Spry Repeat Ticker

I want the ticker to automatically flip through <title>
in time-based intervals. When a user clicks on the <title>
that is being displayed it takes them to a specific URL.
I've searched through the forums for quite a while but can't
seem to find any info on this.
My xml doc is set up like this:
<newsobject>
<title>News title goes here</title>
<desc>News content goes here ........</desc>
<newsobject>
<newsobject>
<title>2nd News title goes here</title>
<desc>2nd News content goes here ........</desc>
<newsobject>
...etc

Problem with Spry:Repeat and Slide Effect on IE6

I run the website for my kids' hockey association and I'm not
a web programmer. I am trying to display events in a Spry region
using spry:repeat. The data is coming from a Google Calendar . I
display the event date and title on the main page. I have the
onclick set to call a javascript function that exposes the details
using the spry slide effect. It works ok except in IE6.
The following creates my dataset from a method call to a
Coldfusion component that returns the XML I need:
<script type="text/javascript">
var ds1 = new Spry.Data.XMLDataSet("
http://tornadoyouthhockey.org/Events.cfc?method=EventXML",
"events/event",{distinctOnLoad:false});
</script>
The following function slides open the detail:
<script type="text/javascript">
function startBlind(rid) {
var contentdiv = document.getElementById('panel'+ rid
+'Content');
var panel_height = contentdiv.clientHeight;
if (panel_height<100){
var bd = new Spry.Effect.Blind('panel'+ rid +'Content',
{duration: 800, to: '100px', toggle: true});
else {
var bd = new Spry.Effect.Blind('panel'+ rid +'Content',
{duration: 800, to: '0px', toggle: true});
bd.start();
</script>
Within the repeat I have:
<div class="EventPanelLabel"
onclick="startBlind({ds_RowID});">{startDate} —
{title}</div>
I think the XML looks OK but for some reason when the page
loads, IE6 returns:
Exception caught while loading
http://tornadoyouthhockey.org/Events.cfc?method=EventXML:
[object Error]
The page seems to work fine in Safari and Firefox on the Mac
and IE7 as well as Firefox on Windows. Just IE6 seems to be having
the problem. Could you please take a look at
http://tornadoyouthhockey.org
and provide any suggestions you may have?
Also, is there a way to hide the {startDate} - {title} I'm
seeing while the page loads?
Thanks,
Kevin

Kin:
Thanks for your reply. I made the changes you suggested but,
unfortunately, IE6 is still giving me the same error when the page
loads:
Exception caught while loading
http://tornadoyouthhockey.org/Events.cfc?method=EventXML:
[object Error]
Could this be part of the problem an need to be changed as
well? :
<div id="panel{ds_RowID}Content"
Any other ideas? The page is live if you'd care to look...

Help with Spry Rating Widget within a Spry Repeating Region

My link http://www.youthinkyougotitbad.com
This is a long question, but it seems to me if answered somewhere it could help alot of people in the spry community creating comment boards as it uses three important spry widgets: rating, repeating, and tabbed panels. I am trying to use spry rating widget within a spry repeating region within a spry tabbed panel with xml. I was trying to go with the pulse light script (http://forums.adobe.com/message/3831721#3831721) but Gramps told me about the spry rating widget. But I have ran into a couple more problems. First, I couldnt find that much information on the forums or online about how to do the php page with the spry rating widget. None of these have any information on how to do it:
http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/articles/rating_overview/index .html
http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/articles/data_api/apis/rating. html
http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/samples/rating/RatingSample.ht ml
And it seems that the official examples are so poor (or I am just ignorant, which def could be a possiblity) it shows
to set the initial rating value from the server, but uses a static value of 4
http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/samples/rating/RatingSample.html
<span id="initialValue_dynamic" class="ratingContainer">
         <span class="ratingButton"></span>
         <span class="ratingButton"></span>
         <span class="ratingButton"></span>
         <span class="ratingButton"></span>
         <span class="ratingButton"></span>
         <input id="spryrating1_val" type="text" name="spryrating1" value="4" readonly="readonly" />
         <span class="ratingRatedMsg sample">Thanks for your rating!</span>
</span>
<script>
var initialValue_dynamic = new Spry.Widget.Rating("initialValue_dynamic", {ratingValueElement:'spryrating1_val'});
</script>
I finally found a site that has the php and mysql setup.
http://www.pixelplant.ro/en/articles/article-detail/article/adobe-widgets-for-download.htm l
But its not perfect. It has the same problem that I ran into with Pulse light, that you had to use php echo within the spry repeating region to set the initial value from the server:
<span id="spryrating1" class="ratingContainer">
         <span class="ratingButton"></span>
            <input type="text" id="ratingValue" name="dynamic_rate" value="<?php echo $row['average']?>"/>
        </span>
        <script type="text/javascript"
            var rating1 = new Spry.Widget.Rating("spryrating1", {ratingValueElement:'ratingValue', afterRating:'serverValue', saveUrl: 'save.php?id=spryrating1&val=@@ratingValue@@'});
        </script>
So instead, I tried with three of my panels (www.youthinkyougotitbad.com) to get the average rating from xml by using the following queries:
Recent
Returns the blurts in most recent order along with average rating
SELECT Blurt.Id_blurt, Blurt.Name, Blurt.Location, Blurt.Blurt,Blurt.`Date`,DATE_FORMAT(Blurt.`Date`, '%l:%i %p on %M %D, %Y') as Date, ratings.rating_id, Avg(ratings.rating_value) as average_r FROM ratings Left Join Blurt On ratings.rating_id = Blurt.Id_blurt Group By Id_blurt ORDER BY Blurt.`Date` DESC
Wet Eyed
Returns the blurts in highest ratings order along with the average rating
SELECT Blurt.Id_blurt, Blurt.Name, Blurt.Location, Blurt.Blurt, DATE_FORMAT(Blurt.`Date`, '%l:%i %p on %M %D, %Y') as Date, ratings.rating_id, Avg(ratings.rating_value) as average_r FROM ratings Left Join Blurt On ratings.rating_id = Blurt.Id_blurt AND ratings.rating_value > 0.1 Group By Id_blurt ORDER BY average_r Desc
Dry Eyed
Returns the blurts in lowest rating order along with the average rating
SELECT Blurt.Id_blurt, Blurt.Name, Blurt.Location, Blurt.Blurt, DATE_FORMAT(Blurt.`Date`, '%l:%i %p on %M %D, %Y') as Date, ratings.rating_id, Avg(ratings.rating_value) as average_r FROM ratings Left Join Blurt On ratings.rating_id = Blurt.Id_blurt AND ratings.rating_value > 0.1 Group By Id_blurt ORDER BY average_r
These all return the correct xml in the correct order.And they return the average rating of each blurt which I can send to my page with xml.
My first question is that I dont know how to configure the query on my fourth panel Empathized & Advised the same way because it already has a Group By for the Comment Id.
SELECT `Comment`.id_Blurt, COUNT(*) as frequency, Blurt.Id_blurt, Blurt.Name, Blurt.Location, Blurt.Blurt, DATE_FORMAT(Blurt.`Date`, '%l:%i %p on %M %D, %Y') as Date FROM Blurt, `Comment` WHERE Blurt.Id_blurt = `Comment`.id_Blurt GROUP BY `Comment`.id_Blurt ORDER BY COUNT(*) DESC";
Not sure if you guys need more information to understand that all, if so just ask.
So after I get my average value through xml to the first three panels, I set my spry repeating region up like this:
(Blurt panel)
<div spry:region="pv1" spry:repeatchildren="pv1">
           <div class="blurtbox">
            
            <h3> "{pv1::Blurt}"</h3>
            <p> Blurted from {pv1::Location} at {pv1::Date}</p>
            <p>Empathize or Advise about {pv1::Name}'s Blurt #<a href="detailblurt.php?blurtid={pv1::Id_blurt}"> {pv1::Id_blurt}</a></a></p>
           <span id="{pv1::Id_blurt}" class="ratingContainer">
            <span class="ratingButton"></span>
            <span class="ratingButton"></span>
            <span class="ratingButton"></span>
            <span class="ratingButton"></span>
            <span class="ratingButton"></span>
            <span class="ratingRatedMsg">Thank You! Your tears have been tallied.</span>
            <input type="text" id="ratingValue" name="dynamic_rate" value="{pv1::average_r}"/>
        </span>
        <script type="text/javascript">
            // overview of available options and their values:
            // http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/articles/rating_overview/index.html
            var rating1 = new Spry.Widget.Rating("{pv1::Id_blurt}", {ratingValueElement:'ratingValue', afterRating:'serverValue', saveUrl: 'save.php?id={pv1::Id_blurt}&val=@@ratingValue@@'});
        </script>
             <br/>
           </div>
          </div>
Ok, it registers the right vote in the database with the right blurt id each time. But I am having two problems so far:
One, even though {pv1::average_r} returns the correct average through xml, it doesn't show the initial rating value for each of the repeating blurts. It seems to show the first one correct, and then just repeat that same value to the other ones that follow. I just dont understand since it can get the correct server value right after you vote (afterRating:'serverValue), that I can't manipulate spryrating.js in some way that I could just replace 'ratingValue' in ratingValueElement:'ratingValue' with something to give me the initial server value.
Two: Is even more mysterious to me, if you play around with voting on the site, sometimes you are unable to vote on different blurts. Its weird. It seems like that the javascript is completely off just on those blurts. And sometimes its a whole row, sometimes none. But so far its never a problem on the first tabbed panel (Recent), only on the other three. As far as I know, the coding is exactly the same in each tab's repeating region except for the different xml input.
And, now on the live server, sometimes the pics of tears used to voting dont show up until you click.
Any help on those three questions (how to query the fourth panel, how to show the initial server value, and the glitches with voting) would be greatly appreciated!! I looked pretty hard on adobe forums and other sites, and didnt see much on how to really use the spry rating widget with php and xml.
Thanks!!

Update:
Ok, the first query on the Recent tab doesnt work for me because it wont show unless its already voted, and since these are supposed to be new blurts, that kind of breaks the whole site:
"SELECT Blurt.Id_blurt, Blurt.Name, Blurt.Location, Blurt.Blurt,Blurt.`Date`,DATE_FORMAT(Blurt.`Date`, '%l:%i %p on %M %D, %Y') as Date, ratings.rating_id, Avg(ratings.rating_value) as average_r FROM ratings Left Join Blurt On ratings.rating_id = Blurt.Id_blurt Group By Id_blurt ORDER BY Blurt.`Date` DESC";
So I replaced it with what I originally had.
"SELECT Blurt.Id_blurt, Blurt.Name, Blurt.Location, Blurt.Blurt,Blurt.`Date`,DATE_FORMAT(Blurt.`Date`, '%l:%i %p on %M %D, %Y') as Date FROM Blurt ORDER BY Blurt.`Date` DESC";
But this doesn't provide me with the initial average rating:(

Work around for spry:repeat="ds1 ds2" limitation

I need to have both data sets repeat when using a Spry repeating region:
<div id="apDiv4" spry:region="ds1 ds2">
    <table class="sprytable" border="1">
      <tr>
        <th spry:sort="Q#">Q#</th>
        <th spry:sort="Category">Category</th>
        <th spry:sort="Question">Question</th>
        <th spry:sort="You">You</th>
      </tr>
      <tr spry:repeat="ds1 ds2">
        <td>{ds1::Q#}</td>
        <td>{ds1::Category}</td>
        <td>{ds1::Question}</td>
        <td>{ds2::You}</td>
      </tr>
    </table>
</div>
If I use ds1 in the spry:repeat, ds1 data will repeat (but ds2 will use the first value); or if I specify ds2, ds1 will use the first value.
I need them both to repeat.
I have spent so much time in forums, etc. and can't seem to find a workaround.
My only work around is to combine ds1 and ds2 and reload them together from the server - yuk!
ds1 is fixed and large. ds2 is small and dynamic so reloading really sucks.
Following are the ds Vars - probably irrelevent:
var ds1 = new Spry.Data.HTMLDataSet(null, "rsfamily", {sortOnLoad: "Q#", sortOrderOnLoad: "ascending" }); ds1.setColumnType("Q#", "number"); var ds2 = new Spry.Data.HTMLDataSet("youranswersIRtab.php", "youranswerstab", {}); I will worship the person who gives me an idea.
Thanks

Thanks V1, timkho and coolsanwa for your thoughts. Since you've been so patient (and understanding) let me briefly tell you what I'm trying to do.
I'm considered good at multi-dimensional databases and have recently fallen in love with DreamWeaver to build a pretty complex site so I don't have to be a real expert at PHP, Spry, Ajax, JavaScript, DOM, HTML, CSS etc (I suck, but most everything is working).
I wish I could point you to a site but I need to keep it secret for a bit - its strictly on my PC for now.
Let me explain the snippit, which I still don't have working .
ds1 has three columns and ds2 has one.
ds1          ds1               ds1                         ds2               ds3
Q#          Category         Question                 You               Compare1
1          Boats               How big?                    24               36
2          Boats               What color?               Blue               Red
3          House               Number rooms?          3                    6
4          House               Sq feet?                    1000               3000
5          House               Have garage?               No               Yes
etc to 200+
ds1 doesn't change and I don't want to reload it
ds2 are your saved answers (I will have a form to fill in and a Submit- different subject)
ds3 is user selected comparisons, retrieved from a MD database (academic because ds2 has me stopped).
Category has table row classes (to whole row), which will drive Tabbed Panels.
ds1, ds2, ds3 data have the class assigned to each row (setRowSelector) classes for columns(setColumnSelector).
I want a Spry Table with its many neat features (eg. sorting) that combines the 3 ds's (lets worry about 2 for now).
Incredibly simple but I'm stuck.
Timko suggestion results in syntax error- removing single quotes.
Collsanwa suggestion creates new columns so repeat is done for each row after You column:
24,Blue,3,1000,No
24,Blue,3,1000,No
24,Blue,3,1000,No
24,Blue,3,1000,No
24,Blue,3,1000,No
24,Blue,3,1000,No
200+ times
(I'll repeat the snippit) . Could you point me to an explanation for the spry:if id/mmid
Thanks so much.
<div id="apDiv4" spry:region="ds1 ds2">
    <table class="sprytable" border="1">
      <tr>
        <th spry:sort="Q#">Q#</th>
        <th spry:sort="Category">Category</th>
        <th spry:sort="Question">Question</th>
        <th spry:sort="You">You</th>
      </tr>
      <tr spry:repeat="ds1">
        <td>{ds1::Q#}</td>
        <td>{ds1::Category}</td>
        <td>{ds1::Question}</td>
        <td spry:repeat="ds2" spry:if="'{ds1::id}' == '{ds2::mmid}'">{ds2::You}</td>

      </tr>
    </table>
</div>

Spry:repeat works in Mozilla and not IE 6

I made this little test in Spry.
It happens to work in Mozilla but not in Internet Explorer 6
which is quite weird since I almost copy/pasted from one of the
included examples (the example worked fine everywhere).
Can anyone point me in the right direction please?
Thanks...

<header>Proin convallis. Duis sed est ut ligula

</news>
</allnews>

I spent days trying to figure it out and the minute I post it
here the solution comes to me!
The problem was that the XML file was being generated by a
PHP script which was not outputting the appropriate headers.
You can use:
header('Content-Type: text/xml');
Or use this other one if your charset is NOT US-ASCII:
header('Content-Type: application/xml');

Help With Spry Repeat Regions

Hello everyone,
I've recently started using Spry for a project I've been
asked to work on and I've run in to a few issues since my spec
changed on me today. So any help or advice anyone has is very much
welcome as I'm very much out my comfort zone at the moment.
Original Spec
The idea originally was to have a drop down of roles which
was created from the role tag within a xml file which I was able to
do as you can see below in the attached code. Once the user had
picked a role it would then
ds2.setCurrentRowNumber(this.selectedIndex) and this would trigger
the spry detail region I have to populate the fields I setup to get
out of the xml the role, process and info.
At the time I was told a role would only appear once in the
file but this is now not the case :(
My problem / New Spec
Unfortunately with the xml now having a role more then once
I've been asked to include a dynamic region which will display the
process and info fields from other records which have this role
name. Which is the bit I'm having problems with. I've been playing
with creating a spry:repeat for each field and then using
Spry:if="'{Role}'.search(^/myVar/) != -1; but I've had no luck
getting a value into a variable and I'm lack of experience is
running out of ideas.
Hope I've made sense this is my first time using spry and
JavaScript, so any help is greatly welcome.
Thanks Nick.
Example of the XML file - Please note this is very much a cut
down version.

tried changing the Region HTML table cell attributes to width:75pct, but this has no effect.Unsurprisingly. Use a valid CSS length specification.

I solve this problem today,,..is very vell documented...
When you repeat acordion or tab or other wiget, you need have
in repeat div also constructor of that object..
Try this code...look at last div..
change your include paths.

Spry V.1.6

Limiting Number of Rows in spry:repeat Region

With the code...
<tr spry:repeat="dsTitles">
<td width="60%">{title}</td>
<td width="14%">{author}</td>
<td width="9%">{date}</td>
</tr>
... How do I limit the number of rows that will be displayed
in this repeat region
to just 5, instead of displaying all 25 rows stored in the
XMLDataSet (dsTitles)?
Thanks!
Oscar

Hey Oscar,
Glad that works for you.
Kin and I were thinking that {ds_RowNumber} might be better
for that particular looping, but you get the idea.
http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/articles/data_set_overview/index.html
That was our first overview doc and it was definitive at the
time. We no longer update it but it's a good intro to Spry.
You can find the built in data references in that doc,
granted almost at the very bottom.
The API doc
http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/articles/data_api/index.html
is a good start but we still have a lot to add to it. I have
plans for it for sure.
We are doing a big push for 1.6 towards progressive
enhancement, unobtrusive js and things like that.
Expect docs and samples and some cool utilities to come out
this summer and for 1.6.
And we won't charge for it, but we also won't return any
cash-laden envelopes... ;)
Let us know how to improve any part of Spry.
Thanks,
Don

Passing values to a function from spry:repeat

Is this a viable solution?
<div spry:repeat="dsData">
<script
type="text/javascript">addPin("{ds_RowNumberPlus1}","{site}&q uot;,"{latitude}","{longitude}");</script>
</div>

Yes this did work. Thank you.
For clarification, why add this to a spry:if in a hidden span

spry:repeat. Both seem to work so far, but it seems your solution
may help with error handling???
Thanks,
Victor Corey
I know u could use functions in Spry if, im
using them my self i should show a row based on cookie values ( the
function checks if certain data is in a cookie, and if its there it
shows the row).
I was about to use the same technique for my own project my
self to, so i thought it would be a good way to gather certain
data, based on what u get returned from your own data set.
And if u add a javascript block, each time u repeat it, it
has to be created. its allot smaller size wise to create a little
span (or u can even add it to the repeat self). That was basicly
the reason why i suggested using a spry:if ^_^

Error "failed to retrieve data set (ds1) for spry:repeat" in IE when using filters

Everything works fine in Firefox, but in IE7 I get an error
message saying "Failed to retrieve data set (ds1) for spry:repeat."
It seems to be my filter set that's causing this. Once I commented
out the chunk of code that handles filtering, the page finally
loaded. How can I get it to work in IE?
Here's the page:
http://a44.awardspace.com/testing/mbc/portfolio/

This usually means the dataset (ds4) can not be found / is not created.
So double check that you have created the dataset.
If this is the case.. please provide us with a online url.

Limiting Items Displayed in Spry Repeat Lists, Tables, Etc.

Is it possible to limit the items shown in Spry repeat
region? For example say I have 20 items in a list and only want to
display the first three items, not the entire list. If so how is
that done?

Hey Oscar,
Glad that works for you.

Spry:repeat Help

Help. I am new to Spry (although been doing JS for years) and
am attempting to get a handle on it. Here is my issue. I am
attempting a simple spry:repeat and all I am getting is my last
node.
Here is the XML chunk:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<newHire>
<quickStart>
<quickLink linkUrl="#">Accessing Activant systems and
launching the VPN</quickLink>
<quickLink linkUrl="#">Navigating the Employee
Intranet</quickLink>
<quickLink linkUrl="#">Using the Employee Training
Portal</quickLink>
<quickLink linkUrl="#">Using CEP</quickLink>

Thoughts?

Hi,
change your xml structure so that each quickLink tag is
wrapped in a quickStart tag, like this:
====================== new xml =================
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<newHire>
<quickStart>
<quickLink linkUrl="#">Accessing Activant systems and
launching the VPN</quickLink>
</quickStart>
<quickStart>
<quickLink linkUrl="#">Navigating the Employee
Intranet</quickLink>
</quickStart>
<quickStart>
<quickLink linkUrl="#">Using the Employee Training
Portal</quickLink>
</quickStart>
<quickStart>
<quickLink linkUrl="#">Using CEP</quickLink>
</quickStart>

Does that mean that Spry accordeons cant be duplicated that
way?

Actually, you can generate the panels dynamically, but there
are a couple of things you have to keep in mind. There is an
expected markup structure for the accordion. The divs that make up
the accordion follow a pattern that looks like this:
Accordion
Accordion Panel
Accordion Panel Label
Accordion Panel Content
Accordion Panel
Accordion Panel Label
Accordion Panel Content
Inserting extra divs between and around some of these
structures will only confuse the Accordion behavior code.
Since you are trying to repeat accordion panels, you want to
put the spryregion attribute on the Accordion itself, and then put
a spryrepeat on the actual div that is the panel.
The next thing to consider, is that anytime Spry regenerates
the markup for a widget, you have to re-attach all of the widget
behaviors to the widget. To accomplish this, we have to place a
listener on the data set. The idea is that every time the data set
notifies listeners that its data has changed, we know the widget
markup will be re-generated, so we have to call the constructor for
the Accordion.
Here's some actual markup that I whipped up that works:
<!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">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;
charset=iso-8859-1" />
<title>Dynamic Accordion</title>
<link href="../../css/accordion.css" rel="stylesheet"
type="text/css" />
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript"
src="../../includes/xpath.js"></script>
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript"
src="../../includes/SpryData.js"></script>
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript"
src="../../includes/SpryEffects.js"></script>
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript"
src="../../includes/SpryAccordion.js"></script>
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
// Step 1: Define the data set:
var dsAirports = new
Spry.Data.XMLDataSet("../../data/airports.xml",
"/airports/airport");
// Step 2: Register a listener on dsAirports so that we can
auto-attach the
// Accordion behaviors.
dsAirports.addDataChangedObserver("accordionObserver", {
onDataChanged: function(ds, dcType) { setTimeout(function() { var
acc = new Spry.Widget.Accordion("Acc1"); }, 0); } });
</script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="Acc1" class="Accordion"
spry:region="dsAirports">
<div class="AccordionPanel" spry:repeat="dsAirports">
<div class="AccordionPanelLabel">
<h3>{code}</h3>
</div>
<div class="AccordionPanelContent">
<div>{name}</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
Note the use of a timer in the listener callback. This is
necessary to force the Accordion call to be triggered *after* the
dynamic region has been re-generated. This won't be necessary once
we implement the dynamic region observers mechanism.

Adding a Counter to Spry Repeat List

Hi, this might seem like a relatively simple problem but after spending some time, I haven't yet arrived at an appropriate solution.
1. I have spry repeat list.
2. I want add a counter (required by a javascript function nested within the repeat list).
I have tried ds2.getCurrentRowID and that failed.
One simple way of thinking of the problem is: how would you modify a spry repeat list to display each row, numbered 1 through n down the left-hand column?
            <tr spry:repeat="ds2" spry:odd="evenRowVenue" spry:even="oddRowVenue" spry:hover="hoverVenue" onClick="MM_callJS('GEvent.trigger(venue_list[INCREMENTING COUNTER HERE],\'click\');')">
              <td align="left"><a href="venue_show.php?vid={@vid}">{@name}</a></td>
              <td align="left">{@street1}</td>
              <td align="left">{@city_suburb}</td>
              <td align="left">{@state}</td>
              <td align="left">{@country}</td>
              <td align="left">{@rating}</td>
            </tr>

            </tr>
{ds_RowNumber} is what you are looking for.
So in you case:
onClick="MM_callJS('GEvent.trigger(venue_list[{ds_RowNumber}],\'click\');')">

Spry:repeat vs. Internet Explore 7.0

Hi,
I've made a very simple example with the Spry Framework -
using the Spry.repeat
The example works fine in Fixefox, but IE 7.0 won't display
the data (no error message)
HTML-file
http://www.mg04.dk/clausreiss/test_xml.html
XML-file
http://www.mg04.dk/clausreiss/data/cafetownsend.xml
What is wrong? -Please help me!
jsnedker

Everything works fine for me "as is" if I run it from my own
http server. You might want to look into the Content-Type your
server is sending for the XML file:
Content-Length 681
Content-Type application/octet-stream
Last-Modified Tue, 08 Jan 2008 19:46:46 GMT
Accept-Ranges bytes
Etag "989c0342f52c81:18c96b"
Server Microsoft-IIS/6.0
X-Powered-By --InsPanel--
http://www.inspanel.com,
ASP.NET
MicrosoftOfficeWebServer 5.0_Pub
Date Tue, 08 Jan 2008 21:15:16 GMT
The content-type should be either "text/xml" or
"application/xml" for XML files.
