Spry Effect Inside Accordion
I've come across a little hiccup when using a Spry Effect inside an Accordion. I am creating a survey page with one question per accordion tab. Some of these questions have sub-questions based on a yes or no answer.
I was able to use an onclick with a radio button to open a Spry Effect that will display more questions. The problem is that these questions are normally hidden and when the accordion renders it passes over the hidden content and ignores it when it is time for the onclick event to display them.
I was able to get it to work with one set by making the accordion open to that tab by default first (which renders the content) and then hides the sub-questions. The Spry Effect then calls a javascript function to open the fist accordion tab using the setup trigger.
But this doesn't seem to work for multiple Spry Effects on different tabs... am I missing something?
I have a demo page here (click "yes" on question 3) -- http://tv.swirelive.com/survey/demo_survey.php
Ok. I figured it out. I had to define the Spry Effects first and then the Accordion last.

Getting squish to work on IE inside accordion which is inside a table
Greetings all. I'm having trouble getting Squish to work
inside an accordion, on IE only. Everything works fine in Firefox.
Now, technically, this isn't a Spry problem; it's a problem with
the lame HTML I'm currently stuck with. See, everything works fine
when isolated in its own page. But when I drop the stuff into our
existing HTML, on IE the squish stops working. What happens is that
the div the squish is to open simply doesn't open up. it stays
hidden.
I've narrowed it down to this: it stops working when I put
the accordion divs inside a table cell. Yes, I'm stuck with using
tables for layout at this point and I can't change that. So the
question is, Is there a way I can get the squish to work in IE with
the accordion divs inside a table cell?
Here's the code:
<TABLE CLASS="bodyTable" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"
width="820">
<TR>
<TD CLASS="middleCol" align="left" width="100%"
id="middleCol">
<div class="library_Accordion" id="library">
<div
id="library_AccordionPanel_1"class="library_AccordionPanel">
<div
id="library_AccordionPanelTab_1"class="library_AccordionPanelTab"
onclick="accordionSetSelectedTabCookie('_accordion_library',0)"><h3>Search

class="library_AccordionPanelContent">

id="library_AccordionPanel_2"class="library_AccordionPanel">
<div
id="library_AccordionPanelTab_2"class="library_AccordionPanelTab"
onclick="accordionSetSelectedTabCookie('_accordion_library',1)"><h3>Add
Custom PDF</h3></div>
<div id="library_AccordionPanelContent_2"
class="library_AccordionPanelContent">
fff
<input type="checkbox" name="AddToLibrary" value="1"
onclick="effect.start();resizePanel()">Add upload to Library?
<div>
<div id="AddToLibraryDiv" align="left"
style="visibility:hidden;display:none">
<p>blah blah blah</p>
<p>blah blah blah</p>
<p>blah blah blah</p>
<p>blah blah blah</p>
<p>blah blah blah</p>
</div>
</div>
<script type="text/javascript">
var effect = new Spry.Effect.Squish("AddToLibraryDiv",{from:
"0%", to: "100%", duration: 100, toggle: true, fps: 90,
scaleContent: false});
function resizePanel(){
document.getElementById('library_AccordionPanelContent_2').style.height="auto";
document.getElementById('library_AccordionPanelContent_2').style.display="block";
document.getElementById('library_AccordionPanelContent_2').style.visibility="visible";
</script>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
var library = new
Spry.Widget.Accordion("library",{enableAnimation:true,steps:10,duration:200,defaultPanel: 0,useFixedPanelHeights:false});
</script>
</TD>
</TR>
</TABLE>
Thanks to all for any advice!
Marc E.now this is interesting: it appears that the problem is in
the construction of the effect widget. if I do this:
<input type="checkbox"
onclick="startIt();resizePanel();">check me
<script>
function startIt(){
new Spry.Effect.Squish("AddToLibraryDiv",{from: "0%", to:
"100%", duration: 200, toggle: true, fps: 90, scaleContent:
false}).start();
function resizePanel(){
document.getElementById('library_AccordionPanelContent_2').style.height="auto";
document.getElementById('library_AccordionPanelContent_2').style.display="block";
document.getElementById('library_AccordionPanelContent_2').style.visibility="visible";
</script>
Then the div will show up. now, the behavior is wrong in that
it never disappears because of the way i'm doing it. still, this at
least leads me to believe that showing/hiding the div inside of an
accordion inside of a table cell is possible. So I can't use the
constructor in the normal manner... question is, is there a way to
do it otherwise?
thanks all! -
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?
Here is a link for the page I am working on:

In IE 7 when you start your div with display: none; in order
to have the slide collapsed at start, when it expands, the text
inside the div remains hidden, in FireFox the text displays
properly. Any ideas?I just tried V1 Fusions idea and it sort of works, didn't
have time to play with it more.
The solution I found, though its still hack and I don't like
it is to add a second effect to start it off closed:
so my two effects are:
var slideClose_effect = new Spry.Effect.Slide("slide1",
{duration: 1, from: '0%', to: '0%', toggle: false});
var slide_effect = new Spry.Effect.Slide("slide1", {duration:
200, from: '0%', to: '100%', toggle: true);
where slide_effect is triggered on a click of a link
slideClose_effect is triggered on the page load
and then I start off the div as visibility = hidden for the
sliding div. Which works but now there is a blank div that
collapses on load then works perfectly. I just wish I could start
out with it collapsed at the get go.
here are my two effects -
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.

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.Mr. Andersson wrote:

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.

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

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.

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.gregmccarthy wrote:

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
lot of
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.

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.

Spry MenuBar/TabbedPanels/Accordion Javascript Not Working in IE8
As you've heard, Adobe removed the links to the Spry API files (http://blogs.adobe.com/dreamweaver/2012/08/update-on-adobe-spry-framework-availability.htm l).
My question is: If I link to a remote file, then my spry menu bar/accordion/etc. work in IE 8 properly. If I link to a local file (same content as the remote file though!!), then my spry menu bar/etc. don’t work on IE 8.
Because the remote files are no longer available on Adobe's API site, I had to change all my links and make it linked to SpryAssets/SpryMenuBar (for instance) on my local web server instead. HOWEVER, this doesn't work for IE8.
Why is that? WHy is it necessary to link to a remote file? http://spry-it.appspot.com/ works for me too because it’s remote (however, the file accordion is not available it seems!). But what if they change their link again in the future or remove the link?
Please help!
The website is www.compex.com.sg (please have a look in IE8!!)
Thanks a lot!You might want to cut your losses right now and switch to a different widget framework.
Personally, I never liked Spry. I've been using jQuery for quite some time.
If you want to get it done fast with professional results, look at Project Seven's products. They are rigorously tested to perform well in modern devices. If you need it, their customer support is excellent.

Hello,
I would like to add a "selected" class to a html table row
element if the curRowID == {dsRowID} so I tried the following
<tr spry:if="searchBar.searchResults.listDataSet.curRowID
== {ds_RowID}" class="selected" spry:select="selected"
spry:repeat="searchBar.searchResults.pagedView"
onclick='searchBar.searchResults.itemClick("{x}","{y}","{id}");'>
<td>{fileid}</td>
<td>{title}</td>
</tr>
<tr spry:if="searchBar.searchResults.listDataSet.curRowID
!= {ds_RowID}" spry:select="selected" class="listRow"
spry:repeat="searchBar.searchResults.pagedView"
onclick='searchBar.searchResults.itemClick("{x}","{y}","{id}");'>
<td>{fileid}</td>
<td>{title}</td>
</tr>
The above doesn't work for me as all the table rows are given
the "selected" class. It looks as if the spry:if is only executed
once.
I can put the spry:if inside the table cells and the code
below works i.e only one table row is "selected" with that row's td
elements having a class of "selected" -
<tr spry:select="selected" class="listRow"
spry:repeat="searchBar.searchResults.pagedView"
onclick='searchBar.searchResults.itemClick("{x}","{y}","{id}");'>
<td spry:if="searchBar.searchResults.listDataSet.curRowID
== {ds_RowID}" class="selected">{id}</td>
<td spry:if="searchBar.searchResults.listDataSet.curRowID
!= {ds_RowID}">{id}</td>
<td spry:if="searchBar.searchResults.listDataSet.curRowID
== {ds_RowID}" class="selected">{title}</td>
<td spry:if="searchBar.searchResults.listDataSet.curRowID
!= {ds_RowID}">{title}</td>
</tr>
Is it possible to use spry:if inside a tr like I want to ,
rather than each cell?
Thanks.Just to clarify here, if you had the following:
<tr spry:if="a == b" spry:repeat="ds1" spry:test="a ==
c">
It gets interpreted like this:
If a==b then spry:repeat over all the rows in the data set
and only write out the <tr> if a==c.
If a!=b then don't execute the spry:repeat, so nothing gets
written out.
In other words, spry:if always gets evaluated first and then
spry:repeat. If you need to conditionally write out something
during the repeat, then place your expression in a spry:test, which
gets evaluated for every iteration of the repeat.

I would like tot know if it is possible to update a spry
region inside an HTMLPanel. When I load an HTML part with the
Spry.Widget.HTMLPanel. the Spry region data inside it won't update.
After onPostLoad is fired when loading the new part in the
HTMLPanel I call the loadData and force the redraw of the region
and call the region method updateRegion() (as in the Adobe API
example) or the rgn.updateContent();
but nothings helps.Did u take a look at this sample?
