Spry accordion and #wrapper issue

Hi
I am in the process of trying to put together a portfolio site as part of a CIW course. If you look at the current site www.jmacphot.com you will see on the equipment page I have tried to add a spry accordion and then a spry tabbed menu inside the accordion. However you will see that when I insert a large amount of information into the content area it pushes the tab over the footer and does keep the footer at the very bottom of the page... I am stumped as I have not set any specific height on my CSS to keep moving.
Can someone please advise where I might be going wrong here. Sorry if this question has been asked repeatedly but I am very new to web design.
Your help with this is greatly appreciated!
Regards
John

Thanks ben, I initially thought if I left the height of my wrapper blank and also the height of the spry content blank they would expand as more information was entered? Is there possibly and issue with CSS hierarchy?
Thanks again for your help!!

SPRY accordion and tabs not displaying in IE6

Hi everyone:
Even after clearing up some validation errors in my HTML, I
am experiencing issues with a SPRY accordion and another page with
a Tabbed SPRY widget not appearing in IE6. The pages all work fine
in IE7, Firefox and Safari. I would greatly appreciate anyone
taking a look (link below) and letting me know if you see any
errors or know of a bug I have not found the fix for. My CSS
validates 100% so I don't think I have made any style sheet errors.
Thanks very much.

Hi all:
After some more tinkering, I have discovered the real issue
is that my containing element is not containing the entire page and
therefore cutting off my SPRY elements on the pages which have
them. This is causing the SPRY widgets to fall apart and, of
course, for the page to only scroll partially down.
Does anyone have a suggestion as to why the SPRY tabbed
element and accordion element on my pages is not nesting within
document flow and remaining with the containing div? I appreciate
your help.

Spry Accordion and Flash Gallery

I am trying to insert a Flash photo gallery (created in Adobe Bridge) into one of the accordion panels of a Spry Accordion widget. When I use the widget 'out of the box', the gallery displays, but the set content height cuts off a third of it, including the navigation: http://twwwg.com/Pages/bogott/index3.html. When I set the constructor to allow variable panel heights, one problem goes away but the gallery does not display. http://twwwg.com/Pages/bogott/index2.html. The only difference is the addition of the option in the constructor call. Does anyone have an idea what is going wrong? Thanks. don Carlos.

Well, I solved this one myself. One of the posts on the sidebar resembled my issue sufficiently that I tried it. I pulled all the Flash code from the page and used the <object data> call. Worked like a charm. http://twwwg.com/Pages/bogott/index4.html

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?

Spry accordion browser compatability issues

I am building my first site and was in the process of checking each page for browser compatability. this certain page has spry accordians and I have some error messages that I don't understand.
The first one says Line 48 has 2 errors in SpryAccordian.css. I don't have any indication of what the problem is and where exactly line 48 is on the page. Is there a way for it to take you to that exact spot to show you where the problem is?
I clicked on get more info. and came to a page that doesn't seem to be addressing what my issue is. Don't understand that part.
How do I fix this and why did it happen?

Spry Accordion and jQuery UI Accordion for Widget Browser

I have Dreamweaver CS5 and used the spry accordion for a left menu. I then used the widget browser and added jQuery UI accordion. But there appears to be a conflict in that the spry accordion is not displaying the white font on hover, instead using the gray font from the jQuery UI accordion.
This may be a duplicate post, I asked this question on another section of this site, if so, I do apologize. Any help is greatly appreciated.
The page sample is
http://www.sbcvote.us/registrar/2006_form460.htm
Thanks to all,

In SpryAccordion.css you are telling the Spry Accordion to do exactly that.
Have a look at lines 97 and 100 where the colour is set to #555555

Help Needed re:Spry Tooltip and render issue with XP

I have an issue with spry tooltip and XP not sure why ?
Here it is I am designing/building a website for a restaurant, I am making use of the spry tooltip on the menu page as a rollover for a larger menu image to appear, which it does. Everything is cool in Vista etc. but if you are using XP for some reason the rollover effect only works once and then no more until the page is refreshed which is really annoying and certainly not the effect i am looking for. I know this is occuring because of this line of code :-
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=EmulateIE7"> which I need to keep in.
Does ANYONE know a quick fix ? or ran into this problem before ?
I am sure the attached .JS file is the key to fix.
Thanks in advance
Andy....!

This is one of those situations you may need to see to believe,
whats happening is only on an XP IE8 browser which the ******** client is looking at (what are the odds)?
On newer systems and other browsers NO problem:-
You bring up the menu page and mouse over spry triggers and it works PERFECTLY, but only ONCE when you try again the cursor flickers as the trigger is engaged and nothing is revealed? I am sure the spry is working but somehow it is being hidden from rendering correctly as if trapped behind another image or on a delay, and then when you mouse off maybe 500ms later the image flickers into view and dissappears almost instantly. (an obvious error of some sort)
This only occurs when I place this source code in the head tags:-
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=EmulateIE7">
Without code works fine, but I need to include this code for it to look as it should cross browser.
Ask me anything I will help as much as I can but right now I am at a loss !
Thanks in advance
Andy....!

Hello,
In the sprymenubarvertical.css file, try changing position:
static; to
position: relative;
in the ul.MenuBarVertical li style.
Also, you should get rid of the link to test.css as it's an
html page in a
css file.
Take care,

Spry Menu and IE Issue (Hover Font Size)

I'm not able to figure out why the hover focus setting works fine with Firefox or Chrome, but I can't find a setting in the CSS to ensure the value for the font on a hover within IE remains fixed. on a hover, the font size increases slighly in IE and pushes menu out of alignment very slightly. I was able to keep the hover size fixed in Firefox and Chrome via the CSS values for the spry, but not sure why IE is doing this and if there is a setting specific to IE that would allow me to keep the hover font size fixed, but not change the values in Firefox/Chrome. Is there any way to lock in the hover value using CSS for the font so in IE it remains constant?

Page is under development, but if you open it up in IE, the menu hover causes too much movement. I'm new to CS4, so, any help appreciated.
Thanks,

Perhaps you could adapt the techniques used here for your

Spry Accordion and Firefox (dotted border)

How to get rid of this border?
It shows up after clicking in the accordion (wheater title or
content) and outlines the whole accordion.
This problem is only in Firefox and makes the whole accordion
unpleasent to look at. I would like to know if there's a workaround
for this problem. I already tried some css editing, once even
tested removing all borders on all according elements -
nothing.

That's cause of tabindex="0" if you don't want them then
change this:
<div id="Accordion1" class="Accordion" tabindex="0">
to this:
<div id="Accordion1" class="Accordion">

Spry Accordions and Contribute

I'm curious of something.. been trying to search for anyone
who has a similar problem and can't seem to find an answer..
I've recently built a site using the DW CS3 Spry Accordion,
and the client is updating the file with Contribute CS3. They can
get in and edit the files just fine (contribute expands the
accordions so the content is editable), but when they 'publish' the
file the accordion stays expanded. The data in the accordions are
quite lengthy, so it's pretty necessary they collapse again.
Anyone else see this with the Spry stuff? I've had clients
update the Spry Tabbed menus with the same version of Contribute,
and everything works just fine. This one is a mystery!
I have version 1.6.1 of Spry. The editing file in question is
standard CSS/XHTML.
Any advice/help would be great! Thank you!

Think I found the bug.. It's actually a combo of the footer
script between the Accordion and Google's Analytics script:

Spry accordion with php mysql as data

Hello
I`m trying to create a spry accordion where the Labels are pulled from a mysql database table and the Content of that label is pulled from data in the same database. I tried adding first the spry accordion and then created 1 recordset for the labels and a second recordset for the content , then I added a repeat region for the labels DIV and inside this div I added a repeat region for the content.
Unfortunatly when viewed in the browsers the accordion doesn`t work.
Can anyone look at the code and tell me where is the mistake.
Thanks

You only have 1 "AccordianPanel" which contains a list of "AccordianPanelTab" elements, then a list of "AccordianPanelContent" elements.
You need to have a list of "AccordianPanel" elements, each containing a pair or "AccordianPanelTab" and "AccordianPanelContent" elements.

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.
