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.

Spry Effects questions

I have two (2) questions about using the Spry Effects script in a horizontal slide configuration.
Question 1:
In DW CS4 if I add the command <duration: 500,> the numerals turn red. I also get an error in line ???? from DW which is the line the variable is on. If I go ahead and accept the change I see the desired quicker slide in Firefox and Safari. The default is 1,000 milliseconds so I am cutting it in half. But! In Internet Explorer 7 the script locks the browser window up. Even if I revert to the saved HTML and JS files the problem still persists. This problem also occurs if I set the duration higher than 1,000 milliseconds.
This also happens if I upload the files to the Internet. I was forced to redo the line in question and copy my saved SpryEffects.js over to my working directory. This unlocked the file in Internet Explorer 7. Any suggestions on how to get the quicker response time in Internet Explorer 7?
Question 2:
In Firefox I get a border around the button that enacts the Spry Effect. I set the text decoration to "none" for both of the IDs for the images. This thin line does not appear in Internet Explorer 7 or Safari 4.0.3. My version of Firefox is version 3.5.3.
The file can be viewed here.
Thank you in advance.

I have also found that the Spry works better in FireFox than
IE7, when it comes to video
http://www.catholicmemphis.com/catholicmensconference.html
Check out this page and you will see that the Spry tabbed
menu stops the video in FireFox but not in Explorer. I have seen
this type of problem in a few forums, but know one gives an answer
to those looking for solutions....

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 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.

Spry.Effect ERR on web page

Good day,
I need some help plz. I am getting an annoying alert on my
web-site that I can't seem to clear. The alert is Spry.Effect ERR:
Element "apdiv1" not found. After clicking OK, another SpryEffects
alert pops up saying Spry.Effects.getstyleProp: [object error]. I
can't find any spry effect getstyle prop in the code or any object
that relies on getstyleProp. I'm new to the software (possibly very
evident in my question) but I can usually figure stuff out and I'm
totally confused. I should also mention that these alerts only pops
up when selecting links to the other web pages from the home page
only. You can navigate the rest of the web pages just fine and even
back to the home page, but for some reason when you go back to the
home page and select another pages link, you get the same alerts.
If you want to see exactly what I'm talking about, go to

Thanks for any help you can give me.

Looking at Retrospective's code in test.html, I see that the
error is due to the fact he had a script block in his region:
<script type="text/javascript">

</script>
That executes immediately when the page is loaded, even
before the region is processed. To get rid of the problem, all that
has to be done is remove the script block and move its code into a
region observer so that it gets exectued any time the region markup
is re-generated. Here's how it should look:
<html>
<head>
<script src="SpryTabbedPanels.js"
type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="SpryTabbedPanelsExtensions.js"
type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="xpath.js"
type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="SpryData.js"

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.

BUG report about Spry.Effect.Highlight

When the Spry.Effect.Highlight effect is not accomplished,
and click the trigger link, will report the error "startColor
undefined".

Can you please elaborate? Which "trigger link" do you mean?
Are you using the Spry 1.4 release?

Squish effect question

I have a squish effect on my site. Is it possible to make the
effect while I load a site, so that the box is getting visible when
the site load?
I know I can do this:
<body onClick="Spry.Effect.Squish('product_box');">
But then the box disapear when then site loads. I want it to
be shown when the page load (what means i have to be disapered
before)
I hope you understand what I mean. If not, please feel free
to ask.
Thanks a lot
Best Regards
Kim

Hi
If I try that the div layer is invisible at startup. When
putting it into onload as you describe, what happen is that the
invisible area get smaller.
What I want is to make it start up as small (Like if you have
pressed squish once), and when site loads the area must be big
using the squish effect (as if I click squich secound time).
So instead of making the div invisible, how can I then set
the area to be small (as if you have clicked the squish effect
once) at startup?

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:

.thumbs {
    clear: both;
    margin: 5px auto;

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
-Chris

var fadename = new Spry.Effect.Fade('idoffade',
{toggle:true});

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
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.

Spry Effects doesnt work with position:absolute CSS

HI guys,
I have a text with position: absolute; left: 20px; top: 10px;
to it and using Spry's Fade Effect, it just shows it without any

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.

Spry.Effect.Slide - cannot set initial state.

I have 3 div elements using the Spry.Effect.Slide effect. I
use CSS to close 2 elements and leave 1 element open. It works fine
in Firefox. But in IE7 when the hidden elements slide down to show,
its still display of none!! In firefox, the elements are displayed
fine when the slide effect is started. Below is my code.
Is there another simple approach that will work in IE7?
<style>
#menuGroupAboutCompany { display:none; }
#menuGroupAboutProducts {}
#menuGroupMoreMatchpoint { display:none; }
</style>
<script type="text/javascript">
var menuGroupAboutCompany_toggle = new
Spry.Effect.Slide('menuGroupAboutCompany', {duration:500, from:
'0%', to: '100%', toggle:true,
setup:menuGroupInit('menuGroupAboutCompany') });
var menuGroupAboutProducts_toggle = new
Spry.Effect.Slide('menuGroupAboutProducts', {duration:500,
toggle:true});
var menuGroupMoreMatchpoint_toggle = new
Spry.Effect.Slide('menuGroupMoreMatchpoint', {duration:500, from:
'0%', to: '100%', toggle:true, setup:menuGroupInit});
</script>

Sorry, previous code posting had some other code I was
experimenting with. This is the current code that works in Firefox.
<style>
#menuGroupAboutCompany { display:none; }
#menuGroupAboutProducts {}
#menuGroupMoreMatchpoint { display:none; }
</style>
<script type="text/javascript">
var menuGroupAboutCompany_toggle = new
Spry.Effect.Slide('menuGroupAboutCompany', {duration:500, from:
'0%', to: '100%', toggle:true});
var menuGroupAboutProducts_toggle = new
Spry.Effect.Slide('menuGroupAboutProducts', {duration:500,
toggle:true});
var menuGroupMoreMatchpoint_toggle = new
Spry.Effect.Slide('menuGroupMoreMatchpoint', {duration:500, from:
'0%', to: '100%', toggle:true});
</script>
