Slight movement of spry accordion container when animating

I have a spry accordion inside a container and when I click on each tab, the bottom of the container jerks up and back down slightly as the accordion panel animates the movement. This appears to happen in all browsers so I'm wondering if someone know a fix. I suspect it has to do with a height setting somewhere.
Here is my page:
http://www.esc-online.com/mars/tour_sp_ac.html
There are four css files associated with this:

http://www.esc-online.com/mars/SpryAssets/SprySlidingPanels.css
Thank you.

I will put together a gutted version of this and send it over if you have the time that would be fantastic. Making a gutted version may be the best thing at this point so I can slowly add stuff back and see what causes the problem. If i cant fix it by doing that I will zip and send the files.

  • Spry Accordion Problem in IE7

    Hi,
    I have created a Spry Accordion containing 7 sections, using CS4. It works perfectly in Firefox, however there is a strange bug in IE7. The top section requires the scrollbar and this is working ok. However, the other 6 sections all have the same problem (btw, none of these other 6 are needing the scrollbar as the text does not fill the content area) - the bottom line of text in each of the 6 other accordion sections is not displayed. All the other text in the 6 sections is ok (other than the fact that the top margin is non-existent - I assume that can be fixed fairly easily)
    Has anyone else had this problem, and are there any know fixes?
    many thanks for any help offered

    Since the answer to your question requires some knowledge of Spry, you might want to post it in the Spry forum. Be prepared to post a URL to the problem page, if asked.

  • Spry Accordion No Highlight Upon Selection

    Im working with the spry accordion and when ever i click on a tab the entire outline of the accordion gets highlighted in blue (ie,chrome) or gets a marquee kind of selection around entire outside ( firefox ) is there a way to turn this off so it just works like a normal element?

    is there a way to turn this off so it just works like a normal element?
    Yes there is - you check and modify the respective CSS rules for borders and outlines.

  • Spry Accordion Jerky/Jumping movement Issues in IE

    I am having a difficult time trying to debug the accordion in IE. You can see the accordion here in IE I am having two issues.
    1. When at the top of the site and clicking on a tab to open it jumps down the page as if it were an anchor point, and I find this very annoying.
    2. The movement below the tab clicked is jumping around and this also is incredibly annoying to me, its more subtle than the above issue but it still bothers me. I am having this issue in GC as well.
    I have searched quite a few forums and have not found a solution for this but this must be a fairly common issue? I am not that familaur with spry yet this is my first real project using it so my knowledge is very limited to this point. This dose work perfect in FF.
    Thanks in advance,

    I will put together a gutted version of this and send it over if you have the time that would be fantastic. Making a gutted version may be the best thing at this point so I can slowly add stuff back and see what causes the problem. If i cant fix it by doing that I will zip and send the files.

  • How can I make the spry accordion remember the panel open when I refresh the page or jump to a new page?

    How can I make the spry accordion remember the panel open
    when I refresh the page or jump to a new page?
    I am using the accordion feature on all my pages as a
    navigation aid. It has three panels. When you refresh the page the
    panel goes back to the default pane... Is there a way of
    controlling this so that the browser can remember the pane that is
    open (say set a variable, cookie, other?)

    Look for "Set the default open panel" on the following page:
    http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/articles/accordion_overview/index.html
    Keep in mind you would need to change that bit of code on
    every page. The only way to do it more dynamically would be to
    include a custom javascript or PHP/ASP style script in order to
    change the value.

  • MBP Shuts off when there is slight movement

    Hi,
    Today my MBP started acting weird. I've never had this problem before. If I tap it, or move the lid it randomly shuts off. I'm afraid to type to hard b/c I feel like it will just shut off with any slight movement. I've reset the SMC and done a bunch of other troubleshooting.
    Is this a software issue or hardware?
    I feel as if there is a sensor loose inside my mbp which is causing it to suddenly shut off.

    Bound to be hardware, Rudy.
    Does it occur both when running from battery and from the mains?
    Is it definitely shutting right down rather than falling into an unwakeable 'sleep"? (If it is shutting right down then a single press of the power button is all that is needed to restart, rather than holding the button down for a few secs and then pressing it again.)
    What model is it?
    Cheers

  • Automatically Animating Spry Accordion Widget on Page Load

    I've been searching and searching and still can't find a clue
    as how to make the Spry Accordion Widget automatically open the
    next panel. I want the panels to expand automatically and loop back
    at the last panel.
    Do I need to create another function for this or is there
    already a function created in the .js file?
    Any help is appreciated...even if you can point me in the
    right direction.
    Thanks!

    Sounds more like you'd want sliding panels:

    I've seen an automatic version created that might do what you

    But if you really want an Accordion, then you might be able
    to adapt the code in the auto sliding panels above.
    FYI: There's a Spry forum that would be better to post Spry

  • Spry Accordion Hover/Active Issue

    I have designed a spry accordion widget for a FAQ page and within Dreamweaver CS6 it is fully functional.  The color I've selected doesn't occur with a hover or an active tab once EVERYTHING is uploaded.  Below is a live link to the problem page, my Spry CSS and layout CSS as well as a screenshot of the proper functionality occuring in Dreamweaver.  Thoughts?
    The problem page:

    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.

    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.)

  • Desperate help needed in understanding SPRY accordion CSS

    hello everybody
    like many out there im stumbling through some home/self tuition on DW. I've recently checked out the spry accordion. It all went well up to the part where I wanted to improve the outlook of the accordion. I luckily found some templates on the adobe site with an accordion with the general idea as to how I would like an accordion to look, or at least a platform for future ideas. (Design #2 at:  http://www.adobe.com/devnet/dreamweaver/?view=samples )
    I've had a look through the code and have found great difficulty understanding a few of the div classes that are contained within it, i.e. what they are attributed to etc.
    Here is the HTML and the Spry CSS docs that I downloaded from the link above:

    I'n terms of the <div class="accordion_340_tab"> i'm really not sure what these mean. I know the label title is situated within them (at least i think they are!!) but i dont quite understand what they are doing or mean. There is no reference to them in any of the code/ CSS sheets i downloaded.
    Plus, i'm not quite sure what the two <div style="clear:both;"></div> are clearing.
    I know these will be really basic questions and I apologise for having to trouble you but any help would be really really appreciated

    Thank you to anybody again who may be able to assist me with this. I'm very new to DW (and some may say not the brightest) so any low level explanations will be really appreciated.

    Heya, I hope my response will help.
    First off, I'd like to say that you are correct in being unable to find the " <div  class="accordion_340_tab"> " anywhere in the project. I went through and checked all the code and couldn't find a reference anywhere. Also, I downloaded the project from your link, deleted the <div class="accordion_340_tab"> as well as the </div> right after the TELLUS PROIN EU ERAT" (as the opening div and closing div work together and must be added or deleted together) and it had absolutely no impact from what I could see in internet explorer 8 and firefox.
    Therefore, I  believe, that it was originally intended to do something or in fact did something but they took that out and then forgot to take out the div. Even within the internal .js file I couldn't find a reference. Maybe they forgot to upload a third stylesheet. Either way, it appears to work just fine without it.
         "I'm not quite sure what the  two <div  style="clear:both;"></div> are clearing."
    In regards to this, this div style tag is a less frequently used tag that can divide content. Do you know what the HR tag in html is? If not, try putting a <hr> tag (just like that, by itself) in your web page somewhere. HR stands for Horizontal Rule- it makes a horizontal line across the page. This div style clear both tag is basically an invisible HR that helps separate different divs or content or whatever else is on the page. Think of it as an invisible page break.
         "I know the label title is situated within  them (at least i think they are!!) but i dont quite understand what they  are doing or mean."
    You should check out some CSS tutorials for the basics, but in a nutshell I'll go ahead and explain what I believe you are having trouble with.
    Let's put it this way:
    HTML is the core of your web page. It is the content and substance.
    CSS is the style of your web page. It is the color, alignment, and format of your page.
    The "div" tag by itself is simply <div>. However, you MUST close a div tag somewhere on the page with a </div> A div tag by itself, however, will do absolutely nothing. How do you get it to do something? By making a CSS rule, the two most common of which are known as a "div id" and "div class".
    The differences between div id and div class are pretty small- div id is mainly used for a div tag that will only be used once on the web page. Div classes are used for something that will be repeated, in this case, the accordion tabs.
    Therefore, when you see something like <div id="content"> text blah blah blah </div>, then you know that the "text blah blah blah" is your content, and that content is being modified to the specifications of the id "content". Where is this "content" div? This is what you as the designer make (or there will already be one in a template) and can usually be found in an external STYLESHEET, which holds all of your css rules, and is then linked to the main web page's html document (where your content is) with a link tag in the header of the html, usually right after the title and before the end of the <header> tag. You will find <link href="example.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" /> but with a different name in the part i put as "example.css"
    Within that css document you have different things you can do. Let's say I want to make one div id and one div class. I want to name the ID "example1" and the class "example2". It would look something like this (note that you must ALWAYS start an ID with # and a class with a period)
    #example1 {
    width: 450px;
    margin:auto;
    color: #fff;
    .example2 {
    width: 900px;
    margin: 10px;
    color: #000;
    I hope this helped.
