Hi all  
I’m a beginner with Freeway pro and my boss wants a website containig the “gimmick” shown in the example (left side: if you klick “meer over Marq” everything moves down to reveal a new text. Is this something made in… or is it a freeway action. How is it done?

The ScriptyAccordion action will help you do this - get it at actionsforge. com

I thank you David. Are you sure this action works? I tried and tried and I just can’t get it to work.

Thanks David

I posted a testpaqe at [Home](http://caestert.net/test/) as you can see, nothing happens. I even used a online dictionary to check if I’m translating the commands (English/Dutch) correct. I’m working with a dutch version of Freeway.

When you go to the action forge ScriptyAccordion action page there is at the top a demo link [ScriptyAccordion](http://scripty.walterdavisstudio.com/accordion/). This is the tutorial I used.

Regards,  
Rob

Change your container to a layered item - ie select it and then look in the inspector, there is a layer checkbox in there.

Do that first

David. As you can see on [Home](http://Caestert.net/test) it is working now. Thanks a lot. Without your help I was lost forever.

Yes I saw - glad to have helped.

Remember that you should decide early on whether you are going to use a Table Layout or a CSS Layout.

Table layouts are considered as an old fashioned construction method.

So if you start with the CSS Layout Button enabled (turns blue depending on your system settings) then every item in your FW layout will be made as a layer.

If you already have created some then it will not change their state - you will have to do that in the Inspector. But with the CSS Layout button enabled then every NEW item will be a layered item.
