SPRY tabs content loading

I am using SPRY tabs to display static content. I have 4
tabs. When the page loads the content on all 4 tabs shows up one
below the other.
Could anybody suggest how I can stop that. The content for
first tab should only show up on page load.
Other tab content should load when that tab is
clicked.

My tabs work but the problem I have is that the content of
all tabs loads when the page loads making it extremely slow.
I've got galleries in the tabs, tab1 2008 tab 2 2007 tab 3
2006 and photos in each gallery all load together.
On another site I did I managed to get it to load the images
in the tab when the user clicks on the tab speeding up initial load
times for the page but I can't remember how I did it, it was
accidental!!!

We are using Contribute CS4 for editing spry tabs content, But after study I have figured that we can't edit
sprytabs using Contribue CS4
Is there any way in contribute that we can edit Spry tab content in contribue CS4
Thanks in advance!

Spry widget editing is allowed from Adobe Contribute CS5 version only. Please refer to http://blogs.adobe.com/contribute/2010/06/spry_widget_rendering.html

PHP Form in Spry Tabbed Content Div

I have placed some PHP forms inside some Spry Tabbed Content
divs. When the forms are submitted, the page reloads with the
default tabbed content displayed instead of the tab where the form
is. If I click to the tab with the form, I can see the information
PHP properly returned.
Does anybody know how to make the Spry Tabbed Content script
return to the tab that had focus when a PHP form is submitted
instead of the default tab?
Thanks in advance for any advice.

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.

Issue using spry regions in spry tabbed content

I am having a slight issue with making a slideshow in a spry tabbed panel set. I have tested my XML used for the slideshow in a basic blank page, where I created the spry source and detail regions, and it loads fine. When you click on the thumbnail, the detail region loads the image. But when I place the slideshow in my websites page, it is inside a spry tabbed panel set. Where it just doesn't seem to want to work.
Has anyone had this issue?
I posted a copy of the page at the link below. The slideshow is under the portfolio tab

How to Display Repeat List In Spry Tab Content

Hello,
I am new to Spry. I thought I could just create an XML
dataset, Insert a Spry Tabbed Panel, and then insert a Spry repeat
list inside the Tabbed Content area of the Tabbed Panel. It is not
working at all for me. Is this doable at all? If so, how?
Thanks!

Change text "link" color only in Spry Tab content area

I need to have multiple text link colors in my site for light
and dark background colors. The only regions in my site that have a
white background are in the Spry Tab Panel content area. I can't
figure out how to change the text color for text links in the spry
content only. I tried to add a:link ..etc... to the style sheet,
but it did not effect anything
(I also need to clean my style sheet (s). But that comes
next.

Links to spry tab content

Within one html file divided into Spry-tabs, I set a named
anchor in tab-content <div> of one tab and try to link to it
from within a different tab-content division of the same page.
Doesn't work - just sends me to bottom of division in the which
link is located. Surely this is doable -- Am I missing some simple
point?

You have to know which tab the anchor is within and then you
can show a specific tab. Check out the code on this page:

Spry Tabbed panels content loading

Hello,
I have created a tabbed interface, it looks good, however the
content in some tabs it is a little heavy on some internet
connections.
Is there a way to load the content of each tab separately?
What i wanted to do is for each tab content to load only if
the user clicks on the tab, this way the start page will load much
faster. With the current settings all the content on all tabs loads
at the same time. Did not find anything on sprytabbedpanels.css
that could do this.
Can anyone help me?
Thanks in advance.
Joao.

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?

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 tabs loading data onClick

We want to use the Spry tabs, but we have tons of data that
will be on each tab. We do not want to have to load all that data
when the tab structure loads when they possibly won’t be
clicking on every tab. What is the best way to do this where the
data in the tab is retrieved and loaded ONLY when they click the
tab?

Hi ehaemmerle,
We currently don't have any facilities built-into the
TabbedPanels widget to aid in delayed panel content loading, but
you could do something like this:
<script>
var gPanelURLS = [
"foo.php?panelID=0",
"foo.php?panelID=1",
"foo.php?panelID=2",
function LoadPanelContent(ele)
var i = TabbedPanels1.getTabIndex(ele);
var url = gPanelURLS [ i ];
var tabContentPanelEle = TabbedPanels1.getContentPanels()[ i
if (url && tabContentPanelEle)
Spry.Utils.updateContent(tabContentPanelEle, url);
</script>
<div id="TabbedPanels1" class="TabbedPanels">
<ul class="TabbedPanelsTabGroup">
<li class="TabbedPanelsTab"
onclick="LoadPanelContent(this);">Tab1</li>
<li class="TabbedPanelsTab"
onclick="LoadPanelContent(this);">Tab2</li>
</ul>
<div class="TabbedPanelsContentGroup">
<div class="TabbedPanelsContent"></div>
<div class="TabbedPanelsContent"></div>
</div>
</div>
Of course, you'll have to either force the default tab to
load when the page is loaded, or embed your default tab content in
your page.

Hiding spry tabs until page loads

Greetings, I am a professional beginner
in spry and need to know if you can hide the content
panels in spry tabs while the page loads (like you can hide the XML
schema while a spry list loads). I have a page with four tabs that
takes roughly 5-8 seconds to load all of the content panels. While
it loads, the page shows all the tabs' panels stacked, then redraws
with only the default tab showing as it should. This looks odd to
the users and makes the page 4x longer until it finishes loading...
...Any ideas?
Thanks!

If hiding the tab content isn't a function for the tabbed
panel, is it possible to retrieve HTML code fragments from within
the same document as the panels? AdobeLabs has an example using
updateContent to load the panel content when the tab is clicked,
but it references an external HTML page...

Having trouble with dreamweaver cs 6 spry tabbed panels, all content in each tab showes through like

Having trouble with dreamweaver cs 6 spry tabbed panels, all content in each tab showes through like it was all created on one page, plus mouse over doesnt work on them.
This started all of a sudden.
The entire website is a series of spry tabbed panels.
http://pacificlaser.com/const.html
if you click on General construction tab things work ok...
if you click on Machine control tab, mouse over doesnt work and all page content of each tab show through.
ive been looking for the answer for 4 months with no success.
Hope a fellow dreamwever-person can help
Thanks Rick

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.
Beth
ps. If you run into more difficulties with the Spry Widgets, take your questions to the Dreamweaver Spry Forum http://forums.adobe.com/community/labs/spry, where they will get quicker attention.

Spry Tabbed Panels: Title Tabs shift left, Content Tabs stay positioned correctly, right.

I inserted a clean Spry Tabbed Panel into a virtually empty HTML page (no content). I have a content div (624 px , float left) and sidebar (336 px, float right). When I insert the tabbed panel widget into the sidebar, the Spry Title Tabs go or float to te left, while the content portion of the Spry Tabbed panel stays correctly positioned within the sidebar on the right. I looked at the Spry CSS notes, and mentions something of by default they float the tabs left to allow for future divs without problems?? This problem only shows in Design View (leading me to think I've done something wrong). When viewed in Live View or Browser it looks fine, perfect! I have tried several float and clear combinations, none ave helped. I also deleted the Spry Tabbed CSS as to reset to default. Any Help or Advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

Design View is not an accurate representation. Don't rely on it. Use Live View and Preview in Browsers.
Incidentally, the Spry framework is gone from DW now. Most people have moved away from Spry to jQuery or commercial widgets.

Dividing Spry Tabbed Panels content area into columns?

Hi there.
I am building a website and I want to divide the content area of a Spry Tabbed Panel into 3 columns for text.
How can I do this?
I thought about making divs inside the Panel but it would be too messy.
Please let me know if there is a simple way to do this.
Thanks in advance.

Spry Tabs displaying all content in IE8

Hi,
I have been looking at using the spry tabs panel to display content, it works perfectly fine in Safari and Firefox, but in explorer 8 all the panels display one underneath the other?
I have played around with the layout and am probably out of my depth...
If anyone knows a way I can fix this, otherwise I will use a simpler display.
Thanks

You are probably getting a javascript error in IE8 preventing the tabs displaying properly. Use the developer tools unde F12 to find the problem line in your code. Sometimes it is just a cariable name you have used that IE does not like....
