file because the <head> tag is in a locked region. To insert this content, open the template file ‘xyz.dwt’ and either unlock the <head> tag or add this content to the template.”
I am not sure how to go about solving this problem. In the template there is an editable region for adding graphics but in the template itself there are no graphics or anything else to apply a tooltip too. Also in the child pages there may be more than one place to use a tooltip. So that suggests to me that I should not add a tooltip to the template. That brings me to the other option.
How would I go about unlocking the <head> tag in the template, without messing everything up?
Or, should I detach any page from the template when I want to add tooltips then reapply the template? I am planning to ditch the GL template anyway and apply a DW template to all the pages anyway.
Any suggestions as to what I should do?
Yours faithfully
Branko
PS I’m using Mac with Snow Leopard.

I found a solution.
I just made a transparent PNG. Put it in an inconspicuous part of the template. On the child page I could make as many copies as I needed making sure I provided id tags for each use etc.
