Spry Effect Blind ONCE

Hello Everyone,
The following site.
www.austinbartour.com
I have a blind effect so that the sponsered bars are closed
after you navigate from the first page of results but if you click
on any other page it will reopen the sponsered bars.
Is there a way to only make this work once? And if you go
back to the first page reopen it?
Thanks,

u could add a finish function to it that clears the var name
of the effect
i dont know if it works or gives errors becouse i didnt
tested it
var animation_stop = function(){
var blind_func = null;
var blind_func = new Spry.Effect.Blind('example1',
{toggle:true, finish: animation_stop});

Spry Effect: Blind without blocking out space.

I've got a page with a Blind effect applied to a section. The
desired behaviour is when a user enters the page there is a
link/button for "Add Child". When this is clicked on then the Blind
effect is triggered to reveal the form.
Towards the bottom of the form are radio buttons asking if
the child is a minor. If yes is selected then another Blind effect
is triggered to reveal Guardian informaiton.
After that is a submit button and then some copyright junk at
the bottom.
The problem is that when the page loads even though the form
elements are hidden it is still reserving the space on the page.
This causes the Copyright junk to be shoved down on the page when
initially it should be higher. Also, when the "Add Child" link is
clicked, the Copyright jumps up to the top and is then pushed down
by the Blind effect.
The same thing occures with the "Minor" question. It reserves
the space for the form elements and therefor pushes the submit
button down.
I've posted a sample mock-up for your review at
http://secure.lawgate.biz/blind_test.asp
Thanks in advance for any help.

If the blinddown div is not supposed to occupy space on the
page you have to add css attribute "display" with value "none".
Otherwise the space for the div is still reserved even when
attributed with visibility:hidden.

Spry Fade/Blind combo problem

http://1g2s.arena-i.com/v2/spry-fadeBlind.html
Click Portfolio
Page I grabbed the code from : http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/demos/effects/index.html
I'm having 2 issues
1 - The fadeBlind is going the full cycle--meaning it fades/blinds in then immediately out.
I want it to fadeBlind in and stop, then click Close to fadeBlind out and stop.
2 - I am only able to run the script once for some reason. Clicking portfolio again does nothing.
Script in effects.js:
Spry.Effect.FadeBlind = function(element, options)
    Spry.Effect.Cluster.call(this, options);
    this.name = 'FadeBlind';
    var duration = 1000;
    var doToggle = false;
    var from = 0;
    var to = 100;
    if (options)
        if (options.duration) duration = options.duration;
        if (options.toggle) doToggle = options.toggle;
        if (options.from) from = options.from;
        if (options.to) to = options.to;
    var options = {duration: duration, from: from, to: to, toggle: doToggle};
    var blind = new Spry.Effect.Blind(element, options);
    this.addParallelEffect(blind);
    var options = {duration: duration, from: from, to: to, toggle: doToggle};
    var fade = new Spry.Effect.Fade(element, options);
    this.addParallelEffect(fade);
Spry.Effect.FadeBlind.prototype = new Spry.Effect.Cluster();
Spry.Effect.FadeBlind.prototype.constructor = Spry.Effect.FadeBlind;
Link properties :
I've tried...
<a onclick="runEffect('FadeBlind', 'portfolio-nav-wrap', {duration: 400, from: '0', to: '100%', toggle: true});" href="#">
<a onclick="runEffect('FadeBlind', 'portfolio-nav-wrap', {duration: 400, from: '0', to: '100%', toggle: true}); return false;" href="#">
<a onclick="return runEffect('FadeBlind', 'portfolio-nav-wrap', {duration: 400, from: '0', to: '100%', toggle: true});" href="javascript:void();">
<a onclick="return runEffect('FadeBlind', 'portfolio-nav-wrap', {duration: 400, from: '0', to: '100%', toggle: true}); return false;" href="javascript:void();">
None of the above changes anything. Any help would be appreciated.

I am using Vista, and Safari 4.0.5
I actually just figured out a workaround, by programatically setting display to 'block' for a div inside my 'container' div and it seemed to fix the problem. However I am still curious as to why I was having this problem in the first place. I've had several 'small' issues with the fade effect in different browsers, and luckily have figured out workarounds for both (the other issue was IE fading into the background color no matter what, which in the case of this site was brown instead of white and looked terrible....). Thanks for looking at it!

Doable? Setting Spry Effects to trigger one after the next ala timeline?

I've got a series of four slide effects. Each one controls another div. Simple enough. Problem is at this time they're all happening at the same time. I want it where once the first div slides into place, then the second div slides into place and so on. So there has to be a delay or something so the slide effects habe staggered starts. Is this doable in Spry? I've seen some examples but they seem to come off ars rather complex.

Nope. That's not the answer. For starters, I pasted in your code and it came back with syntax errors. so I changed it to this:
<script type="text/javascript">
var showContent1 = new Spry.Effect.Fade('ms1',{duration: 1000,from: 0, to: 100, toggle: true, finish:new Spry.Effect.Fade('ms2',{duration: 1000,from: 0, to: 100, toggle: true, finish:new Spry.Effect.Fade('ms3',{duration: 1000,from: 0, to: 100, toggle: true, finish:new Spry.Effect.Fade('ms4',{duration: 1000,from: 0, to: 100, toggle: true})})})});
</script>
Which brought up no syntax errors, so I uploaded it and the first effect happens just fine but then it tries to trigger the second effect and instead I get a window prompt in Firefox like this:
Spry.Effect ERR: Spry.Effect.Animator.prototype.stop: finish callback: Type Error: self.options.finish is not a function
So I guess they don't consider the finish:new I added a function? Don't get it.

Spry Effects jumpy at start, then smooth

Here is my sample page:
http://www.bloominvestors.com/sample.html
I am trying to put a toggle on/off feature at the head of a
dynamic table. The user can click an "Instructions On/Off" button
and the instructions on how to use the table will fade in or out. I
am applying two effects - highlight and appear. As you can see,
when the page is first loaded and you click "Instructions On/Off"
the appear effect on the text comes first, then highlight on the
background. It's jumpy. However, once it is loaded the first time,
it toggles on/off in synch beautifully. How do I get it to
synchronize the effects the first time.
Here is the code:
#instructions {
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 14px;
font-variant: small-caps;
color: #333;
text-align: center;
width: 890px;
height: 150px;
margin-right: auto;
margin-left: auto;
#instructions_title {
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 14px;
font-variant: small-caps;
color: #606;
background-color: #FFF;
text-align: center;
#instructions_interior_body {
color: #90C;
height: 200px;
width: 900px;
margin-right: auto;
margin-left: auto;
visibility: hidden;
-->
</style>
<script src="SpryEffects.js"
type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">

</script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="instructions"
onclick="MM_effectHighlight(instructions_interior_body, 1000, '',
'#330066', '#ffffff',
true);MM_effectAppearFade(instructions_interior_body, 1000, 0, 100,
true)"><span id="instructions_title"> Instructions
(On/Off)</span>
<div id="instructions_interior_body">This is how you
use this table! </div>
</div><br />

one more hopeful bump

Spry effects not recognizing classes

When adding a spry effect to an <img> element, it will pick up on ID's but not classes.
<style>
img.color {color:#fffff}
</style>
<body>
<img src="image.jpg" class="img.color" img />
</body>
In the spry effect dialogue, it will let me select the current img tag, but if i were to specify a second class
<style>
img.color {color:#fffff}
img.opacity {opacity:50}
</style>
<body>
<img src="image.jpg" class="img.color img.opacity" img />
</body>
then it wouldnt work because it can only recognize the current selection instead of the individual styles like i can do with an ID (which wont work for multiple styles as there can be only one id per element).

It makes it very hard for us to know what you are trying to achieve without seeing some code hence I shall give you some code to work with
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Untitled Document</title>
</head>
<body>
<img src="header.jpg" onClick="MM_effectAppearFade(this, 1000, 100, 0, false)">
<script src="SpryAssets/SpryEffects.js"></script>
<script>
function MM_effectAppearFade(targetElement, duration, from, to, toggle)
{Spry.Effect.DoFade(targetElement, {duration: duration, from: from, to: to, toggle: toggle});}
</script>
</body>
</html>
Just copy and paste the above code into a new document, make sure that you do have SpryEffects.js in the SpryAssets folder and try it out.

Problem combining Spry effects with image captions [was: LShub]

I am using Spry effects combo sample 2. The thumbnails in the sample are all included within the same preview div. I need to include captions underneath the images, so I have each thumbnail and caption within a separate div. The effect still works everywhere except Explorer. In Explorer 7, the image grows behind the image in the next div.
I read through the Spry for Ajax forum, but the Java Script used there is different. I have tried putting all the divs I want to grow inside another and giving the new div a position and z index. I have also added a z-index in the CSS of the preview div. Nothing I've tried works. Is there a fix?

Spry static gallery combined with Spry Effect Observers

I have set up a Spry static gallery using the
demo
here.
I would like to add a cross fade for the main image using the
Spry Effect Observers shown at the bottom of
this
demo page.
I like the thumbnail grow effect used in the first demo and
like to add a cross fade for the main image when the thumbnail is
clicked. Have someone built such an example or can someone show me
how it is done? Typically I have 4 thumbnails/images per product
page.

This is a user to user forum, Adobe will never reply to you.
Also, Spry is still a pre-release framework, its nowhere near
finished.
Its the kind of framework where you take whats available and
make
something out of it, its very flexible if you know
javascript.
I am learning javascript just to understand the little bits
that I am
experimenting with, I think its the only way forward if you
intend to do
something outside the box.

Spry Effects Issue

Hello everyone,
I'm new to spry and know very little about ajax and java but
I'm eager to learn. I downloaded spry frameworks and I'm looking at
the demo effects page. I click on the fade one and it fades away
but fades back automatically. How can I set it so it wont fade back
until it is clicked again?
Thanks

var fadename = new Spry.Effect.Fade('idoffade',

Spry.Effect.GrowShrink crazy behaviour

Hi, I was wondering if someone could help me figure out why
when I pass the mouse over the thumbnails in my photo gallery, they
act all jumpy. I used the same effect as in the Spry demo photo
gallery yet they behave differently. My gallery is located here
http://www.fotosite.ca/temp/index.htm
my grow function looks like this (and shrink is similar)
function GrowThumbnail(img, from, to){
img.style.zIndex = 150;
img.style.borderStyle = 'solid';
img.style.borderWidth = '3px';
img.style.borderColor = '#ffff00';
Spry.Effect.GrowShrink(img, {duration: 500, from: from, to:
to ,toggle:false });
Thanks in advance for any help,

Hi,
I see 2 problems:
1. The Grow/Shrink effect do not know to consider the margin,
border and padding so when you add these properties from the
JavaScript you'll have the weird behavior of images moving down and
right before animation start and then up and left when the mouse
leave.
We automatically include the 1px border in the thumbnail view
and we only change its color. You remove 2px from the border while
the mouse is not over the element and when you add them the effect
is really visible and disturbing. If you consider in keeping a such
big value for the border then you should keep it when the images
are not focused.
2. While you move the mouse over the thumbnails fast some of
the images will remain open. This is a bug that also reproduce in
our photo gallery too and I will look to fix it while the new Spry
will be released. The issue is basically generated by the fact you
are not using the toggle option while running the effect.

Spry Effects

I am using the Grow/Shrink behavior from Spry Effects in
Dreamweaver. I am trying to grow an image from 20% to 100% but the
image appears in the browser at a 100% then when I click on it it
then appears at 100% and grows to 100%. Is it possible to get the
image to appear at 20% on the page and only grow when I click on
the image.

As somebody who writes books, I can tell you why. My
"Essential Guide to
DW CS3" devotes about 250 pages to Spry, almost certainly
than any other
book on the market; but I don't include that technique. If I
tried to do
so, my 750 page book would probably be 7,500 pages long, and
would be
published a couple of years late.
One of the great things about web design is that you can do a

amazing things by experimenting. But you need to have a firm
grasp of
the basic technology to be able to do so. That's one of the
main things
you can learn from books. I had no idea how to create the
effect that
you wanted, but I did know how to apply a Spry effect. I sat
and thought
about the problem for about two minutes, tested my theory,
and was
delighted to discover that it worked. Devising new techniques
rarely
goes as quickly as that, but that's the challenge - and fun -
part of it.

Spry Effects Question

Is there a way to use a spry effect to have a div (or image)
fade away and have it show the page underneath. For example, I have
a page where I want there to be a picture when you open the page. I
then want the picture to fade out automatically, and have my web
page (with navigation, etc) underneath of it show up. It seems that
when using spry effects however, the image will fade out, but it
doesn't fade to nothing. There is something there still blocking
the content underneath.
Any help at all would be greatly appreciated!

Hi,
I've just reproduced your case and I have a solution for you.
After the effect finishes, you should made the image
invisible and in the same time to release the space occupied by the
image.
To do this, add into the effect constructor the option:
'finish:' that receives a function as parameter. On this function
you set for the image to become invisible after the effect finishes
by adding display:none.
The constructor should look like this:
var effect = new Spry.Effect.Fade('test', {duration: 3000,
from: 100, to: 0, finish:function(el,
eff){el.style.display='none';}});
The effect will be started onload.

I have a text with position: absolute; left: 20px; top: 10px;

OnError event passed to Observer in Spry.Effect in IE

Hi ,
I have this issue that I have already spent 2 days on it and desperately need help from experts here.
I have two data sources ds3 and ds4 (div id="news"). (master detail regions). On click on ds3 row I fire a javascript function "fadeOutContent(rowID,rowNum)". Code is given below:
<script>
var gEffectInProgress = null;
var gPendingSetRowIDRequest = -1;
function fadeInContent(notificationType, notifier, data)
   alert(" notificationType " + notificationType);
    if (notificationType != "onPostUpdate")
        return;
    var effect = new Spry.Effect.Fade('news', { to: 100, from: 0, duration: 2000, finish: function() {
        // The region is now showing. Process any pending row change request.
        gEffectInProgress = null;
        if (gPendingSetRowIDRequest >= 0)
            alert(" see if this causes the error");
            var id = gPendingSetRowIDRequest;
            gPendingSetRowIDRequest = -1;
            fadeOutContent(id);
    alert("starting the effect ");
    effect.start();
Spry.Data.Region.addObserver('news', fadeInContent);
function fadeOutContent(rowID,rowNum)
    // If we have an effect already in progress, don't do anything
    // We'll set the rowID when we're done.
    alert(" gEffectInProgress " + gEffectInProgress);
    if (gEffectInProgress)
        gPendingSetRowIDRequest = rowID;
        return;
    // If the correct row is already showing, don't do anything!
    if (rowNum == ds3.getCurrentRowNumber())
        return;
    gEffectInProgress = new Spry.Effect.Fade('news', { to: 0, from: 100, duration: 2000,finish: function() {
        ds3.setCurrentRow(rowID);
        alert("Currne tRow updated in ds3" + rowID);
    gEffectInProgress.start();
</script>
Div for spry regions are as below:
                    <div class="rows" spry:region="ds3">
                        <div class="rowOdd" spry:repeat="ds3" spry:odd="rowOdd" spry:even="rowEven" spry:hover="mouseOver" spry:select="selected">
                        <div onclick="fadeOutContent('{ds_RowID}','{ds_RowNumber}');">{NewsLine}</div>
                        </div>
                    </div>
                    <div id="news" spry:region="ds4" style="margin-top:20px">
                                <p>{NewsPage}</p>
                    </div>
PROBLEM:
On first row everything works fine. On clicking on second row function fadeOutContent line ds3.setCurrentRow(rowID); causes on onError event passed to Observer, as a result fadeInContent function returns without doing any Fading.
Please help with any information that can provide possible solution to this.
ALL WORKS WELL IN FF. P.S. My site is on localhost. So can not share a link.
Thanks

Sorry, I am working on localhost so far.
