Spry collapsible panel stays open in Internet Explorer.

I'm trying to use the spry collapsible panel to hide and show inormation, and it will not stay closed. I've used the default closed option in the properties panel, and made sure the eye in design view is closed. Please give some suggestions for correcting this problem.

The out-of-the-box SpryCollapiblePanel works like a charm.
This means that you have altered the HTML, CSS and/or the JS.
Because we are not privy to what you have done, it is not possible to help you find a solution.
I recommend that you upload the site and supply a link to that site.

Spry collapsible panel to open from link on same page

Hi guys.
I have a page with about 17 collapsible panels. What I would like to do is in my sidebar have a quicklinks which will 1) anchor down to the relevant panel and 2) open that closed panel.
My first problem I know can easily be fixed with anchor tags which I have done. I will also assume that I can do something like <a href="#anchorname" onclick="" > to solve my 2nd problem, but can someone maybe advise to what the command is to actually open the panel. I have attached a sample below of one of my panels:
var banking10 = new Spry.Widget.CollapsiblePanel("banking10", {contentIsOpen:false});
I have VERY VERY VERY limited experience with Javascript (else I guess this would have been a breeze )
Thanks in advance!

Spry collapsible panel to open horizontally

Greetings,
I am using CS5.
Is there a way to make the sprycollapsiblepanel open horizontally (left to right...right to left) not the default, vertically (up and down)?
Much Thanks!

Hi Gramps,
Much thanks! I was hoping a horizontal feature would have been added by now (the post looks to be 2 years old), but this looks like the slide effect is what I want.
Thanks again!

Spry Collapsible panel - open and closed default question...

I am using a Spry Collapsible panel in a vertical nav menu (DW CS4) and it's in a template for my site. I want it to be closed as default on the Home page, but when a visitor clicks to open it and selects their option, I would like it to remain open on the selected page - Is there a way to do this?
Thank you all!

Spry Collapsible Panels - Way to set them open only once per visit?

I'm wondering if there is a way to set a Spry Collapsible
Panel to be automatically open on the initial loading of the site,
but as people navigate around the site and back and forth from the
home page, to be able to have it closed on subsequent visits to the
home page.
Right now I have a collapsible panel set to OPEN by default
when someone first hits the home page, but if they navigate around
the site and then click to the home page again, they get the panel
open again. Naturally, that will end up annoying people.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance!

How to make Spry Collapsible Panels open one at a time?

Hello,
I am using CS5 and want to use the spry collapsible panels. What I notice (and I think this wasn't the case in cs3) is that all panels can be open at the same time. I don't want that happen. I only want one panel to be open at a time. If someone clicks on a panel that is closed, I want the current panel to close and the one they clicked on to open. I don't want multiple panels to be opne at once. How can I do this? I am not a web developer by any means, so please be easy on me with code. I think in CS3 it used to work this way. Any help would be appreciated! Thank you in advance!

GRAMPS!! That's it!! It was the accordian panel I had used in the past!!!! Oh, thank you, I was driving myself crazy as to why it wasn't working the way I had remembered!!!!!!!! THANK YOU!!
I was told you would probably help me find the right answer by Hans-g!
Thanks again!

Spry Collapsible panel works in Safari, Firefox but not in IE 7 and 8

Revising a page and wish to have the Spry Collapsible Panel load "closed". Never used Spry before but is works ok as mentioned but when page is opened in IE the panel is open and stays open. Clicking does not close it.
The panel tab reads "CLICK To See Matched Rail & Stile Set-Up Blocks".

Jon,
Not a good way to start. You need to have some basic skills to work on websites. OK, if you want to build a bridge for your toy cars to cross a model railway line, you could probably cope, but to build a bridge in the real world, you need real knowledge.
Having said that, I have pulled all of the relevant code from your page to re-construct the collapsible panel and, although the markup would not be the one I would have gone for, the widget works in all browsers, see the code below. This means that the problem lies elsewhere.

My verticle Spry menu will not work in Internet Explorer

I know a lot of people have posted about similar issues, and I've researched multiple "solutions" on multiple forums for something that will work, but nothing has solved the problem so far.
Here is a link to the prototype homepage: http://www.abrasivesales.com/indexnew.html
Everything looks great on my mac when opened in Firefox or Safari, however when opened on Internet Explorer on a PC, the menu ceases to be verticle, instead extending horizontally past the end of the screen. Also, the menu items adopt a white background color, and none of the submenu items will appear when their parent menu item is rolled over.
PLEASE HELP....this issue has kept me from launching the site for a week now, and my superiors are wondering why this problem is taking me longer than it did to build the homepage in the first place, so I'd love to look like less of an idiot.
I assuming this is a CSS issue, so I've posted my CSS code below:

I solved one of my own problems. It turns out I still had a setting for width set to "auto" instead of a pixel amount. So now my menu displays normally and my submenus are no longer invisible.
One one tab, "Products", I set the top at -430px, which internet explorer seems to ignore. I'm so close! I'll search for the answer but any help is greatly appreciated.

Link to tabs in spry collapsible panel work in IE-8; not Firefox or Safari

I have little experience with Spry. I've asked my question on the user forum in Dreamweaver several times with no response. I am hoping that someone somewhere in the Adobe community can help me resolve this issue.
I created links from the top of a page to the tabs of a spry collapsible panel underneath.
In IE-8, on one page, with a small collapsiable panel, clicking the link creates a rollover effect on the appropriate panel. This effect works wonderfully for my purposes.On another page, with a long collapsible panel, clicking the link jumps the user to the panel AND creates a rollover effect. Perfect.
In Firefox and Safari, clicking the link does nothing. If I right-click the link in Firefox, I create a duplicate of the page.
I am using Windows XP and Dreamweaver CS4
http://www.judydiamondstone.net/Writing.html
click any of the links in the first section of the page
Thanks.

Arnout, Thank you so much for the guidance!
My code now looks like this:
(Click the first tab
below to open; click to close.)
but it still doesn't work
(I still like the error effect in IE!)
Do I need to add to the CSS or JS script that comes with the spry widget?
I am accessing all the tutorials I can find, including a very clear
explanation of event handlers in a Safari online search but I'm obviously
missing one or more basic concepts.

Google map inside the spry collapsible panel

So this time I've bumped into interesting 'bug'. I've placed the google map inside the spry collapsible panel. Panel is set to the closed mode on load of page. When I open the tab, map appears, but address marker is hidden behind the top left corner. If I place the same map outside the collapsiple panel it renders all well.
So my question is whether there is any way around this issue. When I know where the marker is hidden I can simply move the map and see it, but customer who's not aware of the problem will see only blank map with not marked address which is not acceptable.
cheers,
Simon

Sure mate. Here you go:
<div id="CollapsiblePanel1" class="CollapsiblePanel">
              <div class="CollapsiblePanelTab" tabindex="0">SHOW MAP</div>
              <div class="CollapsiblePanelContent">
              <cfmap width="242" height="200" zoomlevel="12" name="mainMap" markercolor="333444" showscale="false"
typecontrol="none" showcentermarker="true" centeraddress="#get_event.event_address1#, #get_event.event_address2#, #get_event.event_city#,#get_event.event_county#, #get_event.event_postcode#, #get_event.event_country# "
></cfmap>
              </div>
            </div>
And this bit goes at the bottom of the code :
<script type="text/javascript">
var CollapsiblePanel1 = new Spry.Widget.CollapsiblePanel("CollapsiblePanel1", {contentIsOpen:false});
</script>
And that would be the preview that I get once the panel is open:
And that is the preview of how it should look:
As you can see the map marker sticks to the top left corner. I was wondering whether there is any way to re-focus it once the panel is open.
cheers,
Simon

Need help with spry collapsible panel (menu)

I learn as I go when I created my website http://www.invitation-fascination.com/shapes.html and so far I've created a page with 13 spry collapsible panels- I think it came out pretty well. Now this is what I want to add to the page:
I want to create a selector (drop down) menu above the panels with the option to select any one of the 13 panels.
Once selected it will move directly to that panel and open it.
I've tried the piselect thing and with the "open" and "close" button that will programatically open the panels, but what I want is for the panel to be selected from the menu and then the page goes directly to that panel and it then opens.
Is there a way this can be done? Please help
I'm really not that good at this stuff- please be easy with your response- thank you

tabindex="0">{product_name}</div>
<div
class="CollapsiblePanelContent">">{product_details}</div>
</div>
</div>
This example displays the field i want from the data set
{product_name}, but will not collapse open the panel containing
{product_details}.
Any suggestions?
