Spry tabbed panels: Shows everything when it shouldn't

I have a spry tabbed panel with 2 tabs.
In design view, this correctly shows me the contect of each of the tabs (a different table in each) when I click on the tab.
When I run it in live view or the browser however, it displays both tabs TOGETHER, (i.e both table) and I can't select either of the tabs.
I've attached a screen print.
Any suggestions.

The problem is with the tag name "s_phone".
If iPhone Safari sees a tag name containing "phone", it automatically assumes you need the phone keypad. (Something similar goes for "zip".)
Here's a test case setup someone made:

Spry tabbed panels, all content showing on one page, please help?

Hi there,
I'm developing a website for my friend and i'm using DW CS5 spry tabbed panels. Everything looks great in DW but when i load the page to the server all of the content shows as one page and i can't navigate through tabs.http://dndperspective.co.cc/
I'll give you the whole code, I am fairly experienced in html but have never used spry before, so it may be a silly mistake. Any Suggestions?
Here is the code:

You called it: your links to the SpryAssets are linking to your hard drive, not to the files within the folder on the server.
Correct these links:
<script src="file:///C:/Users/work/Desktop/Sites/SpryAssets/SpryTabbedPanels.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<link href="file:///C:/Users/work/Desktop/Sites/SpryAssets/SpryTabbedPanels.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
And you should be good to go.

Spry Menus on Spry Tabbed Panels?

Hi,
I'm designing a site that has major tabs at the top, each of which takes the visitor to an appropriate section of the site... each with a default section overview page and a horizontal nav menu that's appropriate for that section. (This design is similar to going to a site like AT&T and clicking on top tabs for Home, Small Business or Enterprise. Once you've done so, the menu below then presents links appropriate to the Home, Small Business or Enterprise products.) I've been trying to implement this by putting instances of Spry Menus in Spry Tabbed Panels within the TabbedPanelsContentGroup div. Specifically, I have the MenuBarHorizontal class is each TabbedPanelsContent div/class.
I have the basic layout working, but the wiring is mystifying me. Clicking the various tabs indeed presents the correct corresponding menus. But I also need to figure out how to make clicking a section tab go to the section overview page (which happens to also correspond the first menu item, "Overview", in each section). There's no real <a href> kind of option that's apparent in conjunction with the TabbedPanelTabs in the TabbedPanelsGroup. Is there a way to force a particular page to display when switching tabs? Or am I trying to use the wrong tool for the job and there's a better technical approach to implementing this design?
I've tried David Powers' blog entry re "Opening Specific Tabs and Panels from Another Page" (http://foundationphp.com/tutorials/spry_url_utils.php), but it describes exactly what the title implies.
Thanks!
Jeffrey

Hi, Jeffrey,
I think I'm going to need to diagram this out!
Let's see...when you say "major tabs at the top" are you referring to a separate MenuBar or are you speaking of Spry Tabbed Panels?
You of course realize that if you are speaking of Spry Tabbed Panels, that EVERYTHING on the panels is on one page. If that is your main organization, yeah, it's a little hairy.
Now, if you have a "normal" one-level set of nav buttons that each takes you to a page that contains a set of Tabbed Panels for that "department," that will get you where you need to be without quite as much mind-blowing follow-the-wire through the wall hijinks, if you know what I mean.
Here is a site that I put together using Spry Tabbed Panels: http://www25.uua.org/uuhs/index.html Although the top "tabs" nav looks like Tabbed Panels tabs, the Tabbed Panels don't start until you get inside the site, and there I use Vertical tabs (on the left side) and on the Panels have put lots of Spry Accordions.
By using this technique, you have an effective "landing page" on each "department" linked to with the top navigation buttons.
Best of luck, and watch out for short-circuits!

Problem with Spry Tabbed Panels and Mac Safari

On a site I'm working on I have implemented Spry Tabbed
Panels. Everything was great until my boss looked at it on his Mac
Safari. Spry doesn't seem to honor the 100% width, and cuts it off.
I have looked at the CSS and don't see what is holding it up.
Here is
a link to a screenshot.
The CSS that defines the width is attached.
Can anyone help? Thanks!

Wow, so I am the only one that has ever used Spry that
doesn't work in Safari? I find that hard to believe.
So let me twist this another way. Does anyone know why a div
does not stretch 100% of it's parent in Safari?

Spry tabbed panels not selectable and displaying everything

I've tried creating a brand new page with a new tabbed panel and still get the same result.
Any suggestions.

Here you go,
This is just a template with a few headers and nothing much else, plus the blank tabbed panel, I did this just to test out the panel.

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?

How to use H1, h3, h4 etc when using Spry Tabbed Panels?

Hi folks,
I am using Spry Tabbed Panels 2 on my site as it's the only way I know to direct visitors to particular tabs with links.
Unfortunately I can't use any of my header tags because H2 is dedicated to the Spry tabs, and for some reason has also taken "ownership" o all H tags.
Is there another way to mark my headings accordingly without having them turn into tabs?
My site is at www.qtnz.co.nz/activities
Thanks in advance for advice,
Jo

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!!

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 funny in Firefox

Hello, I am using the Spry tabbed panels in Dreamweaver CS4 and when I render in firefox there is a large amount of space at the bottom as if the tabbed panels are allowing space for each subsequent tab - even though the text is in the next tab.
http://www.patternsoftheweb.net/1.htm
The page link above shows the problem. How do I get rid of the extra space?
Thank you for your help!

I think your are referring to the css attribute: outline:none;
Added outline:none; to the css rule and it should be gone.

Spry Tabbed Panels - Contribute Error Message

I created a Web site using Dreamweaver CS4 that uses a Spry Tabbed Panels. It works fine, but so far it fails when it is pulled into Contribute CS5. I've read the posts about allowing Spry Widget editing in Contribute, so I've turned on that capability.
When I try to launch the Spry Widget Properties from within Contribute, I get this error:
"This tabbed panel is missing its content. Contact your administrator to add the missing content panel, or delete this panel and insert a new one."
I've tried creating new generic pages with new Spry tabbed panels, but they always fail with this message.
Here is a sample page:
http://www.dougriderconsulting.com/zmcpa/incentives.html
Any ideas? Thanks!

The page http://www.dougriderconsulting.com/zmcpa/incentives.html mentioned here has no issues.
If there are any missing codes DW also shows the error as <missing content panel> or <missing tab> when the Tabbed Panel widget is selected.
In Contribute the same pops up as a message.
The issue in page http://www.dougriderconsulting.com/zmcpa/education_in_muskingum_county.html posted in Contribute Blogs is re-solved http://blogs.adobe.com/contribute/2010/06/spry_widget_rendering.html#more-33.

Multi page recordset output from ASP page on Spry Tabbed Panel Widget

I am using a simple Spry Tabbed panel set on my asp page to show the output from different ASP pages, inside the tabbed panels. The tabbed panels on the page under consideration (destination page) display the output from different asp pages (source pages). The source asp pages generate multi page outputs which are paginated on the source page itself and pagination links are displayed on the source page itself.
However, we dont want to display the source page outside of the tabbed panel, but instead the output content from the source asp pages should show inside the tabbeed panels only. The first page generated by the source asp page displays correctly inside the tabbed panel. However, when the user clicks on the links for the next page generated by the source asp page, but which is being displayed inside the destination page tabbed panel, they dont display the next page inside the tabbed panel. Instead the source asp page displays the output outside the tabbed panel destination page.
Please advise on how to ensure that the user can page through the recordset generated by the source asp page by clicking on the pagination links at the bottom of the records, while ensuring that the output displays within the tabbed panels on the destination asp page.
I am enclosing the source code being used to generate the spry tabbed panel widget and also updating it with the output from the source asp page. In this case, the code given below is from the main page containing the widget and the source asp page is "sample.asp", which generates multi page output.
Please note that I am not too keen on using xml data sets output from the source asp page, but would be more comfortable with directly using the asp pages to fill the tabbed panel content.
Please help

I fully agree that the problem does not lie with tthe tabbed panels.
The solution would probably be first required to be tried using ajax on any div tab.
Then the same code would have to be used on Sprytabbed panel. Hence, the following may be advised:
1. Sample code for server side pagination and displaying inside any div tag and refreshing it using ajax. the update link would also lie inside the div tag which would show the next/ previous page without reloading the page.
2. Then adapting the refresh technique using ajax in the Spry Tabbed panel using the inbuilt updatecontent method of the Spry Tabbed panels.
In order to achieve the above, I am getting the recordset output in the tab content as expected. The recordset is also getting the pagination links from server side asp as required.
However, it is also generating the following error.
Webpage error details

Datasets in Spry Tabbed Panels

Hey guys,
I have a spry tabbed panel in which the contents are iframes that load a spry xml dataset. The problem I am encountering is that while the "default tab" spry loads...when toggling the other tab I get the errors
Failed to retrieve data set (pagingInfoDs) for spry:repeat
FF Firebug shows me
uncaught exception: [Exception... "Component returned failure code: 0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE) [nsIDOMScreen.width]" nsresult: "0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE)" location: "JS frame :: http://192.168.0.1:93/vadmin/includes/cms.js :: BrowserInfo :: line 51" data: no]among other things...
Now I'm developing on localhost so I'm not able to show an example...the thing is if I were to change the default tab (from 0 to 1) the default tab now will work whislt the other would trigger the error. This means that some thing with the tab NOT being "open" or "shown" is affecting the dataset. I find this wierd as the datasets are loading within iframes...
Any idea as to what can be causing this reaction in the tabs?

well the code to the spry tabbed panel
<div class="contentList">

If I were to switch iframe sources the one thats in the "default" tab will list while the the tab that isn't will error
This was the first error

Set Default Spry Tabbed Panel As Close Until Mouse Over

Dear All,
Is there a way to set the default spry tabbed panel to be closed when the page load untilI mouse over it??

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.
