Spry Autosuggest widget

Hi all
I an trying to use the spry auto suggest widget and so far it
works fine but I would like to be able to have the results div
overlay my web page rather than push the contents down as I am new
to all this I would appreciate any possible help or advice

In CSS, set your suggestion div class to position: absolute
and it will overlay instead of pushing the contents down.
Beware though, some things have the possibility of "bleeding
through" in IE6, and tabs in the tabbed panels will also bleed
through/overlay the suggestion div. If you have either of these
cases, you will have a lot of frustration ahead of you.

Spry Autosuggest: Show All

Does anyone know of a way to make the Spry AutoSuggest Widget show all options when you first click on it?
var SpryAutoSuggest3 = new Spry.Widget.AutoSuggest('statusform', 'suggestedStatus', 'dsStatus', 'statusType', {loadFromServer: true, urlParam: 'status'});
This grabs the data from the XML file as you type it. The XML is database generated on the fly. The XML either shows all the options, or just the ones beginning with the string passed to it from the form field.
I just want to show all the options when the field is first clicked, and allow them to type if they want to filter it down. My only other option is a normal select list, but thats not as fun
Cheers,
Steve

You can manually try to trigger the `onPostLoad` event: dsFaultCodes.notifyObservers('onPostLoad')
As usual I answer my own question just moments after posting it!
function showList(event){
    dsFaultCodes.removeAllFilters(true);
    dsFaultCodes.loadData();
    SpryAutoSuggest.showSuggestions(true);
This does work, but only once, if you clear the field and try to start again it wont list them all, just the last one you selected. For some reason the removeAllFilters isn't working.
Any ideas?
Cheers,

Hi,
change your xml structure so that each quickLink tag is
wrapped in a quickStart tag, like this:
====================== new xml =================
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>

New feature for autosuggest widget

Hi Spry developers!
I have implemented a new feature in autosuggest widget, and I
ask you if you can add this feature in Spry 1.6 release...
You can view my example here:
Multiple
Autosuggest Example
You can choose a splitting string that reinitialize the
autosuggest, so you can have multiple suggestion with one input
text field only...
Let me know what you think about this!
Thank a lot and best regards!

Hi shakexx,
Thanks for sharing your patch with us. I've opened a request
for integration in our bug base. Just to set expectations ... we're
winding down for Spry 1.6 so I wouldn't expect it to go in for the
up-coming release.

Spry Autosuggest

Hi,
I am trying to use spry autosuggest. I have written the below
code but I am not sure how to use the "loadfromserver". The adobe
documentation says to use {loadFromServer: true, urlParam: "prd"}.
What should be my urlParam? Will var dstest remain same? Thanks in
advance.

Are you still working on this?
If so, what server platform are you using? I'm pretty new to using Spry and I'm using Cold Fusion. I do have autosuggest working with using a Cold Fusion page to return data from the database.
You can read through the examples I have posted in another thread here where I was having a somewhat different problem. That is here:

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 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.

Reliability of Spry Accordion Widget

I posed a question in this forum last week and was unable to
get a helpful answer to my problem. I am trying to use the Spry
Accordion Widget on a site:
http://www.jalc.org/JazzED/s_eac_B.html
I have researched here to learn how to get the panels to
start closed with one panel to be open by default. This works
exactly like expected in Firefox and Chrome but NOT in IE.
Am I wrong in my assumptions that:
1) Folks from Adobe monitor this board and chime in with
answers/solutions or acknowledgement of bugs; and
2) Spry widgets are a reliable cross-platform technology that
have had the bugs worked out
or, is the real case
1) Adobe folks only look into these forums on an occassional
basis, if at all; and
2) Spry widgets should be left alone if you are expecting
them to perform properly relative to cross-platform capabilities.
I appreciate anyone's feedback or suggestions on these
questions.
Thanks,
Andy

I just re-read my post above and am mortified at the tone of
my message. It was in no way intended to come off as pissy, which I
fear it might have. Anyone with any thoughts on my issue, I would
appreciate your feedback.

Spry Accordion widget

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 restructuring I would have to do to the JavaScript?

Try
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Untitled Document</title>
<link href="SpryAssets/SpryAccordion.css" rel="stylesheet">
<style>
.openit .AccordionPanelContent {
display: block !important;
overflow: visible !important;
height: auto !important;
</style>
</head>
<body>
<a href="#" class="openAll">open all</a> - <a href="#" class="closeAll">close all</a>
<div id="Accordion1" class="Accordion" tabindex="0">
<div class="AccordionPanel">
    <div class="AccordionPanelTab">Label 1</div>
    <div class="AccordionPanelContent">Content 1</div>
</div>
<div class="AccordionPanel">
    <div class="AccordionPanelTab">Label 2</div>
    <div class="AccordionPanelContent">Content 2</div>
</div>
</div>
<script src="SpryAssets/SpryAccordion.js"></script>
<script src="SpryAssets/SpryDomUtils.js"></script>
<script>
function MyOpenAllEventHandler() {
    Spry.$$("#Accordion1").addClassName("openit");
function MyCloseAllEventHandler() {
    Spry.$$("#Accordion1").removeClassName("openit");
Spry.$$(".openAll").addEventListener("click" , MyOpenAllEventHandler, false);
Spry.$$(".closeAll").addEventListener("click" , MyCloseAllEventHandler, false);
var Accordion1 = new Spry.Widget.Accordion("Accordion1");
</script>
</body>
</html>
The "!important" on these rules is necessary because the Accordion widget places inline styles on the actual AccordionPanelContent elements when opening and closing them. Since inline styles have a higher CSS specificity then CSS class rules, "!important" is necessary to "trump" the inline styles.

Apologies in advance if I'm asking a daft question!!

Hi,
using your source code, I couldn't find a really inserted "Spry Accordion". If I do that (translated from german DW) > Insert > Spry > Spry Accordion, I'll find in my DW source code something like that:
<div id="Accordion1" class="Accordion" tabindex="0">
    <div class="AccordionPanel">
      <div class="AccordionPanelTab">Bezeichnung 1</div>
      <div class="AccordionPanelContent">Inhalt 1</div>
    </div>
    <div class="AccordionPanel">
      <div class="AccordionPanelTab">Bezeichnung 2</div>
      <div class="AccordionPanelContent">Inhalt 2</div>
    </div>
</div>
and in design view:
Please control your DW-entries.

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:
http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/samples/slidingpanels/SlidingPanelsSample.html
I've seen an automatic version created that might do what you
want:
http://www.3rd-eden.com/Spry-it.com/examples/slidingpanelsautomatic/
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
related question in:

Can Spry Accordion widget be nested?

I am using a Spry Accordion widget as a menu bar but need to
have the links in the content drop down to another set of links. Is
this possible? I guess I should ask, has anyone in this forum done
this successfully? Thanks.

<div class="AccordionPanelContent">Castaway the: Restaurant<br />
              1250 Harvard Rd.<br />
              Burbank, CA 91501<br />
              - www.castawayrestaurant.com - (818) 848-6691</p>
Oops!
Missing the opening <p>
I didn't find it, the validator did.

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.)
