JavaScript - Problem With Collapsing/expanding Menu - Accordion
Hey,
I'm having trouble with this site http://bit.ly/hL0u0w... If you go to the services section you will see a sub navigation on the left of the box. The idea of this is to have sub sections within the main headings that expand/collapse when selected. Insted when any one link is clicked the whole menu expands and not just the related sub sections. This is the javascript Quote: <script type="text/javascript"> $(document).ready (function() { $('#link1').click(function() { $('.slide').slideToggle('fast'); }); $('.close').click(function() { $('.slide').slideUp('fast'); }); $(document).ready (function() { $('#link2').click(function() { $('.slide').slideToggle('fast'); }); $('.close').click(function() { $('.slide').slideUp('fast'); }); }); $(document).ready (function() { $('#link3').click(function() { $('.slide').slideToggle('fast'); }); $('.close').click(function() { $('.slide').slideUp('fast'); }); }); }); </script> and here is the html Quote: <div id="subnav4"> <ul class="navigation4 pagination"> <li class="tab4"><a rel="1" id="link1" href="#">heading 1</a></li> <li style="display: none;" class="dome slide"><a href="#">corporate id</a></li> <li style="display: none;" class="dome slide"><a href="#">branding</a></li> <li style="display: none;" class="dome slide"><a href="#">brochures</a></li> <li style="display: none;" class="dome slide"><a href="#">direct mail</a></li> <li class="tab4"><a id="link2" href="#">heading 2</a></li> <li style="display: none;" class="dome slide"><a href="#">email marketing</a></li> <li style="display: none;" class="dome slide"><a href="#">websites</a></li> <li class="tab4"><a id="link3" href="#">heading 3</a></li> <li style="display: none;" class="dome slide"><a href="#">advertising</a></li> <li style="display: none;" class="dome slide"><a href="#">audiovisual</a></li> <li class="tab4"><a id="heading 3" href="#">exhibitions</a></li> </ul> </div> Hope someone can help with this! Many thanks! Similar TutorialsHi, I am trying to do a FAQ section on a site. New to this stuff. What I would like to do is: 1.Question 2.Answer (Question and part of an answer are visible) 3. A button for expanding/collapsing. I am trying to do a button that changes on hover,and when text is expanded image changes, then on hover it changes again and if I press I collapse it to the original image).

Hi all, I'm using the scripts from Dynamic Drive http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamici...edcollapse.htm to create a sliding collapsing/expanding div. I need to modify it slightly so instead of an image for the toggle, it has text hyperlink - changing from "Show More" to "Show Fewer". Can anyone help? Thanks http://www.mainstudio.com/ Can anyone recommend a code to create an expandable panel similar the one in this link, but one which expands and collapses horizontally as opposed to vertically? Also, to include the functionality of having content inside each panel load only after its clicked. http://www.codingforums.com/showthread.php?t=87742 I've been using the advice and code here to start incorporating expanding/collapsing tables into my work, but I'm hitting a little problem. I want to have multiple such tables side-by-side (each headed by a picture and populated by a lightbox, which isn't the issue), but Dreamweaver wants nothing to do with the idea. I don't really even know if it's possible, but if it is I'd like to know what sort of changes I might need to make to achieve it.
Hello everyone! I'm newly managing a small college website with next to no experience. There is a file called "bios.js" which creates expanding/collapsing li's. The problem is that I've put some hyperlinks into the expanded content, and it seems that "bios.js" is in front of, so clicking the hyperlink simply collapses the list item instead of opening the link. Is there any way to: a) have the hyperlinks trump the javascript? b) Make "bios.js" apply to the title class of the list item rather than the list item itself? I'm new to this, so I'm not going to post 100 lines of code before I know if it's doable. And if you reply to this, perhaps you could give me a hint as to what part of the code I should post (the open-hover portion?). Thanks all! Hi All, So i have been trying over the past few weeks (among other things) to get this menu figured out. I would really appreciate some advice/help/direction with this... Please see attached pic... what i have is three elements: "Home" "Services" "Contact". What i want is on page load they are all 100px wide... now whenever user hovers over an item it expands to be 200px wide while the other two shrink to 50px... remove hover they revert to original... I am not too familiar with javascript as i mainly use C# to do the tasks normally done by javascript (i work on asp.net platform)... i have presented a similar question to this in ajax section (thinkin that what i had was an ajax work around) but upon further reading of sources i think that is not really what i want... I am unsure where to begin and what to do... i know i need to set up a function and i have the math part figured out (i think)... i guess what i am really unclear as to whether this is a modification to the accordion menu frame... the issues i see are that i do not want the menu to have a traditional "content" area that collapses; i want the menu "headers" to expand... i also need them to expand horizontally not vertically... i am not looking for someone to "do this" for me; i am looking for advice and guidance... possibly a link to a tutorial? i have tried this but it does not work right... i can revisit it (possibly type-Oed something) but i havent because it is not really what i am looking for Hello to all, I have a little problem with my accordion menu and I CRAVE for your help! I try to make this: when you visit my page I need the menu to be all collapsed. Also the history of clicks (it remembers which menus where left opened) works fine on IE but not on firefox. Here is the js code: function add_menu_event_handlers() { var elems = document.getElementsByTagName('h3'); for (i = 0; i < elems.length; i++) { switch (elems[i].parentNode.className) { /*case 'moduletable': case 'moduletable_menu':*/ case 'left_module_title': case 'left_module_title_menu': { if (elems[i].parentNode.parentNode.parentNode.id == 'xp-left') { xplike_addEvent(elems[i], 'click', function(){menu_header_click(this);}); // menu_header_click(elems[i]); //Load status from cookies and collapse if required var cookie_array = document.cookie.split(';'); for(var j=0; j<cookie_array.length; j++) { var c = cookie_array[j]; while (c.charAt(0)==' ') c = c.substring(1,c.length); if (c.indexOf('xplike_menu_status_' + elems[i].firstChild.nodeValue.replace('.', '_').replace(' ', '_')) == 0) { var menu_cookie = c.split('=') if (menu_cookie.length == 2 && menu_cookie[1] == '1') { menu_header_click(elems[i]); } } } } } } } } And it also has this for the history thing. function save_menu_status(menu_title, value, how_many_days) { var date = new Date(); date.setTime(date.getTime()+(how_many_days*24*60*6 0*1000)); var expires = ""; document.cookie = 'xplike_menu_status_' + menu_title.replace('.', '_').replace(' ', '_') + '=' + value + expires + '; path=/'; } It might be easy and stupid, I know, but since I'm a designer - not a developer - all look weird to me! Any thoughts? Hi All, I want an accordion menu and which is as follows 1.it should be a vertical accordion menu 2.every menu should display with image and link 3.if i click on image or link then only menu should display or open to show sub menu otherwise it should not display. Please tell the solution for the above ThanksAhead Venkat I’m trying to implement a JavaScript that creates an accordion menu. As the script currently stands, your able to tell the first list within the menu to expand when the page loads. You do this by adding .expandfirst into the ul class tag. My question is... Does anyone know how to edit the JavaScript so that I can also tell the menu (on some pages) to expand the second or third list? I only need one list to be expanded at any one time. Here's the script... Code: function initMenus() { $('ul.menu ul').hide(); $.each($('ul.menu'), function(){ $('#' + this.id + '.expandfirst ul:first).show(); }); $('ul.menu li a').click( function() { var checkElement = $(this).next(); var parent = this.parentNode.parentNode.id; if($('#' + parent).hasClass('noaccordion')) { $(this).next().slideToggle('normal'); return false; } if((checkElement.is('ul')) && (checkElement.is(':visible'))) { if($('#' + parent).hasClass('collapsible')) { $('#' + parent + ' ul:visible').slideUp('normal'); } return false; } if((checkElement.is('ul')) && (!checkElement.is(':visible'))) { $('#' + parent + ' ul:visible').slideUp('normal'); checkElement.slideDown('normal'); return false; } } ); } $(document).ready(function() {initMenus();}); Hope someone can help!? Hi, I mainly do PHP/MySQL coding, but I wanted to add this Javascript Accordion Menu to my site: Javascript And CSS Tutorial - Accordion Menus | Switch on the Code It works fine, but I was wondering if there was a simple way to modify the code so that the currently open menu stays open from page to page instead of closing upon each page reload? Thanks for the help, --Anamaniac I'm creating a menu using html, css and a javascript, I found a tutorial to follow online.

Jesper Hi, I have a browser related problem that affects my accordion menu. I used a menu from dynamic drive: http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamici...enu-bullet.htm Only one of 4 headers in the menu expand, and that has another level inside. The issue is that in safari, when you click on 'portfolio' to expand and load a page, when the page loads the menu fully collapses, rather than staying open with the sub menu visible. I have tried increasing the delay between opening the menu and then navigating to the page, but this hasn't helped. this is a link to the site, to see desired behavior firefox does a good job. http://www.wadmanlimited.co.uk/bestudioweb thanks for any help. Code: function initMenu(){ var menus, menu, text, a, i, CurrentID; menus = getChildrenByElement(document.getElementById("menu")); CurrentID = document.getElementById("auto"); for(i = 0; i < menus.length; i++){ menu = menus[i]; text = getFirstChildByText(menu); a = document.createElement("a"); menu.replaceChild(a, text); a.appendChild(text); a.href = "#"; a.onclick = showMenu; a.onfocus = function(){this.blur()}; } //CurrentID.showMenu; thought this would work but it doesn.t } I am modifying a website for a company I am interning at. I have no javascript experience and was just thrown in. I need the menu to open when page is clicked so that it looks like the menu stayed open when you made a selection and the new page loads. I have a id in the html of the pages called "auto" to designate the menu item in the page to be opened. If anyone could help I would be very grateful. I will be keeping a lookout for posts If this is in the wrong forum please move it. I'm new to Javascript so I'm not so much aware of the types as of yet. I'm using Javascript for the first time, and I've used it on my blog to create a blog archive. However, I want it to be set out like this: Menu Item 1 [Click to expand] -Sub Item 1.1 [Click to expand] -Sub Item 2.1 [Click to get to page] Menu Item 1 is expanding fine, and I know how to get Sub Item 2.1 to link to the page, however I can't seem to link Sub Item 1.1 to expand. Can someone help please? URL: http://dinotamermeep.blogspot.com/p/blog-archive.html Thank you, -Meepski I'm making an JS accordion and I just miss the final step. That is - say: I click menu 1, content 1 slides down (shows up). After that, I click menu 2, content 2 slides down but content 1 of menu 1 just display: none (abruptly disappers) but not slides up. For the slide up effect, I wrote a function called cutHeight(). The cutHeight function works perfectly independently but not coherent with the accordion function.

I need an expanding, vertical menu, virtually identical to: http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamici...enu-glossy.htm but with one change. The menu subheaders, ie, "CSS Examples, CSS Drives" are currently just text and their background is defined in the CSS. I need to make these menu subheaders rollover graphics instead of text. It is easy to replace the submenu items themselves with rollover graphics instead of text, but the menu subheaders have defeated me. Is there a cunning solution to this? Regards Gary Hi. I am trying to learn how to make a Javascript menu for my webpage. I have made the menu and it works. I can collapse a submenu when I click on the menu header. I wan't it to start collapsed and then open a menu item when you click on it. I have figured out that it have something to do with the function Closeall(). But can't figure out what. Perhaps someone in here can help me or perhaps help me make a better menu. <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <meta content="text/html; charset=utf-8" http-equiv="Content-Type" /> <title>IT-Menu</title> <script type="text/javascript" language="javascript1.3"> function closeall() { var divs=document.getElementsByTagName('div') for(var i=0; i<divs.length; i++) divs.style.display='none'; } function clicked(element) { var div=document.getElementById(element) if(div.style.display=='none') div.style.display='block'; else div.style.display='none'; return; } </script> </head> <body> <a href="#" onclick="clicked('MENU1')">MENU1</a><div id="MENU1"> <a href="#">SUBMENU1</a> <br /> <a href="#">SUBMENU2</a> </div> <br /> <a href="#" onclick="clicked('MENU2')">MENU2</a><div id="MENU2"> <a href="#">SUBMENU1</a> <br /> <a href="#">SUBMENU2</a> </div> </body> Hello all, Firstly apologies for my javascript ignorance - I'm not a programmer, just someone thrust into programming since there's no-one else at my company who can do it. I found a nice js script online for a drop-down menu where the drop downs both expand to their full size and fade-in (very quickly) from transparent. The script in action can be seen on the script writer's site he http://sandbox.leigeber.com/dropdown-menu/index.html and the script is: Code: var menu=function(){ var t=15,z=50,s=6,a; function dd(n){this.n=n; this.h=[]; this.c=[]} dd.prototype.init=function(p,c){ a=c; var w=document.getElementById(p), s=w.getElementsByTagName('ul'), l=s.length, i=0; for(i;i<l;i++){ var h=s[i].parentNode; this.h[i]=h; this.c[i]=s[i]; h.onmouseover=new Function(this.n+'.st('+i+',true)'); h.onmouseout=new Function(this.n+'.st('+i+')'); } } dd.prototype.st=function(x,f){ var c=this.c[x], h=this.h[x], p=h.getElementsByTagName('a')[0]; clearInterval(c.t); c.style.overflow='hidden'; if(f){ p.className+=' '+a; if(!c.mh){c.style.display='block'; c.style.height=''; c.mh=c.offsetHeight; c.style.height=0} if(c.mh==c.offsetHeight){c.style.overflow='visible'} else{c.style.zIndex=z; z++; c.t=setInterval(function(){sl(c,1)},t)} }else{p.className=p.className.replace(a,''); c.t=setInterval(function(){sl(c,-1)},t)} } function sl(c,f){ var h=c.offsetHeight; if((h<=0&&f!=1)||(h>=c.mh&&f==1)){ if(f==1){c.style.filter=''; c.style.opacity=1; c.style.overflow='visible'} clearInterval(c.t); return } var d=(f==1)?Math.ceil((c.mh-h)/s):Math.ceil(h/s), o=h/c.mh; c.style.opacity=o; c.style.filter='alpha(opacity='+(o*100)+')'; c.style.height=h+(d*f)+'px' } return{dd:dd} }(); with Code: var menu=new menu.dd("menu"); menu.init("menu","menuhover"); used on my html page to call the script. I'm using the script exactly as written and exactly as it is on the dude's demo page for it. However, some of my sub-menu items are wider than their parent items and in IE7 this means they are bound to the width of the parent until the animations have finished, and then pop-out to their full width (NB not an issue in FF3). I'm actually not too fussed about either the fade in or expand out effects (they'd be nice, but not at the expense of the IE7 bug) so I simply wanted to know what I should do to the script to turn off the effects, or make them instant - ie reduce the length of the effect to as short as possible. I understand I can get rid of the bug by specifying a width for the ul element in my css, but I'd rather not do that if I can help it. I'd appreciate anyone's insight on this. Thanks Tom Hello there guys! Thanks for taking time to view this thread. It's appriciated! I found a really nice menu (Javascript, JQuery) im not so high tech on this myself, and not the best coder either but whenever I use this menu it gives the login box on the website an error, it doesn't let people login.. I've tried to localize the error myself, but I just dont know how to fix it, I think the issue is that the site system i use doesn't support these type of scripts which gives the login errors! I'm currently using a free website system, which allows you to customize anything you want called "uCoz" The menu i used was: http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamici...enu-glossy.htm And I think it's the jquery that gives the login box errors.. I'm thankfull for answers if anyone knows I would like to create collapsing boxes. I would like for them to have different colors. Box1 Box 3 Link 1 Link 1 Link 2 link 2 Link 3 Link 3 Box2 Box 4 Link 1 Link 1 Link 2 link 2 Link 3 Link 3 I got the code to do the first column (box 1 and 2). But I don't know how to add a second column (box 3 and 4). Any help would be appreciated. Thanks |
