Spry Photo Gallery Html Data Set InLine Content

To whom that may know.
I, the confused have wasted several long hours trying to
understand how adobe did this.
http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/demos/gallery_pe/static_hd/china.html
Ok, before that you think I am a total idiot. Please look at
the code. I have made this page several time using program like
photoshop, fireworks and dreamweaver....all using xml. This page
uses html data set that is on the page. Which after looking and
many example...all the example consist of a data table. I have
looked at the javascript for many files in the code. I even
downloaded their actual js files to see if they change something. I
am assuming that they are using css to place the data to read...I
just don't see where the "ds1" statement comes into play when you
look at this code. I thank you all in advance for your time and
expert opinions.
P.S. My sample page does show all the thumbnails and links
and after I downloaded their css it does show the background to be
black. But nothing else shows.

STATIC "HTML Data Set Photo Gallery" with CAPTIONS

Because of search engines and validation I would really like to use the STATIC "HTML Data Set Photo Gallery" http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/demos/gallery_pe/static/china.html.
But I definitely need captions for the Photos. I found possibilities to add them via XML, but not for the HTML-Version.
As far as I got I think I have to edit this function from "gallery_hds.js" and add some RegEx, to extract caption text.
function PhotosFilter(ds, row, rowIndex)
    var tnStr = row.thumbimg;
    if (tnStr)
        row.path = tnStr.replace(/.*<a[^>]*href="?([^"]*)"?.*/i, "$1");
        row.thumbpath = tnStr.replace(/.*<img[^>]*src="?([^"]*)"?.*/i, "$1");
    return row;
In the following rows within the html-document
<span class="thumbnail"><a href="../../gallery/galleries/paris/images/paris_02.jpg"><img src="../../gallery/galleries/paris/thumbnails/paris_02.jpg" alt="paris_02.jpg" /></a></span>
I would insert text before the closing span-tag (or before the closing a-tag?) - like so
<span class="thumbnail"><a href="../../gallery/galleries/paris/images/paris_02.jpg"><img src="../../gallery/galleries/paris/thumbnails/paris_02.jpg" alt="paris_02.jpg" /></a>Here is some HTML Text</span>
This text must be extracted via RegEx - similar to the rows within the if-Statement of the upper mentioned function "PhotosFilter". But here my RegEx-knowledge is definitely to short!
Thank you very much in advance for any help or suggestion.

Spry Photo Gallery "Controls"

Spry Photo Gallery “Controls”
Hi Don Booth, David Powers, Kinblas et al,
Thank you all for your commitment, and I hope Spry isnt dead?!
I am years behind but I antē d up for the CS4 Master Collection at the beginning of the year and have been plowing through the many written and tv.adobe tutorials on the various programs. Some confuse so it was a pleasure to come to the straight forward instructions in Don Booth’s Photo Gallery that worked first time!
Forgive me however but although I have spent the last week perusing the forums (getting to know you all so well!) I can’t find any thread to help me to correctly add the “transport” “controls” div’s and bind them so that I get a better response to next/play/pause. I did find one detailing how to de activate the SlideShow Navigation - by deleting the container!! V1 Oct ’07.
As it seems to me there is nothing out there (in the Forum(s)) I assume this must be a simple case of ignorance on my part, and,- I feel stupid - I must be lagging way behind - for which I humbly apologize and ask for your help, thank you in anticipation.

I've set up the photo gallery demo -china,paris,egypt- and
made a swap of a couple of my photos from in Dreamweaver's property
box src for thumbs, and link for the large pic. It works in Safari
and Opera but not in firefox and I don't know about IE as I'm on a
MAC and not that for into it yet.Is there something to look for in
the code? It shows no browser issues when I test for compatability?
I'd really like to use the xml version but I have tried and had no
luck except in Safari.

Spry Photo Gallery not viewing

am new to web design and followed this tutorial to make a
Spry Photo Gallery:
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/dreamweaver/articles/spry_photo_album.html
I am using Dreamweaver CS3 and when I preview my files,
everything is perfect and in place. When I upload everything and
view it on the server, no photos show up, and all of my div layers
are out of whack or missing even.
Any ideas, suggestions?? I feel like I am missing something

Help! HTML Data set not working in IE (but in all other browsers)

Hi there,
I am totally desperate - I built a master/detail region page using a HTML data set.
http://www.atcongress.com/programme/continuousLearningByName.html
It works fine in Firefox/Safari/Chrome/Opera.
Only IE7 and IE8 give me grief - displaying javascript errors; apparrently it is not able to bind the HTML data table to the data set:
The IE Javascript Error Console displays "
'Spry.Data.HTMLDataSet' ist Null oder kein Objekt
This is in German but you'll get the idea I presume?! Translation would be something like
'Spry.Data.HTMLDataSet' is Null or not an object"
Anyway, the source HTML data table uses spry as well. This works fine on all browsers. Maybe because the HTML is on the same page?
http://www.atcongress.com/programme/continuousLearningTable.html
Any ideas? Do you need more info?
Please help - the system needs to go out to test users any day now!
Andreas
This is the entire message from the IE8 javascript error console:
Meldung: 'Spry.Data.HTMLDataSet' ist Null oder kein Objekt Zeile: 30 Zeichen: 1 Code: 0 URI: http://www.atcongress.com/programme/continuousLearningByName.html Meldung: 'Spry.Debug' ist Null oder kein Objekt Zeile: 961 Zeichen: 41 Code: 0 URI: http://www.atcongress.com/_spryAssets/SpryData.js Meldung: 'Spry.Data.initRegionsOnLoad' ist Null oder kein Objekt Zeile: 4855 Zeichen: 65 Code: 0 URI: http://www.atcongress.com/_spryAssets/SpryData.js

More info on my trial & error process - error still in this case...
I cleaned up the code in both the problematic file and the source file that they validate fine now wit the W3C validator:
http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http://www.atcongress.com/programme/continuousLearningBy Name.html&charset=(detect+automatically)&doctype=Inline&ss=1&outline=1&group=0&No200=1&ver bose=1&st=1&user-agent=W3C_Validator/1.1
Data source file:
http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.atcongress.com%2Fprogramme%2Fcontinuous LearningTable.html&charset=%28detect+automatically%29&doctype=Inline&ss=1&outline=1&group= 0&No200=1&verbose=1&st=1&user-agent=W3C_Validator%2F1.1
I'd also like to mention again that the source html file also contains an HTML data set and spry code. No problems there.
In order to make sure that is not a problem of referencing external data I also tried copying and pasting the source data table into the problematic file so that it can be used as a local data source. Still the same.
Apparently the probem is the master/detail region part. The working HTML spry file uses a standard HTML table whereas my problematic one uses a master/detail region
ANY help would be greatly appreciated!

Involve more than one HTML data set.

Hello,
I am building a website and using spry data sets for it. I need to have opportunity to involve more than one data set. In this sample found exactly what I need - http://livedocs.adobe.com/en_US/Spry/SDG/help.html?content=WSFC985AA5-C5E9-4266-ACE0-62299 A0E0B70.html but in my case I am using HTML data set not the XML. In all browsers except IE all seems to work fine, but I get an Spry debugger error - Spry.Data.HTMLDataSet: 'garden2' is not a valid element ID. 'garden2' is a id for table that I am using as HTML data source. It seems that dreamweaver ain't too supporting this thing with HTML as in that sample, because when i try to open this Data set in bindings panel I get an error - Invalid URL schema. My idea is that , one HTML data set contains the name list of the products categories and unique url for each product name , and this unique url shows path for other HTML data set for each product, which contains product list for each category. Link to the part of my website where I am trying to do this stuff http://www.varpa.eu/garden.html?row=0 .
So how can I get rid of the Spry debugger error and make it work in IE ?
Thank you,
Richard.

I found why page wasn't working on IE,I had not just closed one <tr> tag in HTML data set file. But spry debugger error still occurs in Opera , Safari , Chrome and Dreamweaver live view and I can't still open the second second data set in bindings panel.To hide this <div> with spry debugger error, I just attached style to ir visibility : hidden; . But it's still very weird though that adobe isn't supporting this option for HTML data set, but supports only for XML , isn't it ?
Richard.

HTML Data Sets on Website

Hi,
I recently started using dreamweaver to create a website for school. I uploaded the home page here:https://netfiles.uiuc.edu/rbasava2/www/home.htm
Don't worry about the messed up video.
I put up the texts for the links up on the side. What I'm trying to do is when the link is clicked on the side, I only want to reload the box in the middle which will contain all the content. I looked into this a little and I think I have to use an html data set, but I wasn't able to figure out how to set this up or how to link it up to the links so it makes it so only the box reloads?

Here are a couple of links for HTML data sets:
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/dreamweaver/articles/spry_creating_html_data_set.html
http://www.adobe.com/designcenter/dreamweaver/articles/lrvid4047_dw.html
Another technique you might want to look into is Spry Tabbed Panels:

Google index external HTML data sets?

I know one of the workarounds to have Google properly index
dynamic content is to use HTML data sets, but I'm unclear about one
thing. Does this only work if you have the HTML data set table on
the same page you use it with, or does it also work with external
HTML data sets?
For instance, will Google have a problem indexing if I use a
external HTML data set like:
<script type="text/javascript">

</script>
<div spry:region="educationLinks" id="linksContainer"
class="SpryHiddenRegion">
<ul spry:repeatchildren="educationLinks"
class="unorderedLinkList">
<li><a href="{url}"
target="_blank">{name}</a> - {description}</li>
</ul>

</div>

I'm doing the same exact thing using external HTML data sets
instead of XML. It is true that spiders will not index the external
page based on the Spry data you noted. My solution will be to
create a sitemap.xml page and submit it to the search engines. That
sitemap.xml file will contain all the pages in your site and the
spiders will use it as a central point to crawl all of those pages
specified within. So, I will just include my externally referenced
files in the sitemap.xml file.

information on that.

Using URL Parameters to Control Data Regions - HTML Data set.

Hello folks,
I creating a website for company and I am using HTML data set for siderbar navigation and content. It works beautifully and content updates as it have to without page refreshing. But I need to have an unique url for each sidebar element, so I i found this nice sample http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/samples/data_region/DataWithURLParams.html?row=20. I did analogy with that sample on my website and indeed all sidebar elements now have unique url - but here comes new problem. Now when I click on the each sidebar element - page starts to refresh . Here is my website http://www.varpa.eu . What have i done wrong ? How can I get it to load new content without refreshing the page and to have each sidebar element unique url ? Please mention that I am talking only about the sidebar , not the topbar. Please help me .
Sorry for my bad english , it aint my native language.
Thank you,
Richard.

Thank you for your response Ben.
That code which you provided is the top bar code. The top bar buttons should refresh the page, because I haven't done a spry magic with them yet.
I was talking about the sidebar where Company , History etc. elements are standing. Sidebar code is:
<div id="sidebarbuttonwrapper" spry:region="about_us" >
<div spry:repeatchildren="about_us" spry:choose="choose" >
<div id="sidebarbutton"
onclick="location.href='about.html?row={ds_RowID}';"
spry:when="{ds_CurrentRowID} == {ds_RowID}" spry:setrow="about_us" spry:selected="sidebarbuttonselected" spry:select="sidebarbuttonselected" spry:hover="sidebarbuttonhover">{button_name}</div>
<div id="sidebarbutton"
onclick="location.href='about.html?row={ds_RowID}';" spry:default="spry:default" spry:setrow="about_us" spry:hover="sidebarbuttonhover" spry:select="sidebarbuttonselected">
{button_name}
</div>
</div>
</div>
As you can see here http://www.varpa.eu/test/about.html?row=0 when I click on the sidebar elements page doesn't refresh , but the each sidebar element doesn't have unique URL.
When I included the URL params as in that sample above, now in this case http://www.varpa.eu/about.html?row=0 each element have unique URL, but this URL change makes page to refresh.
Any suggestion how to achieve that each sidebar element would have unique URL, and clicking on it would not cause page to refresh ?
Richard.

HTML Data Set not created?

I have created a very basic page to test (and learn) about dynamic spry regions, but the data set constructor does not seem to be instantiating the data set. At this point I'm keeping it very simple just to see how things work.
Per the Spry Framework documentation, I moved the framework include files into my site and I created a table in a separate .html file containing only the table, fotm_db_frag.html, as a fragment. The table is simple; opening it in DW CS3 shows it's well formed with a header row and data rows. It's id tag is set to "dsFotm"
Here's the entire page file so far:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xmlns:spry="http://ns.adobe.com/spry/">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />
<title>Untitled Document</title>

<script type="text/javascript" src="includes/SpryData.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="includes/SpryHTMLDataSet.js"></script>

<script type="text/javascript">
var dsFotmdb = new Spry.Data.HTMLDataSet("fotm_db_frag.html", "dsFotm");</script>
dsFotmdb.setColumnType("Date", "date")
</head>
<body>
<div id="container">Content for id "container" Goes Here</div>
</body>
</html>
At this point, I select the content of the container div and attempt to use visual aids to insert a spry region, but the dialog that pops up says that no data sets have been defined. I tried saving the file, I looked at Testing server options (left this set at None), I looked in the help to see if there was anything I needed to do in order for the script to run ... but I couldn't find anything that would make the new constructor instantiate data set dsFotmdb.
Help please !!!
BTW: before starting all this, I downloaded Spry 1.6.1 Framework and updated my copy of DW CS3 with the spry updater (that all seemed to work).

Try making a simple XML file and Dataset to see if that works
Call this Test.xml

Binding HTML Data Sets

In the Applications/Bindings tab I see where I can bind an
xml file to my html page - how do I do the same with an HTML data
set. I have the set working, but have to manually code the
variables into the site. I would love to use the Bindings tab.
Thanks - Don

Tutorial for a Spry photo gallery with thumbs and buttons ???

Anyone know of a a tutorial for building a Spry photo gallery with both thumbnails and next, previous, stop and play buttons(functions) ???
Like the ones on Adobe's Photo Gallery demos; http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/demos/pe_gallery.html
Adobe show the source for their Photo Gallery Demos, but that doesn't help me much ... I need a prober tutorial that tells me how to do : )
The only tutorial that I've been able to find, is one for Dreamweaver 8, without buttons - I'm looking for a updated version.
I appreciate any help very much. Thank you.

Just Google for the Spry photo gallery and you might find
http://cates-associates.net/tutorials/Tutorial-CS3-Spry.html
or even a few others.
Happy Sprying
Ben

Dynamic Spry Photo Gallery Thumbnails

I'm implementing the XML version of the Spry Photo Gallery. I
need to edit the size of of the thumbnails and make them larger,
roughly 100x130 or maybe a little smaller. Since I have so many
photos, I was planning to use CSS to handle the overflow with a
scrollbar. I noticed sizing occurs in the Index file, Gallery.js,
and in the XML file. Are there any others that im missing? I'm
having a problem with resizing them, they dont resize when I adjust
the size in those places. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks

I overlooked screen.css, there was some css that was setting
the thumbnail img tag.

Displaying an HTML Data Set on button click

I'm using the code from the
HTML
DATA Set Example
I have the code in a function and I want to have it display
in a div on the page when a user clicks a specific button.
I get this error message: "spry:region or spry:detailregion
attribute has no data set!"
This is my javascript:
function evalNames( )
var myArrayOfData = [
{ lastname: "Davis", firstname: "Kirk" },
{ lastname: "Miller", firstname: "James" },
{ lastname: "Wilson", firstname: "Alex" },
{ lastname: "Moore", firstname: "Albert" },
{ lastname: "Taylor", firstname: "Eric" },
{ lastname: "Anderson", firstname: "Vincent" },
{ lastname: "Thomas", firstname: "Anthony" },
{ lastname: "Lee", firstname: "John" },
{ lastname: "Smith", firstname: "Edward" },
{ lastname: "Johnson", firstname: "Neil" },
{ lastname: "Williams", firstname: "Steve" },
{ lastname: "Jones", firstname: "John" },
{ lastname: "Brown", firstname: "Joe" }
var hashTable = [];
for (var i = 0; i < myArrayOfData.length; i++)
myArrayOfData
.ds_RowID = i;
hashTable = myArrayOfData
var dsPeople = new Spry.Data.DataSet();
dsPeople.data = myArrayOfData;
dsPeople.dataHash = hashTable;
dsPeople.loadData();
var Output2 = "<input type="button" value="Sort By Last
Name" onclick="dsPeople.sort(['lastname', 'firstname'], 'toggle');"
/>";
Output2 +="<input type="button" value="Sort By First Name"
onclick="dsPeople.sort(['firstname', 'lastname'], 'toggle');"
/>";
Output2 +="<div spry:region="dsPeople">";
Output2 +="<table border="1">";
Output2
+="<tr><th>ds_RowID</th><th>Last
Name</th><th>First Name</th></tr>";
Output2 +="<tr
spry:repeat="dsPeople"><td>{ds_RowID}</td><td>{lastname}</td><td>{firstname}</td></tr>";
Output2 +="</table>";
Output2 +="</div>";
document.getElementById("nameResults").innerHTML = Output2;
I have a button on my page with the function evalNames() and
I have a div called "nameResults"
Is there an easier way to accomplish the same thing with the
Spry Framework? In theory should I be able to get this html data to
display in a div on the user's click of a button? Any suggestions
on making this work(it could just be a syntax error in the way my
var Output2 is written)?

Hello,
Based on the code above I discovered a number of problems:
1. The dsPeople DataSet has sense inside the function only so
the regions will not be able to use it. Instead you should move the
dsPeople DataSet declaration outside the function in global scope.
2. The code you try to inject into the innerHTML is not
valid. Inside double quotes all the double quotes should be escaped
or single quotes should be used.
3. The regions are instantiated only a single time on page
load so if you need to inject a new region into the page you'll
have to reinitialize the regions or the new region will not be
considered.
Based on your code above I change it a little bit to solve
the issues:
<script type="text/javascript">
var dsPeople = new Spry.Data.DataSet();
function evalNames( )
var myArrayOfData = [
{ lastname: "Davis", firstname: "Kirk" },
{ lastname: "Miller", firstname: "James" },
{ lastname: "Wilson", firstname: "Alex" },
{ lastname: "Moore", firstname: "Albert" },
{ lastname: "Taylor", firstname: "Eric" },
{ lastname: "Anderson", firstname: "Vincent" },
{ lastname: "Thomas", firstname: "Anthony" },
{ lastname: "Lee", firstname: "John" },
{ lastname: "Smith", firstname: "Edward" },
{ lastname: "Johnson", firstname: "Neil" },
{ lastname: "Williams", firstname: "Steve" },
{ lastname: "Jones", firstname: "John" },
{ lastname: "Brown", firstname: "Joe" }
var hashTable = [];
for (var i = 0; i < myArrayOfData.length; i++)
myArrayOfData.ds_RowID = i;
hashTable = myArrayOfData;
dsPeople.data = myArrayOfData;
dsPeople.dataHash = hashTable;
dsPeople.loadData();
var Output2 = "<input type='button' value='Sort By Last
Name' onclick='dsPeople.sort([\'lastname\', \'firstname\'],
\'toggle\');' />";
Output2 +="<input type='button' value='Sort By First
Name' onclick='dsPeople.sort([\'firstname\', \'lastname\'],
\'toggle\');' />";
Output2 +="<div spry:region='dsPeople'>";
Output2 +="<table border='1'>";
Output2
+="<tr><th>ds_RowID</th><th>Last
Name</th><th>First Name</th></tr>";
Output2 +="<tr
spry:repeat='dsPeople'><td>{ds_RowID}</td><td>{lastname}</td><td>{firstname}</td></tr>";
Output2 +="</table>";
Output2 +="</div>";
var el = document.getElementById("nameResults");
el.innerHTML = Output2;
Spry.Data.initRegions();
</script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="nameResults" style="border: 1px solid
red"></div>
<a href="#" onclick="evalNames(); return false;">Eval
Names</a>
</body>
A more easy way to achieve your goal is that the region to
already exists in page having either the visibility hidden or the
display: none CSS attributes set and the button only to change the
CSS property to display the region. The solution in this situation
will work better from point of view of performance as the
initRegions manual call will initialize again all the regions in
page.

Spry Tables and Xml Data Sets viewed in IE7

Has anyone ever run into a problem with Spry Tables and Xml
Data Sets viewed in IE7? Work fine in IE6 and Firefox, but get the
error "exception caught while loading feed.xml: [object Error]" in
IE 7. Any ideas?
Attached is the xml I'm using.
Thanks

I came looking for the answer to this question. I could not
find an answer. Eventually I found it the answer that worked for
me, a graphic designer with not much experience in xml.
The following url provided an errata file in PDF format:
www.peachpit.com/dwcs3cib
which includes the following addendum to the incomplete
instructions in the book i was using to learn about spry:
"If Internet Explorer 7 is your primary browser, you'll nee
to take some extra steps to view spry dynamic content locally.
First, your site must be within the local server webroot; be sure
your Lessons folder is stored within the Inetpub>wwwroot folder.
Next, double-click the site name in the files panel to open the
Site Definition dialogue. Click the Testing Server category; from
the Access List choose Local/Network. Click Okay to close the Site
Definition dialogue. Now, when you preview your page with Internet
Explorer, your local Web server (localhost) serves the page as
designed."
Horray for me! Now i can move on from here and actually get
some work done!
