SPRY Tabbed Panels on focus/URL

Can you land on a page and control which tab has focus? If I want to link to content on a tab, or cross-reference between two tabs, how could you construct a url...
Thanks,
Shearak

You can also use Spry for this. Have a look here http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/samples/utils/URLUtilsSample.html
There are a lot of discussions on this topic within this forum. Use the 'search forum' feature to obtain more info.
And have a look here http://foundationphp.com/tutorials/spry_url_utils.php
I hope this helps.

Spry tabbed panels java script error screwing up whole page when I reopen document in dreamweaver

I need help!
I am creating a site in dreamweaver and I am using spry tabbed panels for my content on every page. I've created 4 pages. When I go to reopen the pages after quitting dreamweaver 2 open and work just fine. However, for the other two I receive a window that says,
this document contains javascript code for a widget that no longer exists. If you don't remove the code, the browser may display javascript errors when loading the page. Would you like dreamweaver to find all instances of this code for you.
I've selected both yes and no options and either way my entire page becomes all jumbled. I've tried deleting the script in code view and it doesn't help?

Spry Tabbed Panel Defaults to home page with recordset paging

I have Spry ver. 1.6.1. A Spry Tabbed Panel titled "Check Ride Activity Report" (Tab 6) accesses a mysql database and shows the records in a table format. Instead of having all the records display at once I want to limit the records displayed to a few at a time. e.g. 5 per page. I added a recordset navigation bar and set the $maxRows_GetChkRideRecs = 5; It works but each time the navigation bar "Next" or "Last" or "First" or "Previous" is clicked the page reloads with the default Home page Tab displayed. The user then has to click on Tab 6 to view the new results. The url where this can be viewed is at http://Training.reliantair.com. Is there a way to code this tab so that Tab 6 remains the default tab once it is selected until the user selects another tab?
I want to avoid putting another button on the page to accomplish this as shown in the spry utils samples where the user clicks to set the default tab.
Can this be done within the recordset paging code similar to how it is done on a form submit to keep the focus on the current tab?

I didn't try the cookie method suggested. The tab method listed in spry utils does work but requires an additional button, so I came up with this solution.
In the Head of the HTML document I put this code. It searches for the query string in the HREF when any of the record paging buttons is pressed.
<script type="text/javascript" src="SpryURLUtils.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
var params = Spry.Utils.getLocationParamsAsObject();
if (location.href.indexOf("GetChkRideRecs") != -1 && location.href.indexOf("tab") == -1)
location.href +="&tab=5#TabbedPanels1";
</script>
Then in the body of the HTML document at the bottom of the page the tabbed panel widget is changed like this:
var TabbedPanels1 = new Spry.Widget.TabbedPanels("TabbedPanels1",{defaultTab: (params.tab ? params.tab:0)});
The first time a recordset paging link is clicked the HREF attribute of &tab=5#TabbedPanels1 is added to the location HREF. Subsequent clicks of any of the links do not change the HREF because the code looks for "tab" and does nothing if it is found.

Spry tabbed panels as menu system

Hi,
This is actually for Dreamweaver CS6.    What I'm trying to do is use spry tabbed panels as horizontal my menu system.    I want to have basically the functionality of the adobe.com menu system where the drop downs are tabbed and the content box size varies depending on the tab and the content box moves it's position relative to the tab that's selected.     I did manage to get the mouseover working so the tab's change according to which tab the mouse passes over.
My current problems are these:
I managed to change the content panel box size so it's not the same width as the full panel tab group however I cannot get it to move relative to which tab is selected, it just stays fixed in one location.
The content tabs are pushing the body of my page down instead of showing up over top of it which is obvioulsy not very condusive for a menu system.
I would like the default to show none of the panels until someone mouseover's one of the tab's and for the panels to dissapear when the mouse is not in the menu system.
For something similar to the adobe.com menu system am i using the right feature (it looks like tabbed panels to me) or should I be using a different spry feature, I would like to have text and an image in the content box under each tab just for overall effect.
I'm quite inexperienced with CSS and Javascripting and have basically gotten this far with trial and error modifying the CSS settings but I'm unable to modify the javascript on my own.
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!
Below is my tabbed panels css:

Note - I agree with Nancy
As for your experiment, to prevent the "drop" reduce the spry CSS padding in line 76 selector from 21px to 18px.
.TabbedPanelsTab {
    -moz-user-select: none;
    background-color: #000000;
    border-color: #000000;
    border-left: 0 solid #000000;
    border-style: solid;
    border-width: 2px 0 0;
    cursor: pointer;
    float: left;
    font-family: "Myriad Pro";
    font-size: 1em;
    font-weight: normal;
    height: 15px;
    list-style: none outside none;
    margin: 0;
    padding: 4px 18px;
    position: relative;
    top: 0;
Don't use dummy text without normal length text with breaks

Spry tabbed panels - Different Hover Class for each tab

Already posted this in the general Dreamweaver section, but just realized there was a specific Spry section. So, my apologies for the repost.
I'm setting up spry tabbed panels, and I'm wanting to use an image for each tab, with the text already on it. I've figured this much out by creating a different class for each in the spry tabbed panel css.
However, I'd also like to have a second hover image for each tab. I'm having trouble figuring out how to set up separate classes for each tab's hover state.
Any help?
Thanks.

Just in case you did not notice the announce at the top of this forum's main page, I have copied it here.
Announcement: New to Spry, or the Spry forums?
Hide Details
Before you post a topic please verify that:
You are using the latest Spry files
The latest version of the Adobe Spry Framework is 1.6.1, this is the same version that ships with Dreamweaver CS4. If you use Dreamweaver CS3 (uses Spry 1.4), its wise to upgrade your files to the latest version. This can easily be done using the Spry Updater that can be found here.
Your question was not asked before
Using the search functionality on forums you can easily find out if your question has been answered before. While you are in search, you can specify the search locations. The Spry forum can be found under:
Adobe Labs > Spry Framework for Ajax
Yoru question can not be found in the existing documentation
Spry provides you with allot of documentation this can found on different locations. In the sidebar of this forum you can find a small summary of resources that will help you on your way.
If these options do not apply to your question, please be so kind to also supply the following information in your topic together with a clear description of your issue:
What browsers does this issue occure:
example: Internet Explorer 8 on Window 7 and Firefox 3.0 on Mac OSX
What version of Spry are using:
example: Spry 1.6.1 ( the version number can be found in license header of the .css and .js files )
What is the url of your website or page in issue:
example: http://www.example.com/page/in/issue.html
Step to reproduce the issue:
example: Scroll down till you find the header "help", there you will see a Spry Accordion. When you click on it it will not open or close.
So users can provide you with a better answer, without having to ask you for further details.

Images in Spry Tabbed Panels Tabs

I am completely new to the Spry options in Dreamweaver and
need help customizing the Tabs in the Spry Tabbed Panel.
I would like to substitute the text in each tab for a
different image in each tab, and have each image change by using
behaviors, depending on the user actions (hover, select, etc.).
If you can provide samples of this, it will truly be
appreciated. Thanks

First add an ID to the tab as follows or similar
<h2 id="second">Tab 2</h2>
Then add a style rule to add a background image as follows or similar
.TabbedPanelsTab#second {
background:url(myImage.gif);

Firefox - Spry tabbed panel issue

Hi, need a little trouble shooting help here.
This works fine in ie7 but not Firefox 2 or 3. The Spry
Tabbed Panel just looks like an ordinary unordered list but it's
still clickable.
I've placed the script in the header and the css is imported
in the main style sheet.
The live site is here:
www.precisionhomesanddesign.com
Thanks to all who take a moment to look into this.

Cory,
I copied and pasted your code into a new document locally and
then attached the JavaScript and CSS files for the Tabbed panels
and it styled and worked correctly for me. I then noticed that your
live page you have the Spry CSS files imported into your mainStyler
using the following syntax:
@import url ("../includes/SpryTabbedPanels.css");
I tried similar syntax using Dreamweaver to link in the css
file into an attached CSS file and it created code like this:
@import url("../SpryAssets/SpryTabbedPanels.css");
and it then began to work. It took a while, but it finally
struck me that there is a space between url and ( in your code and
none in the code I had created. So I added a space to my code and
then the styling broke, removed it and the styling came back. So
try removing the space (probably for all 3 @imported files) and see
how that works out for you.

Google Analytics on Spry Tabbed Panels

I have created a website where I am using a few main html pages and have vertical Spry Tabbed panels for sections of information within most of the pages. I wish to track the clicks on the vertical Tabbed panels, but I am not having much luck implementing it. I could probably figure it out if I saw an example somewhere. I have also implemented a "back button" feature (thanks to Arnout Kazemier!) and clicking to go directly to a tab on a page using the SpryUtils into the default tab option for Spry Tabbed Panels. The Google Analytics web pages have information on gadget tracking, and one on tracking AJAX, and one on using the newer asynchronous tracking (which is supposed to be better for Ajax, etc).   I have tried to implement asynchronous tracking along with the "Tracking AJAX" recommendation by Google with no information being posted in a couple of days.
My website page where I have tried to implement it is here:
http://www.phostech.com/opt_con_v2.html
I have also seen examples where a counter is used just to count, but I would like the information on which pages were clicked.
I would rather not do this using the event tracking (but if that's the only way I'm OK), partly because the event tracking would be separate from the page tracking and the other features woudn't be as useful (exit page, sorting based on content, etc.).
I am not a great programmer, but I could probably manage it I saw an example close enough to what I need.
If anyone has any ideas, solutions, implemented examples that could help me, I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks!

I have checked out your page using Firefox, firebug net panel that monitors requests from and to your page. And i do see a successful call to the google servers. But I also noticed a JavaScript error on your page caused by these lines of code:
http_request.onreadystatechange = sendAlert;
       http_request.open('GET', url, true);
       http_request.send(null);
You might want to remove those.

Spry Tabbed Panel Problem

Thanks in advance to anyone who can help. I'm having a problem with my spry tabbed panel. It works but the actual CSS isn't working on the spry. The panel goes down onto the content.

Hi Ben,
I creat a new page ( a simple page...):
http://dev.achab.it/test/test.htm
Our web-graphics are insert into
<script type="text/javascript" src="../common/js_func/parameters.js"></script>
the SpryTabbedPanels.js scripts.
On the new simple, you can click to 4 Tabs on the left.
If you want to see the 5 or 6 content tab you can click the label into the 3 or 5 content tab.
When you click on the label "here" on the 3° Tab (for example), you can see the content change and the "Tab 3" is not selected.
I'd like to change the content and leave the "Tab 3" selected.
I hope in your help :-)
thank in advance
regards
Stefano

Spry Tabbed Panel - Dotted outline around selected tab

Hello there,
I noticed in Spry Tabbed Panels, once a tab is selected,
there is a dotted outline around the selected tab (the 'focus').
How do I hide it? I've seen a similar set up using JQuery which has
the dotted outline automatically disappear after a tab is selected.
I've set up a demo at my personal website to illustrate what I'm
getting at.
http://www.sgdanielwang.com/spry/tabbed.htm
Could someone spare a bit of time to have a look and advise
me?
Thanks in advance.
Dan

Thanks, Arnout.
Your solution got rid of the dotted focus outline. However
the problem persists in Internet Explorer. I read at the following
site:
http://codylindley.com/Javascript/223/hiding-the-browsers-focus-borders-should-i-shouldnt- i
that the focus can be hidden using a javascript which looks
for all <a> element in the HTML file and disables the focus.
But in the case of the Spry Tabbed Panel, the <a> is actually
specified in CSS. Is there a CSS 'hack' to make the focus disappear
in Internet Explorer?
Rgds,
Dan

Spry Tabbed Panels - 2 lines of tabs

I have a "Spry Tabbed Panels" widget on one of my site's
pages and it works great. Except there are now more tabs than will
fit side-by-side, so the last one gets moved to a new line, below
the first 4. That's not that big a deal, except there's now a large
blank space underneath and to the right of the top-row tabs.
Is there any way to edit the CSS or page's codes (like adding
an extra DIV surrounding the widget) so the now empty space gets a
background color matching inactive tabs?
To replicate this: create a fixed-width tabbed panels widget
and simply add more tabs than there will fit in the widget's width.
Any help on this matter would be appreciated.
Edit: I've made a slight change to the CSS file so the tabs
now have a fixed width, filling up 1/3rd of the widget's width
each. I'd like to have the empty space look better, but this'll do
for now.

First add an ID to the tab as follows or similar
<h2 id="second">Tab 2</h2>
Then add a style rule to add a background image as follows or similar
.TabbedPanelsTab#second {
background:url(myImage.gif);
Gramps

Spry Tabbed Panels set to use the Opacity fade out / in

can the Spry Tabbed Panels be set to use the Opacity fade out / in similar to the Spry Image SlideShow effects?

First add an ID to the tab as follows or similar
<h2 id="second">Tab 2</h2>
Then add a style rule to add a background image as follows or similar
.TabbedPanelsTab#second {
background:url(myImage.gif);

Linking to specific spry tabbed panel - code not working

Hi,
I have followed the tutorial at
http://foundationphp.com/tutorials/spry_url_utils.php
with regard to being able to link to a specific tab. For some
reason though, my code doesn't work. I am usign Dreamweaver cs3,
and as soon as I head back to the design view, or preview it in a
browser for that matter, all I see is each tab one above the other,
and the tabs no longer work.
My code is as follows:

<script type="text/javascript"
src="SpryAssets/SpryURLUtils.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript"> var params =
Spry.Utils.getLocationParamsAsObject(); </script>
is in the head, and the body for the tabbed panels is:

The link I would then use to link to tab 2 say, would be:
../"pagename".php?tab=2#TabbedPanels2
Also, when I then go to click on the Spry tabbed panels
region in design view, I get an error message saying:
while executing inspectSelection in spry_tabbedpanels.htm, a
javascript error occurred.
I am pretty inexperienced with Spry and Java so I may have
missed something simple.
A solution would be much appreciated as this is driving me
mad!
Please let me know if you need me to post more code.
Thanks in advance.
p.s. I am using Dreamweaver CS3 and the SpryURLUtils.js
script is from the Spry 1.6.1 prerelease framework.

type="text/javascript"></script>
since the spry files are all in the same folder. Is this what
you meant?
Having just installed firebug, I get the error params is not
defined. So I guess that this all together means that the
SpryURLUtils.js file is not being called correctly?
p.s. Thanks for the speedy replies, much appreciated.
Yes it means it cant find the file SpryURLUtils.js.
in firebug theres a tab called scripts, if u click on it, u
can see wich scripts are loaded. i suggest u check that out. Or
post a online URL so we can see the problem for our selfs..
