Spry accordion help...

uhm, so here it goes...
well as you can see i have spry accordion issue here...
it seems that some of the contents are having scroll bars and
some dont...
is there a way to eliminate this kind of thing?
here below is the html of my spry accordion that i used:

Anyway in your CSS file select this class
.AccordionPanelContent, erase the height property and change
overflow: auto; to overflow: hidden;
Your constructor function it’s at the bottom of your
HTML file and looks something like this:
<script type="text/javascript">

</script>
Change it to this:
<script type="text/javascript">

</script>

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.

Spry: Accordion does not close properly

Hi Everyone,
I am very new to web design, so bear with me please.
I created a new website using Dreamweaver and added a spry accordion to use as a menu. it seemed to be working fine, but as I was adding links into the boxes it quit working on me. I have thoughts of restarting, but I thought that you may be able to help me here as well. The link to the website is http://www.blakesprairiefair.com/2009.html
I used images for the tab titles and they should all be uploaded, I shoud haver 5 tabs in the accordion but it only shows one   I am attaching how it looked a few keystrokes ago. I can't figure out why it is acting so oddly
If you need more from me let me know,
Thank you so much for any help
Chuck

Hey, Thanks for the tip. I looked through the code like 5 times and I can't seem to find any unclosed or extra Divs I attached the code below in case that helps.
I got the code for the defaultPanel: -1 from http://livedocs.adobe.com/en_US/Spry/1.4/help.html?content=WS0E55F588-24EC-4dd3-9508-82132 4E7F133.html
- Still haven't found the error
Thanks
Chuck

Using an image as label in Spry Accordion Menu

I was wondering if it was possible to use an image instead of
text in the spry accordion menu. I have replaced the text that is
there with a roll-over image link however I'm unable to label it
since it uses the text as the label and therefore can't set the
default panel I want opened. Is there a way to do this? Thanks for
your help.

Is this possible with Pages 09 ? And can I achieve this ?
Is it possible to look at the Help or at the Pages User Guide
In the English one, page 17, we may read:
• Some graphics, such as watermarks or logos, appear on pages. These objects are called master objects. If you cannot select an object in a template, it’s probably a master object. To learn more, see “Using Master Objects (Repeated Background Images)” on page 60.
You can drag or place objects on a page, including imported graphics, movies, and sound, or objects that you create within Pages, including text boxes, charts, tables, and shapes.
You can also insert pages that have been preformatted for the template you’re using. Click Pages or Sections in the toolbar and choose a template page. The new page is added immediately after the page where you placed the insertion point.

The underline is in the middle of the links in my spry accordion

I created a spry accordion menu in Dreamweaver CS4, and when I test it the underline is in the middle of the links in my spry accordion. This is not happening when I test it in a browser on the Mac I'm working on, but when I test it on a PC my rollover links have the line going through the center verses being underlined. The rest of the links on my page are fine, this is just happening when I rollover my submenu links in my Spry accordion when I test it in a browser on a PC. I am a "spry virgin," so please help!!!

Hello Em_needs_help,
You posted this message in the InContext Editing Web Developer discussion. I'm going to move your post to the Spry forums where more spry experts will be able to help.
Best regards,

Spry Accordion Hover/Active Issue

Colour problem with Spry Accordion

Hi, I'm trying to create a website with a spry accordion. I've had some trouble with it (as I'm not good at CSS, it's new to me) and I've solved them all except for one: a problem with the colour of the bar when the section is open.
This is my website: http://s313354774.mialojamiento.es/saibe/design3/Publish/INICI.html
When the menu is closed everything is ok, but when you open it then the colour changes, making a gradation between the new colour and the original one. I've checked the stylesheet and there the original colour doesn't appear anywhere, so it's wierd to me.
Does anyone know why is it happenning? If i'ts because something stupid forgive me, as I told you this is quite new to me and I'm trying to learn day by day.
Sergi

Segi,
This one has got me stumped. If I copy your SpryAccordion.css and apply my copy to the document, there is no problem. Have a look here http://pleysier.com.au/sergi/
I know this will not help except to say, that if you change
<link href="SpryAssets/SpryAccordion.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
to
<link href="http://pleysier.com.au/SpryAccordion.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
see what happens.

A simple Spry Accordion Question (I think)

Hi all:
I've searched but can't find, but I think this is a simple one.
I've created a basic Spry accordion menu with DW/CS3 - Insert/Spry/Spry Accordion. How do I get the first "Content 1" to be hidden/not visible upon page load. Right now, the "Lable 2" must be clicked to hide the "Content 1" which of course shows the "Content 2"? Guessing it's in the JS, but I'm not sure. TIA for any help. HTML and JS Code below.

On the bottom of yourpage you have this:
var Accordion1 = new Spry.Widget.Accordion("Accordion1");
Change it to this:
var Accordion1 = new Spry.Widget.Accordion("Accordion1", { useFixedPanelHeights: false, defaultPanel: -1 });

Spry Accordion not working in IE7 and IE6

My spry accordion is working great in Chrome, Safari, Firefox, and IE8, but not in IE7 or 6. The panels are expanded and not hiding.
The site is www.christendom.edu/n. It is there on the left. I am using Spry 1.6 and have googled this question to the ends of the internet and can't figure out why.
Please help!

Remove the offending comma (marked in red)
var Accordion1 = new Spry.Widget.Accordion("LeftMenu", {useFixedPanelHeights: false, defaultPanel: -1, duration: 250, fps: 90, });
FYI, you do have other problems with your code which is made evident by the yellow triangle in the left bottom corner of IE.
I hope this helps.

Spry Accordion default panel in Master Detail Page

Hi everyone,
First time post and need a little help.
I created a SQL database and put the recordsets in a spry accordion panel as the master section. I have another spry accordion that is my detail section. When I open up the panels in the master section and click on any of the records, it updates the detail region just fine. I did this by passing the record set using php which I don't know, to the detail region. So far, great.
What I now need to do is when I open a panel, I want that panel to stay open. This dosen't seem to work regardless what I do. I believe that in passing the recordset set between the two regions, it is refreshing the page. I tried using code to pass the panel number too but this is not working.
Here is the an example of one of the panels.
<div class="AccordionPanel">
    <div class="AccordionPanelTab"><h3>Doctor Who</h3></div>
    <div class="AccordionPanelContent">
        <table width="385" border="0" class="AccordionPanel" id="content1">
          <?php do { ?>
            <tr>
            <td >
               <a id="content1" href="?recordID=<?php echo $row_Doctor_Who['prod_key_name']; ?>&panel=1"; > <?php echo $row_Doctor_Who['video_name']; ?></a>
               </td>
            </tr>
            <?php } while ($row_Doctor_Who = mysql_fetch_assoc($Doctor_Who)); ?>
        </table>
    </div>
</div>
<script type="text/javascript">

</script>
If someone can give me some pointers that would be great. I was also thinking of redoing my menus so when a user clicks on an entry, it will open up another page with that panel open or even going to another section of the same page. I'm not a php programmer and taken a beginners class in HTML and Javascript so if you can keep things simple that would be great.
Thanks soo much for helping out if you can!

PHP, being a serverside code, will refresh the page each time there is a request made to the server. JavaScript (and Spry), being a client side code, does not have to send requests to the server and therefore allows you to change the data without a page refresh.
Having said that, you need to have a Spry dataset in your Accordion panel.
By following these steps, you will be well on your way to achieving what you want.
Retrieve your data using PHP and place it in an HTML-table or similar outside of the Accordion panel
Create a SpryHTMLDataSet based on the HTML-table
Use the data from the Spry dataset to create a master/detail region in your Accordion panel
Just a few questions before I go into details.
Have you set up a connection to a database, thus be able to retrieve the data?
Why do you need an Accordion panel to show your data?
Have you got an online URL so that we can follow your code? Otherwise please include your code in your post.
Please come back here with your answers and we shall try to help you on your way

How to create anchor links within a spry accordion?

I am using the spry accordion from DW CS6. HAving 6 panels.
I want to do this but can't manage it the usual html way...and I am clueless about javascript:
I want to create a wordlink that forwards people to the content of a different panel within the same accordion.
I tried the usual naming of anchor and creating link to such but nothing happens. I googled a bit for answers but I come up with js and that is abracadabra to me. The names in the js are nothing likie html classes that I can target so I have no clue what to do.
Any help would be very appreciated on this matter.
One other problem I am having is this:
My accordion is broken in the Opera browser....anybody an idea what causes this? Do I miss some plug in my browser?

Spry Accordion(or Template?) error

I did some validation to one of several pages that occasionally have problems when I update the Master template page to my site(they look like this: http://njsustainingfarms.rutgers.edu/agclass1.html) , and the one error I got was for something in my spry accordion menu(which seems to be working fine):
this.fixedPanelHeight = (contentA.offsetHeight) ? contentA.offsetHeight : contentA.scrollHeight;
It's telling my contentA is null.
Now, I know next to nothing about javascript, so I am pretty much stumped on how to resolve this.
The one other thing I should note is that in design view, it shows that I have a duplicate head region(which is also editable except for the tags), but that is not so in the master template page.
Any help would be much appreciated, as i've been battling with this issue for some time, and i'd like to try to figure it out once and for all.
P.S.- I'd offer to attach the .dwt file, but I can't seem to find out how to do that on this forum.

codeOutsideHTMLIsLocked="false" -->
That says that anything outside of that area can't be modified, right?
Nope. It says anything outside that area is editable, i.e., it's treated as an editable region. This is the default behavior for a DW template and it allows you to place server scripting or javascript code above the <html> tag, or below the </html> tag in any child page.
Unless you are using server scripting, or are very advanced in your use of DW, you should never mess with this default setting.

Spry Accordion not working!

I have a spry accordion in my page and I'm using Dreamweaver to do my editing. I use this all the time, but have never had this happen before. When in Design mode, if I click anywhere within the accordion structure a blue box appears around the structure, and I am unable to made any edits. When I hover over the structure, I get a pop-up that shows ID, DIV, Overflow, etc.
Can anyone help me?

You probably have overflow:hidden specified somewhere in your CSS code for float containment.
Use Split View or Code View to edit the code.
Or, double click in Design View.
Or, right-click in Design View and & select Element View > Full.

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

Spry Accordion Menu Tab Link css - totally confused

Thanks folks from an l-plater but I've totally confused myself trying to work this out and I'm hoping some fresh eyes will see the answer clear as day. I've created a spry accordion menu with links in the actual panel tabs. Menu and links all working fine - problem is in css styling, particularly panel tab link open and hover states which should be blue text over green background, same as non-link panel tabs. You'll see from code that I've tried a few styles but can't get this to work. I'm thinking I've totally overdone it and some styles are overriding others and solution is a simple deletion of some unnecessary or conflicting styles.
Thanks so much in advance for your help - I just can't see for looking any more though I'm sure it can't be hard.

Yes Beth, you're right and I've corrected my css - I think - problem with AccordionPanelTab link open and hover states still happening so css still wrong. I've uploaded site so you can see what's happening (www.11acu.org). All tab states should be as per Photo Gallery, Newsletters and Forms. Hover state in tab links seem okay until mouse moves away from "a href" block - rest of tab area not working so its like the two styles, ie "AccordionPanelTab" and "AccordionPanelTab a:hover" are both working at the same time but I only want the latter to work. Now I've probably got you confused as well! lol Apologies! Recreated css for tab links below. Html same as in original post. Any help much appreciated.
