Sliding panels all visible. Help!

OK- I just can't figure this one out. I am a first timer with the spry widgets not built into Dreamweaver. I've added a sliding panel widget, I want to break a story into two parts without adding a second page. When I open in a browser, both panels are visible. I don't know what I'm missing. Help.

Still have not come up with workable solution for what I am trying to do. It looks like my problem is I am trying to make the box size on the sliding panels container elastic, so it looks like my text on other pages. But, when I set it up so it gets bigger to include all the text, it includes the text on all the panels, not just one. When I set it with the width "auto" and a px height, sometimes it includes the right amount of text and sometimes it doesn't. probelm is the varying screen sizes.
So, it is true, then, that the size of the sliding panel container MUST match the size of the sliding panel content, and be fixed?
If so, it will never do what I am trying to get it to do. I guess I'd be better off playing with an accordian panel, to see if I can get close to the look I want there.
Thanks!

Spry sliding panels problem

Hi,
I'm using the sliding panels on my website, but I'm getting
an error when I use a vertical scrollbar.
To the right of the sliding panels I have an image, and when
I press the up and down arrows, the hidden sliding panels are
visible under the image!
Any ideas?

AS 2 sliding panel - AS 3 sliding panel help

hey all,
i was using a script to animate some site content with a
sliding panel easing effect in AS 2, but when i try to run the
script in AS 3 it doesn't work. is there a way to convert this to
AS 3 quickly?
baseRate = 3.5;
difference = _parent.targetx - _parent.panel._x;
rate = difference / baseRate
_parent.panel._x += rate;
if this doesn't convert to AS 3, does anyone know of a good
easing formula in flash 9?
thanks for the help!

I forgot to mention that I put some test pages which
demonstrate the panels outside the table structure.
just the sliding panels:
http://www.rightonstudio.com/client/staging/jenko/chelsea/html/testimonials2.html
and with a table on top for the header section, divs in the
middle for the panels, and table on the bottom for the footer
section. This works but the alignment is all off in IE6,7 but not
in Safari and a little off in FF. :

Sliding Panels Help for Javascript Idiot

I have a simple thumbnail gallery to which I am attempting to
apply the Spry Sliding Panels widget. I am creating the gallery
from an xml file, and this seems to be working fine.
I looked at the code of the Sliding Panels examples, but
being the Spry and javascript idiot that I am, I was not able to
incorporate the Sliding Panels successfully. Would someone mind
taking a look at my code and perhaps commenting about how I would
go about adding the sliding panel? I would appreciate it.
P.s., I currently have 5 thumbnails visible. I would like to
slide to the next 5 on the click of the arrows that are included.
Here is the code, without any of my failed attempts at SP
included:

<div id="thumbsmask">
<div id="thumbsbox" spry:region="dsPhotos dsGalleries
dsGallery">
<div id="p{ds_RowNumber}" spry:repeat="dsPhotos">

Having trouble with flash and linking to Sliding panels - PLEASE help

Having trouble with Sliding panels and flash. Otherwise everything works fine but when I'm trying to implement the link
<a href="#" onclick="sp1.showPanel('panel1'); return false;">Panel1</a>
to a flash button I get confused. I have tried following
on (press) {
getURL("javascript:sp1.showPanel('panel1');");
and it did not work. What would you suggest? I am desperate. Please help me! Any suggestions are highly appreciated!!!!

Thanks for your answer!
I have tried both sp1.ShowPanel('panel1'); and window.sp1.ShowPanel('panel1'); they both give blank window with [object]
I have found a solution that works in other browsers, but not in IE. Well basicly it works, but after a few clicks IE freezes.
on (press) {
getURL("javascript:sp1.showPanel('panel1'); void(0);");
Would you happen to have a solution other than that? I believe that the void(0); causes the IE to freeze.

Sliding Panels hidden content shows on page load

Greetings,
I am working on a site for a child abuse prevention
non-profit and need some help asap!
I am using the unobtrusive sliding panels at:
Adobe
Unobtrusive Sliding Panels Example
I have two panels side by side. When the page loads, all of
the hidden content is briefly shown to the right of the panels. It
does this on the adobe sample as well.
Is there ANY way to hide this hidden content during the page
load? If so, could I get exact instructions? I am more of a
front-end person and not the best with scripting.
BTW, all of the content is static so the "Adobe Hiding Data
References During Page Load" does not work in this instance.
Thanks in advance!!

Try this:
1. Set a class that sets visibiliity to hidden:
.hideGroup{visibility:hidden;}
2. Add this class to your content group:
<div class="SlidingPanelsContentGroup hideGroup">
3. Add a line to sp_unobtrusive.js to remove this new class
after the widget made.
Spry.$$(".SlidingPanelsContentGroup").removeClassName("hideGroup");
Add that right under the addEventListener lines.
That should do it.

Possible to have two occurences of sliding panels in same location on page?

Hi, any help you guys could give me would be greatly appreciated.
I'm redesigning my portfolio page, and am trying to use the sliding panels widget for the two gallery areas. Ideally, when you click the links in the Design area on the left side navigation section, a Sliding Panels Content Group containing all the design work slides should appear on the right side of the page. When you click the links in the Illustration area, a Sliding Panels Content Group containing all the illustration work slides should replace the Design group in the exact same location on the page. Similar to links appearing in an iframe, but without having to click links and upload a page in the frame for each image.
I've managed to get the two different Content Groups to both be on the same page at the same time, like is done with the multiple examples at http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/samples/slidingpanels/SlidingPanelsSample.html, but no luck getting a single Content Group to appear and then be replaced by the second group by clicking one of the links to the left.
Here's the page I'm working with, with only one of the Content Groups active:
http://www.susanmeyerart.com/redesign/
eta: I'm working with Spry Pre-Release 1.6.1.

I think you can do this by using Spry Tabbed Panels as your container for the two sets of Sliding Panels. I have not tried this particular nesting before, but if you set up a test page, you can try it out.
Each set of Sliding Panels would appear as content on one of the Tabbed Panels. When each Tabbed Panel Tab is clicked, the corresponding Panel appears, holding your Sliding Panels.
This may not work, but, as they say...you don't know until you try!

Edit JS on spry sliding panels widget to fix auto panel height problem

Hi guys,
Ive been trying for a while to make the sliding panels widget
show each panel in its own height instead of the longest panel's height in the container.
I tried reading all the js file to play with it and find a solution but the truth is i dont know how to do what i want.
I do, however, have a list of things that i believe if implemented should work,
could you help me do these fixes on the js? ( any one you know how to or think will work )
1. edit so that: Panels dont have any height ( or panel content display none ) if it isnt current panel. If current panel is "id:1" the assume class 1 style properties. As soon as it looses focus/"currentpanel" class it looses its class 1 properties. And the new current panel ("id:2") assumes its own class 2 properties. And so on.
2. edit so that: PanelContainer ( the one that holds all the panels ) displays none BUT the current panel. So all panels could be display none unless they assume the "currentpanel" class and so they change to display. Maybe this way the container assumes only the height of the displayed panel and looses it once its no longer displayed assuming the next displayed one.
3. edit so that: Panel container checks for current panel's height and assumes that height instantly ( there is still a panel inside the container that would be longer than the current panel, maybe with overflow hidden this isnt a problem )
4. Using SpryDOMUtils.js I am currently playing with the code pasted below,
the idea came from Gramp's Spry Sliding Panels Group Navigation Buttons cookbook
He addresses a different problem, but since it has to do with identifying the current panel and doing something when the panel is x number, i thought there could be a height property set for each panel when each is the current one, atleast something can be done with this, my problem is i dont know how to set that something. Please check out the following code:
<script>
// The following function - setPanelNavigation() - assumes the following
// 1. Sliding Panels have a class of SlidingPanelsContent AND a unique ID
// 2. The Previous Panel button has an ID of previousPanel
// 3. The Next Panel button has an ID of nextPanel
// 4. SpryDOMUtils.js has been linked
function setPanelNavigation() {
    var current = sp1.getCurrentPanel(); // Get the current panel
    var panelCount = sp1.getContentPanelsCount(); // Get the total number of panels
    var panelNumber=1; // Give a value to the first panel number
    Spry.$$(".SlidingPanelsContent").forEach(function(node) { // Cycle through the panels
                 if (node.id==current.id){ // The current panel now receives a number
         if ( panelNumber==1 ) Spry.$$(".SlidingPanelsContentGroup").setAttribute('height', 750); //
           if ( panelNumber==2 ) Spry.$$(".SlidingPanelsContentGroup").setAttribute('height', 250); //
        panelNumber++; // Go to next panel after incrementing the count
Spry.Utils.addLoadListener(setPanelNavigation); // Set buttons to initial value
var sp1 = new Spry.Widget.SlidingPanels("panelwidget");
</script>

Background image instead of color for each sliding panel

I'm working with sliding panels and trying to add some style to the page. I have figured out how to put a different background color on each slide and even how to put a background image on the whole thing, but I cannot figure out how to use multiple images (one for each pannel). When I put the images in place of the colors it works fine in the Dreamweaver screen but totally disapears in a web browser. Here is the url:    http://www.centerofdiscovery.com/the_center_of_discovery_home_page.html
any help would be great!

Regarding getting the tabs to sit on top of the content panel, speaking generally here, make the containing div for both the tabs and the content panel to have a margin: 0 auto; setting.This is for horizontal alignment.
The blue rectangle can be belayed by setting border: none; on the specific rule that applies to the "a" links within that container. It is an indication that there is a link there.
Please rename the images that have word-spaces in their file names. Some browsers react badly to word-spaces.
I see that you have
<p>
</p><div class="slidingpanelandtab">
    <blockquote>
      <p><a onclick="sp1.showPanel(0); return false;" href="#"><img width="144" height="70" class="oneColFixCtrHdr" src="Images/panneltab.jpg"/></a><a onclick="sp1.showPanel(1); return false;" href="#"><img width="144" height="70" src="Images/panneltabb.jpg"/></a><a onclick="sp1.showPanel(2); return false;" href="#"><img width="144" height="70" src="Images/panneltaba.jpg"/></a><a onclick="sp1.showPanel(3); return false;" href="#"><img width="144" height="70" src="Images/panneltabc.jpg"/></a></p>
    </blockquote>
Which sets off your "slidingpanelandtab" class div with an empty paragraph space <p></p> and then sets off the next section not only with <p></p> paragraph spacing but also with a <blockquote></blockquote>, which will by all rights indent that element.
I suggest that you get rid of the spurious paragraph tags and the blockquote; that should tighten up your spacing.

Safari 4 problems - HTMLDataSet/Sliding Panels

Hi,
I've been building a fairly basic photo gallery site and was having no problems with the site until I downloaded and installed Safari 4. For some reason the detailRegions are not loading properly in Safari 4. I have thumbnails in the sliding panels that load fine but the larger versions of the photos no longer appear in Safari below the sliding panels and on the right sidebar the paypal buttons no longer appear either. IE and FF seem to be working fine still. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm very new to this so please bear with me if I have any glaring mistakes. THANKS!!!

It doesn't work correctly in Firefox either,
If you check out generated code, you will see that the data ins't selected correctly, or that maybe your HTML is correctly.
For example.. type this in the url bar of your browser; javascript:alert(ds1.getData()[0]['HiRes_Id']); and you will see it alerts <span></span>.
So i would suggest to recheck your rowSelectors and validate your page for HTML errors.

Spry Sliding Panels not working in IE

I've been working for about 12 hours straight on getting this
working correctly - my Sliding Panels just aren't working at all in
IE. The panels load properly - for example, you can see only the
first loaded panel, not all of them - but when I click a link to
switch to the next, nothing happens. Firebug is reporting no
errors, and neither is IE. Here is the relevant code:
<head><script type="text/javascript"
src="SpryAssets/SprySlidingPanels.js"></script>
<link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet"
href="SpryAssets/SprySlidingPanels.css"></head>
<div id="mainContent">
<div id="panelwidget" class="SlidingPanels">
<div class="SlidingPanelsContentGroup">
<div class="SlidingPanelsContent" id="main">Main
Content<br /><a href="images/news.png" rel="lytebox"
title="Omgtest!"><img src="images/news.png"
/></a><br /> <a href="javascript:void(0);"
onclick="sp1.showPanel('series');">TEST</a></div>
<div class="SlidingPanelsContent" id="series">Series
and Models</div>
<div class="SlidingPanelsContent" id="about">About and
Bio</div>
</div>
</div>
<script type="text/javascript">var sp1 = new
Spry.Widget.SlidingPanels("panelwidget");</script>
</div>
The following might be somewhat related: I am using the
Lytebox javascript library, which is a Lightbox clone (that doesn't
use prototype), as well as a preloader for my mouseover nav bar,
with this code:
<script type="text/javascript">
function init() {
MM_preloadImages('images/menu/main_click-trans.png','images/menu/main_hover-trans.png','i mages/menu/series_click-trans.png',
'images/menu/series_hover-trans.png','images/menu/about_click-trans.png','images/menu/abo ut_hover-trans.png');}
</script>
My nav bar links to the panels like this:
onclick="MM_nbGroup('down','group1','Main','images/menu/main_click-trans.png',1);
sp1.showPanel('main'); return false"
However, a plaintext link inside of the first panel - "<a
href="javascript:void(0);"
onclick="sp1.showPanel('series');">TEST</a>" - does not
work either.
Just for fun I thought I would try adding min-height:0; zoom:
1; to the CSS classes for slidingpanels.... no dice there as well.

Any ideas? I am at a complete loss. Thanks.

Thanks for your help :] I ended up realizing that a huge
bloated js navbar wasn't all that great of an idea anyway, so I
scrapped it and used a CSS-based one instead...much cleaner and
works better (no preloading! woohoo.) It looks like the problem was
probably an amalgamation of many things, but it's resolved now.

Sliding panels hidden content on page load, SprySlidingPanels.js

There was a
previous
post about the issue of hidden content flashing on page load.
That issue was solved with a "hideGroup" class and an additional
line in the JS file under the addEventListener lines. My sliding
panels JS file isn't as simple and I would like to accomplish the
same thing. I'm using SprySlidingPanels.js. Can anyone help?

All you really need to do is add this to your CSS:
.SlidingPanels {
overflow: hidden;
No additional JS or CSS class required.

Spry Sliding PAnels

HI,
I am trying to incoperate the "Spry Sliding" feature in my
website.But problem is coming that I have to define the height of
the container of each sliding panel(So,its not giving the
flexibilty) If I am removing the height than the all panels are
showing (So,the effect of sliding panel is lost).
So help me how to define the same feature without the
"HEIGHT".I am using the examples/demos given on the spry offical
website.
Thanks,

Yes that sounds about right. As usual I am trying to figure
out ways to have a nice navigation and be able to have a good
amount of copy live on the page and keep the web pages footer
within the viewers browser window. The search continues.

Jump Menu for Sliding Panels Widget

I have used the sliding panels tutorial to build a 15 page
sliding document inside a new site I am building. It works
briliantly. However I want to be able to use a jump menu to access
any of the 15 pages as well as use the next and previous buttons.
I tried by inserting a form, then jump menu but couldnt put
it all together code wise.
Is it possible to use a jump menu for this widget (Im sure it
must be) and what bits do I put where? Any ideaas greatly
appreciated.
Nigel

OK Ive given it a shot but I dont where to put that code in
the mix so to speak.
The widget code skeleton is below: as per the tutorial.
Where exactly in this mix would I put the code you suggested.
Im not sure if its css, html or js.
Sorry Im such a novice at this business but I would be very
grateful for a bit more help here.
