Spry Accordion problem in IE8

Hi to all
I created a menu item list using the spry accordion for the left menu on a website. The spry works perfectly when I'm testing the site locally, but when I load the site directly to the ftp server and test it on the web, the spry accordion wont work at all. There´s no animation, the tabs that have content only shows scrolling bars. I added the .css and .js styles to the site but is not working.
You can view the site here. It´s the left menu.
Thanks in advance...

Hi, it looks like there is a problem with the javascript at the bottom of your page. There is an error with the line "swfobject.registerObject("FlashID");" (line 226). And that is keeping your accordion declaration from happening. If you fix the error (which is 'swfobject is not defined') the panel should work properly. Quick fix is to move the accordion declaration statement above the statement causing the error. Hope this helps.

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 Problem in Internet Explorer

Hi,
i have created a spry accordion menu in Dreamweaver CS3. My
problem is that when I click in Internet Explorer, small selection
handles appear all round the accordion object. This looks quite
poor then. Any ideas how I can get rid of these?
Thanks.

Except for the fact that Spry Accordions are involved, the problem is hardly Spry related.
Having said that, I will try to help you on your way to solving your problem.
The following is a list of my observations
the <div id="wrapper"> on line 74 does not have an ending tag
<div class="right-column" has 35px padding on the right but not on the left. Because IE interprets the so-called box model differntly to other browsers, and because the div is floated right, the left edge of the div will be pushed further to the left than on other browsers. It may be an idea to put at least some of the padding on the left to keep it clear of the divider line
the field set in your contact form is 460px wide, the div surrounding it is only 440px and again IE reacts differntly to other browsers in that it expands the parent to suit the child. Try reducing the width of the fieldset to say 400px.

Spry Accordion problem using URLutilis

Hi, I'm using a spry accordion and have the 3rd panel opening as default.
I'm now trying to use URLutilis to open a specific accordion panel from another html page,
but as soon as I amend the target page code, all the panels of my accordion default to open.
This is the code I'm using in the head:
<script type="text/javascript" src="SpryAssets/SpryURLUtils.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
var params = Spry.Utils.getLocationParamsAsObject();
</script>
This is the code I'm using in the body:
var Accordion1 = new Spry.Widget.Accordion("Accordion1", {defaultPanel: params.panel ? params.panel: 1});
I still have SpryAccordion.js set as:
this.defaultPanel = 2;
Could someone let me know where I'm going wrong and why all panels are now open?
Cheers,
Andy

I have a spry accordion problem with IE.

When I scrol down and open a panel in my spry accordion something decides to go to the first panel.
After that I have to scroll down to the opened panel.
I want to see the opened panel at once when I opened it and not go to the top of my page first.
This is no problem in ff, safari and chrome. That works fine.
Any one knows this problem and how do I solve it?
Thanks.

Spry accordion problem with IE

I tried to make a site using all different spry-widgets, so I
made tabbed panels and in them accordion panels (and in other
panels other spry-things). It works well in FF but in IE the
accordionpanels stay all open.
Can someone help me out.
Many thanks

Spry accordion problem

I have rebuilt my PC, and I have got a website that has had an accordion for years and it has worked fine until doing my PC rebuild... the accordion doesn't collapse anymore. It stays open, however this only happens locally; the live site still works fine, so I can't even show it to you. What has gone wrong for me locallly?
Thanks
Mat

I have tried that. The funny thing is there is a sister site that has pretty much the same javascript and css apart from colours and that works fine both on the live site AND locally.
Is the default spry framework in CS4 the most recent? I recall that when CS3 came out, I had to update that because accordions didn't close fully, and that was addressed in the update. However, that shouldn't have any bearing on an accordion which is already created as the code for was written years ago.

Spry Accordion Problems

Hi.
I would like to ensure that menus stay open while the visitor
is browsing sub menu items
Please visit my site to see what I mean:
jeffcooperdesign.co.uk/devonsailingtemp
Click on Adventure Sailing, the menu opens, then click on
Around Britain. You are taken to the page but the menu has reverted
to its closed state. I would like the Adventure Sailing menu to
stay open all the while the user is browsing its submenus.
Thanks

Then what you need it's collapsible panel. Have a look:
http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/samples/collapsiblepanel/CollapsiblePanelGroupSamp le.html
Thogh you'll need to upgrade your spry version to 1.6.1. Here
is the
link to do it:

Spry Accordion just stays open in IE8

I'm using Spy 1.6.1 and Dreamweaver CS5. The Spry Accordion menu on the left side of my page looks funky in IE and it's absolutely kiiiiiilling me.
~o~ On a PC using IE8 the panels all begin in the open position at first load and won't close no matter what. This is WRONG!
~o~ On a Mac using Safari, FireFox and Opera the accordion is working fine with one panel opening at once. This is CORRECT!
Ahhh I'm pulling out my hair. Previous threads have mentioned a similar problem but their solution has been to upgrade to Spry 1.6.1 and that's how I started off so presumably no issue for me.
So what the heck am I doing wrong? Thousand thanks for a moment of your time!

Change the following line in your main document
<script src="SpryAssets/SpryAccordion.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
to
<script src="http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/widgets/accordion/SpryAccordion.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
Either the online version of the JS is corrupt or there is a problem with version 0.17, Adobe uses version 0.15

Spry Accordion Panels view incorrect in IE8

I have a page set up using both spry menu and spry accordion panels. The problem is that in FireFox and Chrome, the pages view as they should. However, in IE, the panels on the accordion spread and are open, it doesn't view as it should. The test page is here www.sbcvote.us/index1.html the source code is below. My initial guess is that I have an open or not closed tag somewhere?

I appreciate any help here, it really doesn't make sense to me, it did work for a few viewing in IE and I must have changed something by mistake?
Thanks again.

I added a set width to the accordion css and that solved the problem of the widget running across the page. The IE issue appears to be an ongoing issue with IE. If a viewer has IE8, then hitting the compatibility button on the menu bar will solve the viewing problem. If not, it doesn't view correctly. It views fine on other browsers (Chrome, etc). Problem is how many people will know to hit the compatibility button?
Thank you for your help, I appreciate the time taken.

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.

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):
http://www.prazskematky.cz/home.php
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.

Using Spry Accordion as menu problem

I am using the Spry Accordion widget as a menu/table of contents in a website and have encountered an issue that needs customization that I cannot seem to find anywhere.
Here is the link: http://2ndlookgraphics.com/slProfile/index.html
I have placed the menu in an iframe with links pointing to "parent" which seems to work well.
My problem is that whenever a link is clicked in any other than the first panel the menu reverts to the opening stance with te first panel open.
I would like, if possible to have the the panel that is currently being accessed to stay open until another tab is opened.
If this is not possible it would be best if the first panel were initially closed and if the accordian effect would initiate on hover rather than click.
I am using a "Fluid Grid" responsive layout but that does not seem to be affecting this issue.
I would appreciate some advice on this please.

All panels closed -

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 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.
