Scrollbox within an accordion widget

How can i put my looong list of brands in a scrollbox within my accordian widget, and still keep the linebraks and links to every brand?

Hi Kimberly,
I will have to give it a try still with the box text.
I'm also having difficulty finding answers for the questions below. I don't mean to bombard you with them I posted them on the forum but haven't any responses. Would you be willing to try and help with them, if you don't mind?
Thank you,
Lee
1. How to create a download link for a PDF?
2. How to create scroll bars for overflow text? (For this one how would I do this within an accordion and tabbed widget as well?)
3. How to animate objects and text?
4. How to add sound?
5. How to create a downloadable link for purchasing an mp3? (also, is there a free mp3 player widget that anyone may know about that works?)
6. How do you set up the Paypal widget to have payments go into an account? (I understand how to make a Paypal account and how to insert the widget but am new to selling online.)

Spry Accordion widget

Have a Dreamweaver question about the Spry Accordion widget.
I am designing a website for a real estate company. I will have different pages set up as a state page with a sub-level of cities within the page. I am using the accordion widget for the cities. As you know, you click on the panel tab and the next panel drops up or down closing/opening the previous panel.
What I would like to do is add an action anchor (view all properties) outside the spry widget to open all the panels at once if a client wanted to see the entire list. However, I would still want the functionality of the panels to be collapsible. Is this possible? Is there a bit of code restructuring I would have to do to the JavaScript?

Try
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Untitled Document</title>
<link href="SpryAssets/SpryAccordion.css" rel="stylesheet">
<style>
.openit .AccordionPanelContent {
display: block !important;
overflow: visible !important;
height: auto !important;
</style>
</head>
<body>
<a href="#" class="openAll">open all</a> - <a href="#" class="closeAll">close all</a>
<div id="Accordion1" class="Accordion" tabindex="0">
<div class="AccordionPanel">
    <div class="AccordionPanelTab">Label 1</div>
    <div class="AccordionPanelContent">Content 1</div>
</div>
<div class="AccordionPanel">
    <div class="AccordionPanelTab">Label 2</div>
    <div class="AccordionPanelContent">Content 2</div>
</div>
</div>
<script src="SpryAssets/SpryAccordion.js"></script>
<script src="SpryAssets/SpryDomUtils.js"></script>
<script>
function MyOpenAllEventHandler() {
    Spry.$$("#Accordion1").addClassName("openit");
function MyCloseAllEventHandler() {
    Spry.$$("#Accordion1").removeClassName("openit");
Spry.$$(".openAll").addEventListener("click" , MyOpenAllEventHandler, false);
Spry.$$(".closeAll").addEventListener("click" , MyCloseAllEventHandler, false);
var Accordion1 = new Spry.Widget.Accordion("Accordion1");
</script>
</body>
</html>
The "!important" on these rules is necessary because the Accordion widget places inline styles on the actual AccordionPanelContent elements when opening and closing them. Since inline styles have a higher CSS specificity then CSS class rules, "!important" is necessary to "trump" the inline styles.

Accordion widget and audio

Using CP 7, I am trying the accordion widget for the first time, and I have it working rather nicely. Then I added audio to each of the options, to accompany the text that is revealed when the option is chosen, so that as each option is selected, and its text appears, the specific audio would play. That makes sense and that is how I would expect it to work. However, as soon as the screen loads one audio plays, and none of the audio clips play when their option is chosen.
Is this really the way it works? I would expect no audio until the user clicks one of the options, and then that audio would play. The way it is working for me makes no sense. Why have an audio icon for each content area (under each accordion option) if they don't play when the user opens that option?
As I created content for each of the options, I added an audio clip, using the audio icon specific to each accordion option. But it appears that only one audio is being used for the entire accordion.
I read through the string about problems with audio and the accordion, but that issue was different from this.
The way this is working now is not acceptable, and I will need to throw away everything I have done so far and start over if I can't make this work.

I just tried it in Windows with exactly the same behavior.
Can someone confirm how this is supposed to work? Logically, when a user selects one of the accordion options, and the option expands to show the text within it, then the associated audio should play. In the image below, you see the audio icon associated with the content for one option. However, in the documentation I found it is very vague about what the audio is assicated with. If the audio is just associated with the entire object, then the interface below is misleading at best.

Accordion widget Bug: Accordion deactivates all hyperlinks below widget when opened

A placed accordion widget in a master page with foreground order deactivates all hyperlinks under the accordion widget.

This seems to happen when you enable the Can Close All / Overlap Items below options while the Accordion is placed on Master Foreground and the link is right below it on a content page (but within the Accordions span). The workaround would be to either move the Accordion to Master Background or move the link under the Accordion to be outside its span (when opened) or disable the Overlap Items below option.
Thanks,

Apologies in advance if I'm asking a daft question!!

Hi,
using your source code, I couldn't find a really inserted "Spry Accordion". If I do that (translated from german DW) > Insert > Spry > Spry Accordion, I'll find in my DW source code something like that:
<div id="Accordion1" class="Accordion" tabindex="0">
    <div class="AccordionPanel">
      <div class="AccordionPanelTab">Bezeichnung 1</div>

    <div class="AccordionPanel">
      <div class="AccordionPanelTab">Bezeichnung 2</div>

Welcome to the Forum!
If you can upload your page to a server and give us a link, we will be able to look at your page in action. Just seeing the code is not enough.
Is this the first time you have used an Accordion? It is probable that the bright neon blue you are seeing is the default style, which you can change in the CSS file. I believe it was designed that color to highlight the feature you want to change .
Take a look in the Accordion's CSS file (it will show as an associated file at the top of your document window) for color rules, and adjust them to suit your palette (and your palate!). Check out the CSS Styles Panel (use Current mode) for a handy way to know what you are looking at. Click on the Accordion in Design View and the rules will be highlighted in the CSS Styles Panel. (Click the right-hand stair-step icon to see the style cascade.)

Spry Accordion Widget Behavior

I am using Dreamweaver CS3 and several Spry components. I am new to using Spry, but like how easy it is to impliment. One of the components I am trying to use is the Accordion Widget. The widget appears to function well (I am using variable panel heights) and the behavior appears as designed.
I am using the panel containers to list links to additional pages based on subject groups.
My question involves moving back and forth from the widget page to a listed pages, then back to the widget page.
The behavior I see is:
1)      User loads widget page, widget panel 1 is expanded onload.
2)      User expands different panel.
3)      User clicks URL link within different panel.
4)      User moves to new page (referenced URL page).
5)      User reviews content, decides it is not appropriate and wants to select another URL.
6)      User clicks the browser “back” button and returns to the widget page.
7)      Widget page onload returns to expanded panel 1.
Is there a way for me to tweak the JavaScript so that the user returns to the expanded panel they left rather that panel 1? Is panel 1 always going to be the panel that opens on page load? (Unless I have the settings set to no expanded panes on page load.)
Thanke you for any suggestions.

Greetings Arnout,
Sorry for the late reply. (Side-tracked with other work.)
I have a "outside-the-firewall" review area almost complete if you still have time to look at my code.
After testing several browsers and 2 platforms I have found that my problem is likely not with your code at all, but with small modifications that I have had to do to it. For example, I will need to have 2 separate Accordion blocks on the page I am developing.
When I drop Dreamweaver generated Spry code into the page the <div class="Accordion" ID="Accordion1"> is created (which suits my future needs, the additional block will have <div class="Accordion" ID="Accordion2">. I noticed that your code uses <div class="Accordion" ID="sampleAccordion">.
If I go through the cookie code and change all references of "sampleAccordion" to "Accordion1" the code breaks. I am missing something and haven't been able to find it.
Additionally, I noticed something odd when testing the widget. When testing using a Mac (Safari and Firefox) it appeared I didn't need the cookie code at all. The unmodified Dreamweaver Spry code appeared to hold the value of the launch panel when I moved from my launch page, to my receiver page, then back to my launch page.
This wasn't the case with Windows IE and Firefox. IE 6 appears broken onLoad, IE 8 and Firefox breaks when I go back to the launch page from the receiver page. Very odd behaviors. Tonight I will load your original code on a test page and add testing notes so that I have a "control".
The URL for the (several) test pages is: http://tim.kern.home.comcast.net/~tim.kern/
If you have any suggestions (for modifying the cookie code to work with more than one widget on a page) I would certainly appreciat them.
Thank you very much for the original code.

Re-Size Each Panel of Accordion Widget Independently

I would like to have varying widths on the panels listed below my Accordion Widget tabs. For example. I have a lot of content in one tab so I need it to expand farther left than other tabs that have less information.
Thank you in advance for your help!

Take a look at this thread in regards to adjusting the width of the Accordion widget - http://forums.adobe.com/message/5140254.
The width of the Content Area within an Accordion panel would dictate the overall width of the Accordion and would remain consistent for each tab within the Accordion.
Thanks,
Vinayak

Spry Accordion widget Question

Have a Dreamweaver question about the Spry Accordion widget.
I am designing a website for a real estate company. I will have different pages set up as a state page with a sub-level of cities within the page. I am using the accordion widget for the cities. As you know, you click on the panel tab and the next panel drops up or down closing/opening the previous panel.
What I would like to do is add an action anchor (view all properties) outside the spry widget to open all the panels at once if a client wanted to see the entire list. However, I would still want the functionality of the panels to be collapsible. Is this possible? Is there a bit of code I would have to add to the JavaScript?
Is there a genius out there that can hook me up with some knowledge?

I actually did away with the accordian widget and went a different route. It was too glitchy. Thanks for your input though. I will take note of the suggestions you provided and maybe try it out one day.

All time Bug! Accordion widget does not retain content position as in design view

I have noticed that content placed inside an accordion widget that is stretched to fill browser width do not retain the position of its elements. This is very annoying as ones layout does not look right and balanced across screen.

That was it KathH --- THANKS!!!
Had created the row w/out <td> cells to carry the top banner (sort of cheating) on spanning the cells i guess ( )
Anyway, re-wrote so that the banner table was independant and did not require span and picked up the data table independantly.
Problem solved and designer picked up the image precisely.
Thanks again!!!
Curious though that the image is dependant on the <td> tag. I would have expected any image called within the page to display in the designer regardless of location in the html.
Oh well, fixed and onto the next challenge.
Once more THANKS!!!

Problem with accordion widget flashing open and shut when page loads

why is it that my accordion widget flashes open and shut when the page is loading (see http://vincentballmusewebsite2013test.businesscatalyst.com/digital-illustration.html#.UVDr Ehx7JyII) have tried everything to solve this, and Adobes customer service is terrible they don't get back to you when they say they will.
Please help me someone,
Thanks

Thank you Zak for your help, I spent 5 hours going round in circles trying to fix that problem and that's all I needed to hear, a bit of honesty and integrity.and yes, Adobes terrible customer service has still not got back to after promising 2 level technical support to contact me last Monday, I wish there'd keep their promise
Pamela, did you try my test website or my own website and if so my own has now no accordion widget on it and my test website may need you to try loading a few times to see if it really works or not, sometimes it does actually work even on a pc but most times not.
thanks for you help too.

Open an accordion widget in the closed state?

I have searched the forums but have yet to find a resolution
for this issue. I am using an accordion widget and would like for
all of my panels to appear closed when the page initially loads.
Only once the user has clicked the tab do I want the panels to
open. Any suggestions that do not require me to buy a separate plug
in? Thanks.

This is directly from the Adobe documentation:
http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/samples/accordion/AccordionSample.html#AllPanelsCl osed
However, one thing to keep in mind is that this is assuming
that you are using the 1.6.1 update (as that is what the references
refer to). If you have never updated your Spry this would be a good
opportunity to do so. The below is the to the official Spry
homepage. There you will find the update package which includes
some samples and an Extension. Install the extension and restart
DW. Then under the Sites menu you will see a new option to update
Spry. Run that script and your Spry will be updated. Also on that
homepage is a link to the official Spry forums:

Is there a way to force a user to view all of Accordion Widget?

Is there a way to force a user to read, or at least view,
all sections of the Accordion Widget? We want to make sure the learner reads
all of the material before advancing to the next slide. Is there a way to do
this? I have searched all over, but I have been unable to find.

No way. This is a static learning interaction, no event that could be used eventually. Personally I prefer offering reading material that is engaging over looking for a way to push the learner to look (reading doesn't mean he understands or grabs it) at all the stuff. But that is my teacher's past, if student doesn't read your stuff, something is wrong with the stuff, not with the student.
If you have to force, you'll have to find another way than the accordion interaction .

How do I add a new panel to the accordion widget in-between two others (NOT at the end)

In the accordion widget, the + button at the bottom adds a new panel to the end. I have a series of panels that are in alpha-sort and need to add a new panel in the middle... I can't figure out how to do it without re-doing the whole thing. is there a way to do this?

Gah! Thanks Mac.
That was the first thing I tried! I must not have had the right level selected. It's been driving me batty, but I've got it now.

How do I navigate from a hyperlink on one page to an anchor within the tab widget?

Hi guys can you please assist me with that issue I am describing in the question: How do I navigate from a hyperlink on one page to an anchor within the tab widget? I assume that it is not working because the tab widget is truly just on one page and anchors work within a page but not a specific tab. Is there a way around that?
Thanks.

an interesting question. Anchors work across pages (global) without any problem. Do they work within tabs or any other widgets I haven't tried, but it looks like you have and without success. I can see the temptation for doing this, but if you think about it why would you? Set the anchor on the page next to the tab(s) and hey presto the user needs only click the tab to which the hperlink refers, nothing could be more convenient! Of course, if the user cannot relate the tab to the hyperlink there's a problem. Generally solved by titling (like if the hyperlink is cats, the tab should preferably read cats and not dogs)! It's the only work around i can think of. Hope it helps.
