    Eye icon not displaying in AccordionPanelTab

    farrelldoc Community Member

      This problem is across sites. One of them is http://www.alvingolf.com/documents.html. Strangely, on that site, there is also an accordion where I cannot directly edit in design view, but must edit in the code. That page is http://www.alvingolf.com/banquet-room.html. All the other accordions on the site all editing in design view but still display no eye icon. I can open the panels in the Properties panel, however.

       

      • SpryAccordion.js - version 0.15 - Spry Pre-Release 1.6.1
      • SpryAccordion.css - version 0.4 - Spry Pre-Release 1.6.1
        -- but greatly customized
      • Dreamweaver CS5

       

      Other sites with the same problem are http://www.cityofhillcrestvillage.org/documents.html and http://www.bababaseball.org/documents.html. They have 1.6.1 .js but I noticed they have the 1.4 .css. Now I'm wondering if I copied over something important when I added my former styles back to the SpryAccordion.css on alvingolf.com.

       

      I would like to just reload the new framework, but the link given on the sidebar says explicitly that it ONLY works with CS4, and I have CS5. I found the file in my configuration folder in Program Files, so I'm going to give that a go, but if anyone knows of another reason why the eye might not display, please pass it on.

       

      Actually, this problem started before I upgraded to CS5. And I guess the one where I cannot edit directly is the subject of another post.

       

      Thanks,

      Karen

          Ok, I tried copying the .js and .css files that were installed with my installation of CS5, but that didn't work. The eye still isn't there, and I still can't edit inside the content area in Design View in the banquet-room.html page on alvingolf.com.

           

          Thanks,

            Karen, I have also seen this behavior. Make sure you have not turned off your Invisible Elements. Even in CS5, I get the eyeball when I turn on Invisible Elements and Visual Aids.

             

            If your Spry code is corrupted, however, with an extra div or other item between structure that the widget needs to work, you will not get the eye AND your widget will break.

             

            I have also experienced not being able to edit in Design View. I have not completely tracked down the cause, but in situations where I have not stated a height (most situations) but HAVE spec'd overflow: hidden; I can't edit in Design View in that element. This is in CS5, which seems pickier than CS4 did.

             

            Regarding the sidebar link that states that it ONLY works with CS4, perhaps it means ONLY CS4 and NOT CS3. Typically, code will work going forward, but not work going backward in version. You can get a clue on precise meaning of that statement if you have a date on when it was made. If it was made before CS5 was released (March 2010), it probably means to exclude CS3. If it was made after March 2010, it could mean to exclude also CS5.

             

            You can make a copy of the files/site in case of catastrophe and try using the newer framework in CS5.

              IMG, I feel so stupid! I did have my invisible elements turned off! Wow, I feel like a newbie.

               

              In regards to the one accordion that I can't edit in design view though, I am stumped. The heights are set to auto in in the SpryAccordion.css that works across the site, and there are no internal styles on that page.

               

              Oh well, I don't edit it very often. :\

               

              Thanks so much for your help! It wasn't a huge problem, but it's been bugging me for months!

                I don't know about the "height: auto;" Auto is not a real height (that is, it is dependent on content). Try using a min-height instead of auto.

                 

                And regarding feeling like a newbie, There's a phrase for that: "beginner's eyes." Not sure I remember where it comes from, but I believe it applies well to those of us who slip off the top of our attention-span from time to time!

                  Thanks, but it was the invisible elements being turned off. That fixed it.

                    My last response was in answer to your not being able to edit in the AccordionPanel in Design View.

                     

                    Glad you solved the invisibles problem, though.

                      Oh--I didn't catch that! You are so right about the attention span!

                       

                      And I love the beginner's eyes.

                        may i add my few cents to this topic, without creating a new one?

                         

                        Recently i noticed, using my DW CS4 - in Tabbed Panels i don't see any eye icons, neither blue tabs of any Spry widget. Hence, i cannot edit the content of those tabs. What's more strange, the content of all tabs in design view just flows down in one chunk (or column).

                        Yes, my Invisible Elements are turned on. As is Show Spry Tooltips option.

                         

                        Those pages in CS5 behave correctly, all eye-icons and tabs are in place. And i can swear, some while ago the widgets were OK in my CS4 as well.

                         

                        Currently i have no idea or solution about this.

                          Permit me to suggest that you read all the responses to this original poster's topic. I have done my best to answer a question similar to yours in this topic string. Look especially for the answer that the original poster *(OP)* has assigned as the 'correct' one...the one that solved their problem.

                           

                          That is one way to use others's questions/topics. If those suggestions do not do the trick for you, please start a new thread, as no one will look closely at (to answer) threads that are already marked as answered by the original poster.

                            Thank you for the answer, Beth.

                            I couldn't find a suitable answer in this topic, alas. It merely has to do smth. with elements heights value, since any document that has Spry widget and worked alright previously on CS4/and still works in other installations of Dreamweaver, seems to have faulted visibility in Design View here, now. The content of tabs, or Accordion tabs, just flows down together on the page, or, in some other cases, stays hidden inside the Tabbed panels content, and i cannot edit them.

                            Also, the blue tab of the widget is gone. And so, in the Properties panel there's no possibility to rename/add/move Tabs, these options are like turned off at all in the program. (i can attach a screenshot, if necessary).

                             

                            I feels like the problem is with some initial installation files, which might become corrupted in some case... Or, i don't know.

                            So, neither Invisible Elements nor height value helped me.

                             

                            I guess i better start a new topic here.

                            But thanks again!
