Tabbed Panel with Fade Effect

Open my site, dg-ad.com, and the tabbed panel drop down menu has the first level visible. Click on a menu item and the second level becomes visible. The second level has a Spry fade effect so it fades into view nicely. The class .TabbedPanelContent sets the visibilty of the second layer hidden, and there is no distracting flicker, good so far.
Besides clicking on menu item I often send clients a link with a string query which lands them on my site with the tabbed panel open to what I want them to see initially., I use a string query in the URL per Dave Powers technique often refered to in this forum titled'Spry: Opening Specific Tabs and Panels from Another Page".
Because the visibility is set to hidden in the CSS the second level of the tabbed panel is still invisible, So I am looking for suggestions that may involve scripting the style or playing with the CSS to overide the CSS and make the second level visible when users arrive via the query string method.
Thanks for taking a look!

For Spry 1.0 widgets, each widget had one core file. Each of them had common things like addClassName(), removeClassname(), along with a bunch of basic functionality. So that adds up to a lot of redundant code.
This way, all that common stuff is kept in a single file. That means that each widget base class just has what it needs to glue everything together.
Many widgets are 'panel' based: accordions, tabbed panels, slideshows. So handling those panels is done via the PanelSet and PanelSelector files.
You will find SpryTabbedPanels2.js much smaller than the first version.
By components, for instance: SpryFadingPanels.js is only needed if you want to fade between panels. If you don't want that effect, you don't need to use it. WIth components and plugins, you or anyone else can write a different transition and make that available to all your Spry UI widgets.
I don't like all the includes either but it's the right way to go with what we are doing.
Thanks,
Don

Using Srpy tabbed panels with slidding panels

I am very new to spry and so I am still just figuring it all
out. How I found it was I wanted a tabbed panel like the one on the
IBM website. Anyway, I am trying to
use the tabbed panels with the sliding panels and it just does not
seem to be working. I found
this
tutorial and followed the codes but it still only works as just the
tabbed panels - nothing has changed at all. Can someone tell me
what I might be doing wrong? I am attaching both my html and css
code for you to inspect.

Also - is there a way to get rounded corners on the tabs in

Thanks so much

Firefox is hanging when the page scrolls down to a html5 video or the page to a slideshow with fade effect

Every time a page has a html5 video or a slideshow with fade effect Firefox 3.6 becomes terriblely slow. It freezes with this test: http://demos.hacks.mozilla.org/openweb/HWACCEL/
I have Fedora 14 and before that Fedora 13 and the problem happens with both.
The same doesn't happen on Opera or Google Chrome.
'''UPDATE 1''': I have already tryed the Safe Mode and the problem happens the same.
'''UPDATE 2:''' This page full of videos scroll smothly without any problemas: http://brettgaylor.tumblr.com/tagged/webmademovies

I forgot to say that I did tryed the Safe Mode just to see if the slow was not being caused by some extension or plugin. However the result was all the same. By the way, the slow happens even if there is only one page opened. I am not thinking it is something related to the ATI video card or even Fedora because the same slow does't happen in Chrome and Opera...

Tabbed panel with adjustable/variable height based on content

Is there anyway that you can create a tabbed panel with adjustable/variable height based on content in each tab?

Abhishek,
Thanks for your reply, however, it is not working with Muse. I added the Javascript to the head section and adjusted iframe and it displays as a small square in the upper left hand corner, unable to view the whole page.
Inserted into head section --
<script type="text/javascript">
function resizeIframe(obj)
obj.style.height = 0;
obj.style.height = obj.contentWindow.document.body.scrollHeight + 'px';
</script>
inserted as an html object --
<iframe name="MycoSmooth" src="http://www.mycosmooth.com" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" id="iframe" onload='javascript:resizeIframe(this);' />
Below is the result:
The purpose is to have an independent website run the blogging capabilities, since muse doesn't directly support blogging as of yet.
Since the site is on a different domain, I am running into cross domain issues and it won't get the height of the page. The methods that apparently work use php and I am unsure how that would work in muse, if at all.

Flexible Tabbed Panels with CSS Selector

Just thought I'd share a tip about making Tabbed Panels more
flexible with the CSS Selector.
In working on the
menu
page for
a new
restaurant, I needed Tabbed Panels with the same custom scroll
bar I used on the rest of the site. I'd chosen the
fleXcroll kit because it is so
flexible, unobtrusive, and cross-browser compatible (if poorly
documented). Once you figure out how fleXcroll wants you to give it
the elements of your scroll bar, activating it is as easy as adding
the "fleXcroll" class to the div you want scrolled. This was the
same div which wraps my Tabbed Panels
(div.TabbedPanelsContentGroup).
No problem, I thought, as fleXcroll makes a big deal about
how it "can cope with dynamic updates such as dynamic content
injected via AJAX." The problem, though, is that that Tabbed Panels
can't cope with the wrappers fleXcroll injects inside the panel
container, as Tabbed Panels depends on a clean and fixed hierarchy
to identify panels as direct descendants of that container. Tabbed
Panels thought the fleXcroll wrappers were panels, and things just
didn't work.
Luckily, the CSS Selector provides a much easier method of
finding panels and tabs than traversing a fixed hierarchy. Instead
of identifying tabs as children of .TabbedPanelsTabGroup (which is
identified as the first child of the div you give to Tabbed Panel's
constructor) and panels as children of .TabbedPanelsContentGroup,
you simply identify tabs as Spry.$$(".TabbedPanelsTab") and panels
as Spry.$$(".TabbedPanelsContent")!
In SpryTabbedPanels.js, tabs and panels are collected with
getTabs() and getPanels():
var tabs = this.getTabs();
var panels = this.getContentPanels();
To escape the hierarchical bounds of Tabbed Panels, you just
have to change:
Spry.Widget.TabbedPanels.prototype.getTabs = function()
var tabs = [];
var tg = this.getTabGroup();
if (tg)
tabs = this.getElementChildren(tg);
return tabs;
to:
Spry.Widget.TabbedPanels.prototype.getTabs = function()
var tabs = [];
tabs = Spry.$$(".TabbedPanelsTab"); // or your selector of
choice
return tabs;
and:
Spry.Widget.TabbedPanels.prototype.getContentPanels =
function()
var panels = [];
var pg = this.getContentPanelGroup();
if (pg)
panels = this.getElementChildren(pg);
return panels;
to:
Spry.Widget.TabbedPanels.prototype.getContentPanels =
function()
var panels = [];
panels = Spry.$$(".TabbedPanelsContent"); // or your
selector of choice
return panels;
This still assumes that everything happens within the element
you give to the constructor, but that's okay by me for now.
Hope this helps someone else!

The TabbedPanels code:
<div id="mainmenu" spry:region="menuCom menuCat">
     <div id="TP1" class="TabbedPanels">
          <ul class="TabbedPanelsTabGroup">
               <li spry:repeat="menuCat" class="TabbedPanelsTab" tabindex="0">{menuCat::category}</li>
          </ul>
          <div class="TabbedPanelsContentGroup">
               <div spry:repeat="menuCom" spry:test="'{menuCom::category}' == '{menuCat::category}'" class="TabbedPanelsContent">{menuCom::subcategory} - {menuCom::description}</div>
            </div>
            </div>
           </div>
           </div>

Loading Tabbed Panels with the updateContent Util function

Hey,
Just wanted to see if anyone has had any issues while running
ThickBox Javascript and the updateContent function at the same
time.
On my site only 1 or the other will work... very confusing,
as my Javascript skills are minimal. Not sure what the clash is, I
thought it might be conflicting div id actions not being unique
enough, but it wasn't.
Anyone else?

HI Kin,
I appreciate your quick reply. Actually I was using your old
code to rotate my tabbed panels and not the new one you posted. The
new one from your website works well with regular tabbed panels but
when trying it with a Spry data, it still doesn't work, the tabs
doesn't play at all...
I use the spry:repeat, I don't know if that makes a
difference.
http://demiurgical.fluctuation.net/development/test.html
based on the original Tabbed Panels with Spry Data
http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/samples/tabbedpanels/tabbed_panel_sample2.html
I really appreciate your help!
Thanks,
John

Problem with Spry Tabbed Panels with Explorer 6

I've used Tabbed panels all over my site, and they seemed to work fine in FireFox, Safari, Explorer 7 and 8, etc. but today i checked out Explorer 6 in BrowserLab, after someone said our site looked weird.
In EX 6 it certainly does: all the tabbed panels are preceded by about a screen's worth of empty space!
I'd appreciate it someone could have a look at this and see if they can tell what's going on:
See this page:
http://www.ragandbone.ca/Pages/willows.html
or almost any ohter page on the site!
I'm very far from experienced in web work, so I might need step by step instructions for any fix suggested.
Thanks in advance
John

Hi, John,
Make the width of the .TabbedPanels narrower. In the course of my experiments, I ended up making it 580px, which works in IE6, according to BrowserLab. You had a simple width overrun; your widths + borders+ paddings + margins (within the content div) added up to more than the width available. You might be able to get away with slightly more width, but test it carefully when you start to add it back in...
This might be an instance of the "doubled margin bug" (see http://www.positioniseverything.net/explorer/doubled-margin.html).
I changed the margin on .TabbedPanels to margin: 0 auto; so that any effective centering that had been done by 'filling' the width previously was now achieved by the margin-right and margin-left set to "auto." (The zero applies to top and bottom margin.)
I deleted the left: -40px; that you had applied to .TabbedPanelsTab and zeroed out the right padding on .content ul, .content ol {
padding: 0 15px 15px 0; that your threeColFixHF_RB.css had applied to all ul in the site. This might or might not actually affect anything if you don't make these same changes, but I had altered them in the course of figuring out what was going on. It's never a good policy, in my opinion, to use negative margin if you can simply correct both elements, as I did. You don't want to be progressively compensating for things you don't need anyway!

Image rotation with fade effect

I am new to the spry framework and have just started going
through the examples to see if I could create an image rotator that
fades the images into each other when changing. I have taken
snippets from different places to do this and think I have the
answer but really wanted some feedback to sanity check and let me
know if this is the best way of doing it. If it is, then I hope
others will find it useful.

Opening a popup window with fade effect

Hi,
I have a scenario where I want to open a pop up title window with some nice effect.
Can you please suggest how do I achieve it?
I have a repeater that repeats set of Text UI comps and I want to show a pop up window on MouseOver or MouseClick of each of these Text UI comps.
Please help.
Thank you,
Amey

if you want to open an title Window with a smooth fade effect there are more than one possible ways.
1. Declare Fade Effect
     <s:Fade id="windowFade" target="{_titleWindow}" alphaFrom="0.0" alphaTo="1.0" />
2. Execute the fade effect on openening
     2.1 start the effect after the PopUpManager.addPopUp
     PopUpManager.addPopUp(_titleWindow, this);
     windowFade.play();
     2.2 start the effect on added-Event
     protected function titlewindow1_addedHandler(event:Event):void
          windowFade.play();
3. Make sure the effect is stopped before you start the animation with windowFade.stop()

Vertical tabbed panel with background image

Hi all,
I have a working vertical tabbed panel. For the text that's shown, there's a background image assigned to the associated DIV.
However...
The background image that's shown is clipped to the bottom of the text.
In other words, if I have 3 lines of text, the bottom of the background image only goes as far down as the bottom line of text. In order to show the entire image, I have to put in a lot of </ br> tags for "empty" text, not a very good approach.
More of the backgound will show if I increase the text text size via the browser.
To try to describe this more accurately,
Let's say I have a background image that's 600 px in height, but the lines of text only measure to 400px. That means that the bottom 200 px of the image doesn't show, unless I add more lines of text.
Hoping someone has an answer!
Thanks,
Jerry

Gramps,
Again, thanks for your time. While we're now full time commercial photographers (http://www.jerryandlois.com), I was a software engineer for some 20+ years in an earlier life, all on the application side of things. Not really any appreciable time with website stuff.
There are a few more tech/how-to questions I have that are specific to CSS, in terms of polishing up the small site I'm working on. However these are not SPRY related, unless SPRY can solve this for me.
In particular, suppose I have a large block with a background image and a body of text. I want to ensure the text wraps around the image, rather than being a complete overlay where the text can collide with the main body of the photo.
Example:
http://jerryandloisstudios.com/about.html
The issue is that the text is resizable, by design of course. Is there any way to manage these two elements (text and image) so they get along the right way? We want the text to overlay some of the image, but only on the periphery, if that makes sense. So far, the only solution I've seen is to keep the text formatted roughly in a column so that if its size increases all will still be OK. But... artistically that just doesn't look right.
If you're up for it, I'd certainly welcome a private email thread, unless others can also benefit from the rather newbie questions I'm raising: [email protected]
Again, thank you for your help!!!

Spry tabbed panels with a Google map?

I am building a website with a CS4 Spry tabbed panel (fixed size). On one of the tabs I have a Google map. All works well except.... When I am on a tab different from the map tab and resize the browser window, when I go to the map tab the map does not display or work correctly. A small amount of the map will display in the upper left of the tab panel.
Any ideas?
Thanks, any help is appreciated.

Problem with defaul tabbed panel with page refresh

Hi,
I have a problem with my spry tabbed panels. The default tab
is set to be the 1st tab, when I move to 2nd tab and navigate
through the content, as the page refreshes, and before it is fully
loaded it shows the content of the first tab for about 20 seconds
or so....then the page finally goes to the desired content on the
2nd tab....
How can I make it so this does not happen and it looks like a
smooth transition as I navigate through my pages?
Thanks,
Brandan98

U add extra classNames to the tabs and specify the styles on
the new classes
example:
<div class="TabbedPanels style1_panels" id="tp1">
<ul class="TabbedPanelsTabGroup style1_group">
<li class="TabbedPanelsTab style1_tab"
tabindex="0">Tab 1</li>
<li class="TabbedPanelsTab style1_tab"
tabindex="0">Tab 2</li>
<li class="TabbedPanelsTab style1_tab"
tabindex="0">Tab 3</li>
<li class="TabbedPanelsTab style1_tab"
tabindex="0">Tab 4</li>
</ul>
<div class="TabbedPanelsContentGroup
style1_contentgroup">
<div class="TabbedPanelsContent style1_content">Tab 1
Content</div>
<div class="TabbedPanelsContent style1_content">Tab 2
Content</div>
<div class="TabbedPanelsContent style1_content">Tab 3
Content</div>
<div class="TabbedPanelsContent style1_content">Tab 4
Content</div>
</div>
</div>
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
var tp1 = new Spry.Widget.TabbedPanels("tp1", { defaultTab: 2
</script>
style1 beein the extra class ;)
U can also.. specify other classnames in the constructor read

[CS3] Flash buttons with fade effects.

Well as the title says, i've got some buttons in Flash CS3,
using AS 2 which when clicked changes the frame. The thing is that
i want to add a fade effect to the text area AFTER the button was
pressed. So for example:
The user is reading the text, he presses one of the buttons
(all of which change frames, in this case text) and the text fades
away and the new text fades in.
Well, i've designed the frames needed for this, so i've got
10 frames before the frame the user will see for it to fade in and
10 frames after it to fade out. What i havent figured out yet is
how i'll make the script do that. I mean, i can make the script go
forward one frame, starting the fade out effect, i can make it go
to the frame i want but how will i do both.
I've got 6 buttons and 6 corresponding texts.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Thank you in advance.
P.S.: Any ideas welcome. I can change the frame layout.
P.S.S.: Also forgot to mention that making layers for every
combination is out of question....

I've already had them placed each on their layer. I thought i
might need mobility on the timeline.
Let me see how much of this i understand...
quote:
which im assuming are MovieClip instances
They're graphics but i can simply change them to be movie
clips if it's the case.
quote:
do the same with your buttons on a seperate layer but you
will only need one for them all
I've lost you here....you're saying ill only need one AS
reference?
quote:
for(var i=0; i<btns.length; i++) {
Hmm... you're using the size of the array to set how many
times the loop control will actually loop? Took me a bit to figure
out what length an array could have
quote:
new Tween(current, '_alpha', Strong.easeOut, 100, 0, 10,
false);
new Tween(clips[this.id], '_alpha', Strong.easeOut, 0, 100,
10, false);
current = clips[this.id];
//start the first clip transition 'in'
current = clips[0];
new Tween(clips[0], '_alpha', Strong.easeOut, 0, 100, 10,
false);
Ok i didnt get most of this but i'll have to check out the
parameters for the Tween function.
Actually i plan on going from a 50% alpha to a 100%, but
that's just my choice.
Thanks a lot and hope i dont become too annoying.
P.S. I had a huge revelation at the end when i re-read the
code and finally understood how this is going to work.

Validation Errors with Spry tabbed panels with doctype XHTML 1.0 Strict

I'm getting errors while using the W3C Validation Service on my Strict XHTML 1.0 pages that use the SPRY Tabbed Panels. I've read a few places that W3C has no plans on 'fixing or relaxing" the restrictions. Is there any type of work around to the Spry Widget Tab panels code ??? All of my other pages validate nicely... hate to go back to Transitional afterconverting all my other code.
The DreamWeaver File validation also gives me errors but I think that is fed from W3C.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Pat

Use Spry 2.0
You can see a live demo of Spry 2.0 widgets below (contains valid markup).
http://alt-web.com/sandbox/Spry-test.html
Unless you're incorporating XML applications into your web site, there is not much reason to use XHTML Strict doc types. That standard was last revised in 2002. It has since been replaced with HTML5.
