This has been discussed at length in the group
macromedia.labs.spry_framework_for_ajax_prelrelease.
Have a look at this thread

is quite long, but
worth it.

How to update Spry-table and present the updated table in a div element?

Hello!
I am using a very interesting AJAX-framework called Spry when designing a web page. Here the web page is: Link.
I need some help.
Every time a new project or shift is added, the changes are written to an xml-file. When the page is reloaded, Spry reads data from xml-files.
This is caused by this code:
dsProjects = new Spry.Data.XMLDataSet("timetable/projects.xml", "projects/project");
dsShifts = new Spry.Data.XMLDataSet("timetable/{dsProjects::url}", "project/shift"); //look inside projects.xml and //extrac xml-file. url
dsName = new Spry.Data.XMLDataSet("timetable/{dsProjects::url}", "project");
I call this function that I have written: loadProjectsIntoDivElement ().
This function does the following: [See attached code.]
It iterates through the Spry-datastructure and puts the data in a table inside of the div-element called 'projectsList'.
Now, when I add a new project, I want it to be inserted into the Spry-datastructure and then cause the new data to be written into the div element called 'Specials_DIV'.
I have found out how to update a Spry-datastructure (e.g. dsProjects above), but I don't know how to update the table containing the data without refreshing the page. This should be done using Spry.
Some code:
1:
2:
3:
function loadProjectsIntoDivElement () {
$('#projectsList').html('');
$('#projectsList').append('<table id="Specials_Table"><tr><th spry:sort="id">ID</th><th spry:sort="NAME">Name </th><th spry:sort="hoursestimated">Nr. of hours estimated</th><th spry:sort="hoursworked">Nr. of hours worked</th><th spry:sort="costperhour">Cost per hour.</th></tr>{function::init_hours}<tr spry:repeat="dsProjects" onclick="chooseProject({ds_RowID})"><td>{id}</td><td>{NAME}</td><td>{hoursestimated}</td><td>{hoursworked}</td><td>{costperhour}</td></tr></table><br/>{function::get_hours}<br/>');
I have tried to accomplish this in various ways but I don't succeed.
I want to do it without refreshing the page.
Update: I found some code here that I will try: Link
Thanks in advance!

Hello!
Thanks!
I don't succeed with the implementation in any browser.
I have found a way to it, but I would like a way that updates the data quicker and without reloading all of the page. After all, I am only adding one row on the end of the data structure, so there should be no need to read in all data again.
Now I do it like this:
When a project is added, do this:
1. Store a new row in the project file through a php script.
2. When the post-call to the php-file returns, do refresh of the whole page.
Then the newest version of the xml file will be read in.
However, I don't want to read the data from a xml file each time that a new project is created.
I know how to add the new data to a Spry-datastructure [in my code 'dsProjects'], but I don't know how to display the updated data without reloading the whole page.
I have tried some various ways to do it, but haven't succeded.
Thanks!

Issue from updating spry from 1.4 to 1.6.1

I have an .xml file that carries the information for a table
created by spry. Below is an example of how I wrote the address
node in v!.4 There were no problems in writing the code this way
and it displayed as desired.
After the update to v1.6.1. The code displayed differently.
When previewed in a web browser the address will show up and the
line will break to the next line, but also the <br /> tag
will be seen. Is the new update unable to use the CDATA function or
is there something new that has to be done to the .xml document?
thanks

iM08 and iMHD& have a very different way of file manangement..
the only way to 'swap' projects is to create a 'consolidated' single quicktime file - in iM08: 'Export ussing QT..' , choose dv-stream for Standard, AppleINtermediate for HiDef projects..
as said: that consolidates the project; e.g. you can not 'correct' titles, erase disolves, fade audio parts etc.
so, you have to keep in mind, what should be done in the other app, BEFORE editing.. e.g. if you like to use iMHD6 as 'effects machine', transfer only the clip you want to process - after adding effect, re-import that into iM08 to integrate into project.

What is best way to update Spry menu Bar linkages throughout site?

I am new to Dreamweaver CS3 and Spry DataSets; however, I easily created multi-level linkages using the Spry Menu Bar tool. Is there a way that I can cause any linkage change(s) to be proliferated throughout the pages of my web site. This menu bar is the main navigational bar in my site. Currently, I am finding myself going to each page to update the linkages and I know that is the wrong way to accomplish this. Any help is appreciated. Thank you. degraylady

Arnout,
Thank you so much for your reply. It would have taken me a long time to figure this out for myself. I found an article on SSI with detailed instructions at http://http://www.tutorialized.com/view/tutorial/Dreamweaver-CS3-Libraries-and-Server-Side -Includes-Tutorial/28247 so I appreciate your answer so much.

How to update spry tab on all pages?

Hi, Hope someone can help me. I created a template and have
been building new pages. I didn't make the spry tab an editable
region. Since I'm adding more and more pages I'm adding tabs as
drop downs from the spry tab. However the pages I already made
don't show the new spry tab, so if you navigate to an older page
from the homepage the spry menu is not updated with the new pages.
( I changed Psychologist to Store on the main bar for instance. All
the pages I previously made still show "psychologist". It's in an
uneditable region so I can't change it from the page itself. Is
there a way to update all the pages as I add more and more drop
downs to the spry tab?

I tried to use Start body and End Body, I received the following error msg:

Updating Spry menus child pages

Hi guys hope you can help me with this one.
Ive created a template for my website with a spry menu on it with all the link just set # so I could get the template set up.
Now Ive started to create child pages so I wanted to update the template with the links on the spry menu so on the first one I typed in link box the page I wanted it to go to. Saved the template and updated the child pages.
It came up with:
Files scanned: 5
Files Updated: 0
And low and behold on the child pages the link on the spry menu hadn't been updated with the file path.
I have been following the Adobe classroom in a book for CS5 so have created a seperate .css file for all my css styles as it directs you to do in the book.
Can anyone tell me what im doing wrong??

Any help with dynamically updating spry attributes?

I am trying to use Spry validation fields for a dynamically
validated form using javascript. I have two key problems:
1. The .reset() method for spry fields seems to work only if
invoked from a function associated with the onclick handler of a
form button: if I call the method from a function triggered by the
onblur handler of a field it has no effect.. strange!
2. I can find no way to change whether a spry field is
mandatory without reloading the page and invoking the constuctor
again.
If anyone has any ideas to tackle either issue I would be
extremely grateful!!
Jon

Right, I realize that now, but that would require deleting the current dynamically linked After Effects project, right?
Also, I think the solution to my problem would be found if I could find a way to remove the dynamic link between After Effects and Premiere. Any ideas?

Spry Version Update

Just started playing with Spry. Had version 1.4 loaded in
Dreamweaver. Downloaded the complete version 1.6. No where does it
tell me where to actually put the boatload of files and folders I
just downloaded.

Just install that extension and it will updater the files in

Then in the Site menu is a Spry Updater... menu item. Use
that to update the files in your sites.
Hope this helps.
Don
I feel foolish even to ask, but I guess that we were all
novices once!
When you run the Updater in DW CS3 does that update all the
content from the local copy that you have?
I downloaded the 1.6 files to my desktop and ran it all from
there. If I delete this desktop file, am I screwed, or is all safe
and well!
On another matter - is XMLNestedDataSet.js or
(NestedXMLDataSet.js) included in this update. I want to use it,
but I don't have it as an option. Does it need to be hand coded, or
is it on a list somewhere?
Thanks, and again, apolgies for humble nature of query. I
notice that most of these forums are of a calibre several orders of
magnitude more detailed than this!

How to update all spry menu tabs on all pages

Hi, Really need some help. I'm working in DW CS3. I've got a
working Spry menu. ( Eureka!). I quickly made a template to start
building pages. I left the spry bar as an uneditable region. My
question is I made a change to the Spry Menu on the homepage. I
changed one of the always visable tabs from Psychologist to
"Store", and I'm adding new tabs under "instruction" every day.
Problem is the already made pages are showing the original
"non-update" spry menu. Is there a way for me to have DW update the
spry bar on all pages, or is it because I made that uneditable it
won't do it and I have to change the template?
Thanks very much!

I am not using an external style sheet....
Why the heck not? It's so much simpler to maintain site wide styles with one style sheet instead of many.
Dreamweaver, Linking HTML to External Style Sheets
As bregent says, CSS is not going to help you with HTML content. If your site is already built without the aid of Server-Side Includes or DW Templates, another option is Library Items.

Spry Menu Bar Question

Hello all,
I am using Spry Menu Bars for the first time and have checked
out most of the online documentation. I have gone into the CSS file
to customize much of the look of my first menu.
I would like to do the following, but can't seem to find
where to do it:
1. Change the height (not width) of my top menu item -- it
has created some unwanted padding.
2. Change the width of my submenu independently of the top
menu item -- to allow for longer text.
3. Change the submenu text color and size independently of
the top menu item text.
Here is a link to my sample navigation bar (only the first
item "Latest News" has a menu):
http://stage.ecdi.com/includes/nav_bar.html
Sorry for the extent of my request, but I have gotten
blurry-eyed looking for posted material that answers my inquiry.
You guys are the best...
Matt

The reason you don't see a lot here in this forum is because
Adobe created a Spry forum. The first thing I would recommend doing
is updating Spry if you have not done so before:
http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/
Then you can head over to the Spry forums here:
http://www.adobe.com/go/labs_spry_pr1_forum
To answer your question though, everything you want to edit
is in the CSS document in the SpryAssets folder. All of the
attributes are defined in there.

Help with Spry Detail Regions, XML Data Sets, for IMG gallery

Hello,
I'm working on a site for a friend of mine, a photo gallery. You can see the gallery here, it's a temporary one I'm working on
http://www.emiliajozefa.com/a_index.html
Here are some important parts of my code:
//initially load these data sets. the function will be called by the links to update components later<script type="text/javascript">
     var intNumPhoto = 0;
     dsGallery = new Spry.Data.XMLDataSet("photofile.xml", "galleries/ride/photo");
     dsNav = new Spry.Data.XMLDataSet("photofile.xml", "galleries/ride");
     function updateSpryComponents(galleryDir){
          alert("updating spry components for " + galleryDir);
          intNumPhoto = 0;
          dsGallery = Spry.Data.XMLDataSet("photofile.xml", "galleries/" + galleryDir + "/photo");
          dsNav = Spry.Data.XMLDataSet("photofile.xml", "galleries/" + galleryDir);
          dsGallery.setCurrentRow(intNumPhoto);
          //document.getElementById('nav').innerHTML='<H1>'+enlarge.inp.value+'</H1>';
          document.getElementById('nav').innerHTML=
          "<span spry:detailregion = 'dsGallery'>
         <a href = 'javascript:' onclick = 'if(intNumPhoto > 0){intNumPhoto -= 1}; dsGallery.setCurrentRow(intNumPhoto);'><</a> {@id} / </span>
         <span spry:detailregion = 'dsNav'>{@numPhotos}
         <a href = 'javascript:' onclick = 'if(intNumPhoto < ({@numPhotos} - 1)){intNumPhoto += 1; }; dsGallery.setCurrentRow(intNumPhoto);'>></a>
         </span>";
</script> <--- later ---->
     <div id = "sideBarNav">
         <a href = "javascript:" onclick ='updateSpryComponents('ride');">Tannersville</a>
            <br />
          <a href = "javascript:" onclick = "updateSpryComponents('dive');">Dive</a>
        <br />
          <a href = "javascript:" onclick = "updateSpryComponents('poland');">Poland</a>
        <br />
          <a href = "javascript:" onclick = "updateSpryComponents('alaska');">Alaska</a>
    </div>
</div>
<div id = "content2">
     
     <div id = "fotoContainer" spry:detailregion="dsGallery"><img src = "photos/{@path}" width = "{@width}" height = "{@height}"/></div>
     
     <div id = "nav">
         <span spry:detailregion = "dsGallery" id = "galSpan">
         <a href = "javascript:" onclick = "if(intNumPhoto > 0){intNumPhoto -= 1}; dsGallery.setCurrentRow(intNumPhoto);"><</a> {@id} / </span>
         <span spry:detailregion = "dsNav" id = "navSpan">{@numPhotos}
         <a href = "javascript:" onclick = "if(intNumPhoto < ({@numPhotos} - 1)){intNumPhoto += 1; }; dsGallery.setCurrentRow(intNumPhoto);">></a>
         </span>
     </div>
You could view source there to get the code. Here is what I believe is my problem
I'm trying to automate the site so that when you click on one of the links on the left, without refreshing the page, the paths to the galleries xml file changes, and the spry Detail Regions (1 for the images, 1 for the navigation - left and right arrows). I think the problem is that once the link changes the set and calls my updateSpryComponenets() function, the detail regions need to be refreshed. I'm currently trying to solve this by dynamically rewriting the HTML thru .innterHTML, everytime I call updateSpryComponents().There may also be a problem in the Javascript function updateSpryControllers because if I put the alert after the spry calls, I never get the alert
Thanks in advance for any help!

Update:
Ok, the first query on the Recent tab doesnt work for me because it wont show unless its already voted, and since these are supposed to be new blurts, that kind of breaks the whole site:
"SELECT Blurt.Id_blurt, Blurt.Name, Blurt.Location, Blurt.Blurt,Blurt.`Date`,DATE_FORMAT(Blurt.`Date`, '%l:%i %p on %M %D, %Y') as Date, ratings.rating_id, Avg(ratings.rating_value) as average_r FROM ratings Left Join Blurt On ratings.rating_id = Blurt.Id_blurt Group By Id_blurt ORDER BY Blurt.`Date` DESC";
So I replaced it with what I originally had.
"SELECT Blurt.Id_blurt, Blurt.Name, Blurt.Location, Blurt.Blurt,Blurt.`Date`,DATE_FORMAT(Blurt.`Date`, '%l:%i %p on %M %D, %Y') as Date FROM Blurt ORDER BY Blurt.`Date` DESC";
But this doesn't provide me with the initial average rating:(

Spry Horizontal drop downs not working in Chrome or FF

Hi,
I used the Spry Horizontal Drop downs, and they work fine locally and in IE, but not in Chrome or FF, you can't see the drop down sub menus. I'm using DW cs3, updated spry 1.6.1
Here is a link to the site

Spry horizontal submenu does not hide in IE

I do.

Without seeing what has been changed it is hard to say. One
suggestion I can make without seeing the code is to make sure your
Spry is up-to-date. To find out your current Spry version, look at
the SpryMenuBarHorizontal.css file in the SpryAssets folder. At the
top it will say "SpryMenuBarHorizontal.css - version 0.# - Spry
Pre-Release 1.#.#"
If you are not running version 0.6; Pre-release 1.6.1 then
you are not using the latest version. If this is the case head to
the site below which is the official Spry website. There you will
find a link to the official Spry forums as well as the Spry updater
package. Inside this package is a bunch of samples, demos and an
Extension. Install the extension and then re-start DW. Once
restarted, under the Sites menu you will see a new option to Update
Spry. Click on this and your Spry will be updated to the latest
version.
If you are still having issues after doing this you will need
to post either a link to your page or the code from your page so we
can see what you have modified to the Spry script.

Spry accordion content not hiding in IE

Hi all,
I threw together a page using accordion menus (
http://www.riverviewbiblecamp.com/menu.php),
it works fine in Firefox, Safari, and Opera, but in Internet
Explorer the conent doesn't hide in the 'closed' panels. The panels
move when you click, making me think it's a CSS issue?
Thanks a lot,
Rory

Hi:
Have you tried updating Spry library files to the latest
version (1.6)?
From your source, I can see that you are using 1.4
