Tabbed panels are now bullets

I'm using CS4.
My tabs for my tabbed panels turned into bullets. What did I do? What should I look at to correct this?
I was cruising in my first tutorial just fine and now this.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Additionally, how would I stop the double spacing for my text in my panels? I can paste text in just fine but when I edit and add more lines it double spaces.
Thanks.

Hi Counterparts,
You are right about the swich styles on/off, that option only exists with the spry menu. However when you don't see the tabbed pannel but bullets instead it means the same: the css style is not active. That probably means that the link in between the head tags in your document that says style/css is broken. You can insert the tabbed pannels again andt that will solve it or you have to fix the link manually (it may just be the best option to insert the tabbs in another page and than copy the css link to your first page so you don't have to do the tabbs there again).

Help, Spry Tabbed Panels are causing links not to work

Here is the page: http://www.spalutions.com
Here are the trouble spots:
Menu at very top of page
Home | Contact Us | Site Map
Links within the panels
Email link at the bottom of the content area
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Fascinating.
The Validator found three important errors you might fix to see if they help resolve the problem:
at about line 107:
<div class="editable"div id="contentWrapper">
at about line 197:
<div class="editable" div id="footer2"></div>
and
id="footer" twice on page
After you fix these, run the Validator again: http://validator.w3.org/check?verbose=1&uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.spalutions.com%2Findex.html to find any more important issues.
Then let us know if that helped!

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

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!

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;

??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- Open link on click

I am completely new to Dreamweaver and web design in general so please bear with me. I have created a tab menu using Spry Tabbed Panels but dont know how to make it so once a tab has been clicked an html file (ex. tab1.html which is saved on my computer) opens in the content portion, not open a new window.Can anyone post a tutorial or if its simple enough, post some directions?
Any help would be appreciated!

Spry Tabbed Panels are not a "menu" per se, but a series of panels, all but one of which remain hidden until their tab is clicked. Tabbed Panels is a Spry "disclosure" widget. All the content may actually exist on the same page as the Tabbed Panels widget, or you can use <iframe></iframe> to 'surface' other pages in your Tabbed Panel Content divs.
As it sounds as if you want to use the <iframe> approach, here's how:
<div id="TabbedPanels1" class="TabbedPanels">
<ul class="TabbedPanelsTabGroup">
    <li class="TabbedPanelsTab" tabindex="0">First Panel</li>
    <li class="TabbedPanelsTab" tabindex="0">Second Panel</li>
</ul>
<div class="TabbedPanelsContentGroup">
    <div class="TabbedPanelsContent">This is the content of the first panel <br /><iframe src="heirloom.html" width="100%" height="800" frameborder="0"></iframe></div>
    <div class="TabbedPanelsContent">This is the content of the second panel <br /><iframe src="data.html" width="100%" height="500"></iframe></div>
</div>
</div>
You can also omit the frameborder="0" if you want to keep the default look of an iframe. Remember to give both a height and a width to your iframes. Test them in several different browsers (or BrowserLab) to make sure they look the way you want.

Using Tabbed Panels

I have placed a tabbed panel on the master slide used for each of the staff biography pages in our corporate web site. The panel has two tabs; one for a personal statement and the second for facts about each staff member (Year joined the firm, professional certifications, etc.) Every one of the 26 biography pages has the two panels (they all share the same master), but the content on each panel is different for each staff member.
When I place text on the facts tab of the panel in on an individual's bio page, the text I place is showing up on both the first and second tab. How do I designate content to appear on a specific tab an no other.
Also, there does not appear to be a way to switch between tabs on an individuals page in design mode. I have to go to the master, select the first tab, go to the individuals page and enter the content, then go back to the master and select the second tab and then go back to the individuals page and enter content for tab two. This is quite cumbersome. Is there any way to switch between tabs on a page in design mode when the tabbed panel iteself is being "brought over" to that page from the master?
Thanks very much.
Andy.

Hi Andy,
You can't edit the contents of any objects placed on the Master Page in Child Page and Tabbed Panels are no exception.
You can't add a tabbed panel to a master page and manipulate its contents in the child pages based on that master page. The way to go here would be to create one page with the tabbed panel content and then duplicate it to generate other pages and modify their contents.
To keep the styling of Tabbed Panels in sync and linked you can use the Graphics/Paragraph/Character styles panel to apply styles and changes styles to all tabbed panels at once by changing the properties of the Style in the panel.
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
Vikas

Tabbed Panels & IE 7 Weirdness

I have a page that contains 5 instances of the DW CS3 spry tabbed panels. All work fine in IE 8 & FF 3 on Windows (and Safari & FF on Mac).
But in Win IE 7, the content of two of those panels is hidden on page load. The tabs and text within the tabs shows up fine, and the panels are both expanded to approximately the size they should be with content, but the content itself is hidden. Viewing the source code shows the content of those panels is rendering to the page, but it's acting as if it's hidden.
Here's where it gets weird: If I scroll the page such that the bottom edge of the containing panel is touching the edge of the browser window, the contents suddenly appear! Scrolling further either way up or down makes the contents disappear.
The link to the offending page:
http://nlstage.sx.atl.publicus.com/
The offending tabbed panels are in the right-hand column (Polls/Queries) and (Chats/Forums) ... all the other tabbed panels on the page work fine in IE 7.
Thanks ...

Your page took an inordinately long time to load on my system, and I am using the browsers in which you said your page works.
This leads me to believe that your primary difficulty is with the validation of your code.
http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http://nlstage.sx.atl.publicus.com/&charset=(detect+auto matically)&doctype=Inline&group=1&user-agent=W3C_Validator/1.654
will show the report I received from the w3c validator.
You will find some errors that relate to the Spry, and the Spry might be all right...the validator will not recognize the Spry appropriately.
If you can work your way through validating the code on your pages, you may also fix the apparent difficulty with your Spry Tabbed Panels not showing up.

Spry tabbed panels 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!

First you have some code issues. Run your page through the validator: http://validator.w3.org/ . You can ignore the tabindex one because Spry uses that even though it's not really valid. You can't have an h6 tag inside an h6 tag, you are missing some end tags. CSS seems fine, just the usual Spry items come up.
Make sure all the tags match up and see if you are still having the issue. Also, be aware that there is a version 2 of the Spry Tabbed Panels as part of the Widget Browser (integrated in CS5, separate for CS4 use). See the following page for more details: http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/widgetbrowser/ .

Calling a spry tabbed panel

Hello, my situation:
I created a livesearch (like the gmail address search) which
echo's into a div. I use an onclick to call another JS file which
echo's a page called product.php into the div.
The spry tabbed panels are placed on the product.php page.
The problem is that the spry js file is ignored by AJAX. This
causes the tabbed panels not work. Do you know a way around?

You can do that there is a sample to look at, click the
Widgets tab and then the Tabbed panels from spry data link

Accordian & Tabbed Panel Error

When I have the tabbed panel content set to expand
automatically (ie scroll bars do no appear, the content just
expands as the data gets bigger (or vice versa if the content is
less for the next tab)… it does as it should and the content
area expands or contracts accordingly.
However… if I insert the accordion widget within one of
the content areas, if the accordion is set to auto AND the tabbed
panels are set to auto, the tabbed content does not expand if the
data within the accordion requires it to do so.
Does this make sense?
Let me know if I need to re-explain.
Thank you.

I'm having the same problem. as this problem resides on an
intranet I don't have a url to a demo.
However, to make it clearer - I have a spry accordion with
tabbed panels in it. If the tabbed panel content height is more
than let's say 500px (which is the accordion content height) then a
scrollbar appears on the right. BUT this also causes another issue
which is when you use the scroll bar to scroll through the content,
the tab panels hover over the content!
I've tried changing the content height for both BUT the page
looks stupid when there is content far less than the set content
height!
hope you gifted people can help with this issue.
I have updated my spry to 1.6.
thanks

Table expands outside of the content area in a tabbed panel - sometimes

I am using a tabbed panel to create several different views of a database. The system is working pretty well, the only problem I have is that the content for almost all of the tabbed panels extend beyond the right hand end of the content panel. The page is here www.mwlcraftshow.com/gordo.php and you'll see that when you select the "Declined" tab the data shows correctly within the content area, but if you select "Accepted" or "All vendors" the table extends beyond the content panel. I've reviewed the html and css and don't see any difference between the tab that works (Declined) and tabs that don't work (All vendors, Accepted).
I'd really appreciate someone pointing me in the right direction.
Thanks

I see that you are indicating td widths for your tables. If you don't try to dictate widths in tables AND reduce the size of your text, you will have better luck keeping the table on the panel. You might also consider making the live area for the TabbedPanels wider, as well (the whole widget). If you have a limited size monitor, you won't be able to do that.
The only size you should use on this table is for the table width itself: use 100%, and it will fill the TabbedPanel Content width-wise, and should force the columns to fit (if you take off their widths as I suggested above).
With tables, absolute width indicators seem only to be a "suggestion" as tables will automatically expand if the content is too much for the content cells. Applying a 100% width for the table as a whole should force the cells to expand down and not horizontally.

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.

Tabbed Panels: Two content areas?

Hi, I want to set up my Tabbed Panels so that when a certain tab is clicked, the content displayss in one content area/div and an image shows in another content area/div. Is that possible? If it is, will it change the CSS? On most pages, I want to use the same CSS style for tabbed panels, but only one content area.
Thanks very much,
Mike

You could do 2 things.
1) include the "area" inside the tabbed panels content, and use position:absolute; to position it everywhere that you want on your page
2) create onclick function on each tabbedpanel tab that will display the content for you.

Tabbed panels are now bullets
