Spry Accordian Widget

OK, I'm thinking this may be impossible to explain, but here
goes. I have a simple table. I install a Spry Accordian widget to
one of the table's columns, and the whole table (the who page
actually) explodes laterally, breaking apart pictures, and
segmenting what was just a simple table. What gives here? Any help
is MOST appreciated!!

add the option defaultPanel:-1 to the constructor
var bla = new
Spry.Widget.Accordion('id',{defaultPanel:-1});

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.

Spry Accordian Tabs Question

Hi
I'm trying to create a spry accordian menu for a navbar and am having some trouble.
This is the first time I've tried it so I would appreciate any help.
The Client would like the tabs to be:
Home
Students
   High School Students
   College Students
Professionals
Parents/Educators
Seminars
Bio
Q & A Blog
Testimonials
So all they would like High School Students and College Students to be child tabs underneath the parent tabs and all other tabs to be parent tabs.
They asked for a spry accordian.
They want the nav bar to be on the left.
Here is the link to the website online:
http://www.elynncohen.com/index2spry2.html#
and here are my questions:
1. The spry accordian has a box around it on mouse down but I can't figure out how to get rid of it. I've checked all the CSS rules for the spry accordian and none of them seem to have rules around them.
2. All the tabs have a content area underneath them and we only want content areas underneath the student tab. You see how it goes when you click on any of the tabs, you get a little thing that says content 1, 2 etc. I tried deleting them in the code and the page goes completely crazy when I do and the nav bar areas stretch all the way across the page.
3. I can't figure out how to get the child tabs (which would be the tabs under students which say high school and college) to have two tabs. You will see that it does have the high school tab there now. When I try cutting and pasting the code to try to get two tabs, it does not work. The spry accordian framework only creates one content area under each tab.
4. I'd like the child tabs to have a narrower height than the parent tabs, and be indented so that they will clearly be set off and different than the parent tabs.
Any help would be much appreciated!
Thanks!!!
Here is my code:

Create a new #submenu css rule in your CSS document and set styling the way you want it.

How to apply different styles to multiple spry accordian panels?

Hi all,
I have a website that I'm building that has multiple spry accordian features on it.
I am trying to apply different styles to each accordian. A problem arises when I try to place an accordian within another accordian.
I have styled two different background images for two of the accordians for the styles (AccordionPanelTab, AccordionPanelTabHover and AccordionPanelOpen AccordionPanelTabHover) which work fine.
When I try and place an accordian within another accordian the background image for this accordian for the styles (AccordionPanelTab and AccordionPanelOpen AccordionPanelTabHover) has the different style applyed that I stated in the accordion.css file, however the style (AccordionPanelTabHover) has the same style as the accordian it is within even though in the accordion.css file I stated a different background image.
I hope all this makes sence below is my source and CSS Code.
I appriciate any help that can be given to help resolve this issue I am running in too.

Okay guys,
I figured it out, if anyone was having the same problem as me and looking on this thread for the answer, here it is.
Firstly if you're wanting to seperatly style two or more Spry Accordions that are not within each other e.g.
<div id="Accordion1" class="Accordion" tabindex="0">
<div class="AccordionPanel">
    <div class="AccordionPanelTab">Label 1</div>
    <div class="AccordionPanelContent">
   <p>Content Goes Here </p>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div id="Accordion2" class="Accordion" tabindex="0">
<div class="AccordionPanel">
    <div class="AccordionPanelTab">Label 1</div>
    <div class="AccordionPanelContent">
   <p>Content Goes Here </p>
</div>
</div>
</div>
You don't have to do this, as long as you have seperate ID's for the divs (which dreamweaver automatically does anyway) you'll be fine.
However if for some reason you want to put one accordion inside another like I did e.g.
<div id="Accordion1" class="Accordion" tabindex="0">
<div class="AccordionPanel">
    <div class="AccordionPanelTab">Label 1</div>
    <div class="AccordionPanelContent">
   <p>Content Goes Here </p>
<div id="Accordion2" class="Accordion" tabindex="0">
<div class="AccordionPanel">
    <div class="AccordionPanelTab">Label 1</div>
    <div class="AccordionPanelContent">
   <p>Content Goes Here </p>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
Too style Accordian 1 & 2 so their tabs both have different backgrounds and Hover background when the content panel is open and closed you have to style it in the CSS they following way;
CSS
#Accordion1 .AccordionPanelTab {
height:75px;
width:285px;
background:url(../images/package_spry_tab_bg.png);}
#Accordion1 .AccordionPanelTabHover,
#Accordion1 .AccordionPanelOpen .AccordionPanelTabHover {
height:75px;
width:285px;
background:url(../images/package_spry_tab_bg_RO.png);}
#Accordion2 .AccordionPanelTab {
height:44px;
width:469px;
background:url(../images/packages_spry.png);}
#Accordion2 .AccordionPanelClosed .AccordionPanelTabHover,
#Accordion2 .AccordionPanelOpen .AccordionPanelTabHover {
height:44px;
width:469px;
background:url(../images/packages_spry_ro.png);}
Normally when styling two seperate spry accordions you can just use the following code
#Accordion1 .AccordionPanelTab {
height:75px;
width:285px;
background:url(../images/package_spry_tab_bg.png);}
#Accordion1 .AccordionPanelTabHover,
#Accordion1 .AccordionPanelOpen .AccordionPanelTabHover {
height:75px;
width:285px;
background:url(../images/package_spry_tab_bg_RO.png);}
The only difference with styling a Spry accordion within another to ensure they have different hover backgrounds when the content panel is open and closed is ".AccordionPanelClosed".
Hope this helped anyone who was having the same issue I was.

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.

Spry Accordian - Javascript Variable - Replace simple ASP

Hey Gang,
I'm not familiar with Javasscript Syntax as much as I'd like
to be.
But I need to quickly replace this simple VBScript for
grabbing a querysting
and using it in the page
Basically I'm using the Spry Accordian and setting the
default panel based
on a querystring variable.
There may be a far better way, but this is a quick example.
What I need is a Javascript solution.
Thanks
-Dave
<%
Select case Request.Querystring("p")
Case "0"
strPanel = "0"
Case "1"
strPanel = "1"
End select

Could you please have a look at http://www.trafficnetwork.ecanvas.com.sg/TMA.html and advice?
Cheers!

Spry Accordian Invalid XHTML

Hi:
I created a spry accordian from DW CS3. Insert/Spry/Spry Accordian, but when I run through the W3C validation site I get the following error report:
Line 182, Column 49:         Attribute "tabindex" exists, but can not be used for this element.
<div id="Accordion1" class="Accordion" tabindex="0">
✉
You have used the attribute named above in your document, but the       document type you are using does not support that attribute for this       element. This error is often caused by incorrect use of the "Strict"       document type with a document that uses frames (e.g. you must use       the "Transitional" document type to get the "target" attribute), or       by using vendor proprietary extensions such as "marginheight" (this       is usually fixed by using CSS to achieve the desired effect instead).
This error may also result if the element itself is not supported in       the document type you are using, as an undefined element will have no       supported attributes; in this case, see the element-undefined error       message for further information.
How to fix: check the spelling and case of the element and attribute,        (Remember XHTML is all lower-case) and/or        check that they are both allowed in the chosen document type, and/or       use CSS instead of this attribute. If you received this error when using the        <embed> element to incorporate flash media in a Web page, see the        FAQ item on valid flash.
Here's the code straight from DW. Any help much appreciated TIA!

Your best bet regarding that particular "error" (tabindex exists but cannot be used for this element) is to remove the tabindex attribute and value from your markup.
Unless you have a good reason to have it there, it is basically nonfunctioning. There are probably other ways to set a tab order, but typically, accessibility indicates that you should set up your page (code) in the order that you would like it 'read' by screen readers. Then it will naturally tab from form element to form element in order.

Why does my spry accordian look good in live view and switch back to default in safari

i am new to dreamweaver and have started my first page-
step one inserted a picture as a background
step 2 inserted a spry accordian and have spent hours trying to configure it - my dreamweaver wont allow me to type any information in the design view so i worked out how to get around that in the code - so i put in the labels - changed the font
then i got rid of any color by adding the hex value #0.0 (transparent) in the spryaccordian.css page - which has worked really well in the live view ( and works in opera) but when i check it in safari it has reverted back to the default settings - it hasnt even kept the font settings
i would also like to put quite a lot of information in the content panels (pictures, subscriber list, links ect, essentially whole pages) is this possible
hoping someone can help me
kind regards

Im sure this is really easy i just can't seem to figure it out.

Help with Spry Rating Widget within a Spry Repeating Region

My link http://www.youthinkyougotitbad.com
This is a long question, but it seems to me if answered somewhere it could help alot of people in the spry community creating comment boards as it uses three important spry widgets: rating, repeating, and tabbed panels. I am trying to use spry rating widget within a spry repeating region within a spry tabbed panel with xml. I was trying to go with the pulse light script (http://forums.adobe.com/message/3831721#3831721) but Gramps told me about the spry rating widget. But I have ran into a couple more problems. First, I couldnt find that much information on the forums or online about how to do the php page with the spry rating widget. None of these have any information on how to do it:
http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/articles/rating_overview/index .html
http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/articles/data_api/apis/rating. html
http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/samples/rating/RatingSample.ht ml
And it seems that the official examples are so poor (or I am just ignorant, which def could be a possiblity) it shows
to set the initial rating value from the server, but uses a static value of 4
http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/samples/rating/RatingSample.html
<span id="initialValue_dynamic" class="ratingContainer">
         <span class="ratingButton"></span>
         <span class="ratingButton"></span>
         <span class="ratingButton"></span>
         <span class="ratingButton"></span>
         <span class="ratingButton"></span>
         <input id="spryrating1_val" type="text" name="spryrating1" value="4" readonly="readonly" />
         <span class="ratingRatedMsg sample">Thanks for your rating!</span>
</span>
<script>
var initialValue_dynamic = new Spry.Widget.Rating("initialValue_dynamic", {ratingValueElement:'spryrating1_val'});
</script>
I finally found a site that has the php and mysql setup.
http://www.pixelplant.ro/en/articles/article-detail/article/adobe-widgets-for-download.htm l
But its not perfect. It has the same problem that I ran into with Pulse light, that you had to use php echo within the spry repeating region to set the initial value from the server:
<span id="spryrating1" class="ratingContainer">
         <span class="ratingButton"></span>
            <input type="text" id="ratingValue" name="dynamic_rate" value="<?php echo $row['average']?>"/>
        </span>
        <script type="text/javascript"
            var rating1 = new Spry.Widget.Rating("spryrating1", {ratingValueElement:'ratingValue', afterRating:'serverValue', saveUrl: 'save.php?id=spryrating1&val=@@ratingValue@@'});
        </script>
So instead, I tried with three of my panels (www.youthinkyougotitbad.com) to get the average rating from xml by using the following queries:
Recent
Returns the blurts in most recent order along with average rating
SELECT Blurt.Id_blurt, Blurt.Name, Blurt.Location, Blurt.Blurt,Blurt.`Date`,DATE_FORMAT(Blurt.`Date`, '%l:%i %p on %M %D, %Y') as Date, ratings.rating_id, Avg(ratings.rating_value) as average_r FROM ratings Left Join Blurt On ratings.rating_id = Blurt.Id_blurt Group By Id_blurt ORDER BY Blurt.`Date` DESC
Wet Eyed
Returns the blurts in highest ratings order along with the average rating
SELECT Blurt.Id_blurt, Blurt.Name, Blurt.Location, Blurt.Blurt, DATE_FORMAT(Blurt.`Date`, '%l:%i %p on %M %D, %Y') as Date, ratings.rating_id, Avg(ratings.rating_value) as average_r FROM ratings Left Join Blurt On ratings.rating_id = Blurt.Id_blurt AND ratings.rating_value > 0.1 Group By Id_blurt ORDER BY average_r Desc
Dry Eyed
Returns the blurts in lowest rating order along with the average rating
SELECT Blurt.Id_blurt, Blurt.Name, Blurt.Location, Blurt.Blurt, DATE_FORMAT(Blurt.`Date`, '%l:%i %p on %M %D, %Y') as Date, ratings.rating_id, Avg(ratings.rating_value) as average_r FROM ratings Left Join Blurt On ratings.rating_id = Blurt.Id_blurt AND ratings.rating_value > 0.1 Group By Id_blurt ORDER BY average_r
These all return the correct xml in the correct order.And they return the average rating of each blurt which I can send to my page with xml.
My first question is that I dont know how to configure the query on my fourth panel Empathized & Advised the same way because it already has a Group By for the Comment Id.
SELECT `Comment`.id_Blurt, COUNT(*) as frequency, Blurt.Id_blurt, Blurt.Name, Blurt.Location, Blurt.Blurt, DATE_FORMAT(Blurt.`Date`, '%l:%i %p on %M %D, %Y') as Date FROM Blurt, `Comment` WHERE Blurt.Id_blurt = `Comment`.id_Blurt GROUP BY `Comment`.id_Blurt ORDER BY COUNT(*) DESC";
Not sure if you guys need more information to understand that all, if so just ask.
So after I get my average value through xml to the first three panels, I set my spry repeating region up like this:
(Blurt panel)
<div spry:region="pv1" spry:repeatchildren="pv1">
           <div class="blurtbox">
            
            <h3> "{pv1::Blurt}"</h3>
            <p> Blurted from {pv1::Location} at {pv1::Date}</p>
            <p>Empathize or Advise about {pv1::Name}'s Blurt #<a href="detailblurt.php?blurtid={pv1::Id_blurt}"> {pv1::Id_blurt}</a></a></p>
           <span id="{pv1::Id_blurt}" class="ratingContainer">
            <span class="ratingButton"></span>
            <span class="ratingButton"></span>
            <span class="ratingButton"></span>
            <span class="ratingButton"></span>
            <span class="ratingButton"></span>
            <span class="ratingRatedMsg">Thank You! Your tears have been tallied.</span>
            <input type="text" id="ratingValue" name="dynamic_rate" value="{pv1::average_r}"/>
        </span>
        <script type="text/javascript">
            // overview of available options and their values:
            // http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/articles/rating_overview/index.html
            var rating1 = new Spry.Widget.Rating("{pv1::Id_blurt}", {ratingValueElement:'ratingValue', afterRating:'serverValue', saveUrl: 'save.php?id={pv1::Id_blurt}&val=@@ratingValue@@'});
        </script>
             <br/>
           </div>
          </div>
Ok, it registers the right vote in the database with the right blurt id each time. But I am having two problems so far:
One, even though {pv1::average_r} returns the correct average through xml, it doesn't show the initial rating value for each of the repeating blurts. It seems to show the first one correct, and then just repeat that same value to the other ones that follow. I just dont understand since it can get the correct server value right after you vote (afterRating:'serverValue), that I can't manipulate spryrating.js in some way that I could just replace 'ratingValue' in ratingValueElement:'ratingValue' with something to give me the initial server value.
Two: Is even more mysterious to me, if you play around with voting on the site, sometimes you are unable to vote on different blurts. Its weird. It seems like that the javascript is completely off just on those blurts. And sometimes its a whole row, sometimes none. But so far its never a problem on the first tabbed panel (Recent), only on the other three. As far as I know, the coding is exactly the same in each tab's repeating region except for the different xml input.
And, now on the live server, sometimes the pics of tears used to voting dont show up until you click.
Any help on those three questions (how to query the fourth panel, how to show the initial server value, and the glitches with voting) would be greatly appreciated!! I looked pretty hard on adobe forums and other sites, and didnt see much on how to really use the spry rating widget with php and xml.
Thanks!!

Update:
Ok, the first query on the Recent tab doesnt work for me because it wont show unless its already voted, and since these are supposed to be new blurts, that kind of breaks the whole site:
"SELECT Blurt.Id_blurt, Blurt.Name, Blurt.Location, Blurt.Blurt,Blurt.`Date`,DATE_FORMAT(Blurt.`Date`, '%l:%i %p on %M %D, %Y') as Date, ratings.rating_id, Avg(ratings.rating_value) as average_r FROM ratings Left Join Blurt On ratings.rating_id = Blurt.Id_blurt Group By Id_blurt ORDER BY Blurt.`Date` DESC";
So I replaced it with what I originally had.
"SELECT Blurt.Id_blurt, Blurt.Name, Blurt.Location, Blurt.Blurt,Blurt.`Date`,DATE_FORMAT(Blurt.`Date`, '%l:%i %p on %M %D, %Y') as Date FROM Blurt ORDER BY Blurt.`Date` DESC";
But this doesn't provide me with the initial average rating:(

Spry Validation widgets not working on local WAMP server

I just started the process of creating a contact page. I got the client side done last night, woke up this morning and panicked. The spry validation widgets weren't working anymore. I re-did the entire page and realized it was only the contact.html page in the wamp directory that wasn't working. All the needed CSS and javascript assets are there and in the proper folders, so what's up?
(I'm still in the middle of the lynda.com series Dreamweaver CS5 with PHP and MySQL , so I'm not even certain where I'm heading just yet. I'm doing stuff as I think I understand it.)

OK, this is interesting. It works online, but not in local cache.
Here's the contact page on my website: http://www.ladyhawkslair.com/contact.html (So far, GNDN: goes nowhere; does nothing.)
And here's the WAMP version: http://www.ladyhawkslair.com/wamp/contact.html
worky-worky online.
No worky-worky when I preview in Firefox on my system.
Wait. Hold that thought.
I only refuses to work when I preview it in Firefox THROUGH Dreamweaver. Let me test again.
Verified.
The spry widgets don't work when I load them to Firefox WITH Dreamweaver. Interestingly, it works with IE.
Any ideas, Gramps?

Spry Accordian not working

I've been trying to add 3 collapsible areas on a web page I'm developing with the Spry Accordion widget while using CS4 and I can't get them to close by default when the browser opens. When I open IE8 or Firefox you can see the entire content and when I click on the tabs they won't collapse. I've tried using the help section http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/articles/collapse_panel/ but can't seem to get anything to work - not sure if I should be following it since it was created back in 2006.
I've done some other reading on this site and I'm using the updated JS file 1.6.1 and changed the default panel to -1 (this.defaultPanel = -1;) in the SpryAccordion.js file and they now close in Firefox but won't open when the tab is clicked. Changing the default panel did not change anything in IE.
Can someone please help since I'm a novice at this? I've added the section of Accordion code I'm using on the page if it helps.
Thanks

AG, I removed all the accordion code and reworked the page with the collapsible content code but still having the same problem. There must be something I'm missing but I can't find it. When I added it I used the Insert menu for Spry Collapsible Panel in Dreamweaver if that helps.
Below is the new code.

Spry Accordian with dynamic panels from XML

Hi. I've searched, but haven't seen anybody answer this yet.
I'm trying to build a page that uses a spry accordian to display
data by category. So category 1 is on panel 1 in a spry table with
a link to a spry detail section on the page. Category 2 is on panel
2 in a spry table with a link to the same spry detail section, etc.
I have 2 issues: 1) I haven't figured out how to filter a
single XML data set onto different accordian panels or
2) how to get the same detail region to take links from
different XML data sets on the different panels.
Any help that anybody could give would be VERY much
appreciated.
THANKS!

I did get it working. Please check out..

The key is the Data Set Shell. I use multiple data sets for
each category, in your case department. Then I list the items in
that category to update a detail region. If the above link doesn't
help you please re-post and I can give you some more help.

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):

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.
