Hi all,

I have never worked with any accordions but am interested in a vertical one but when the person clicks and it drops down, I need a table of info.

is this possible?

If so, what is the best action to use?

Thanks,

Barry

Use ScriptyAccordion. You can use any content format you like, as long as you follow the simple rules for assembling the accordion “stack”.

  1. Draw a single HTML box big enough to hold all the content, fully expanded.
  2. Decide what your header element type will be, and what your content format will be. These have to be different from one another, and consistently applied in order, like this: Header, [return], Content, [return], Header, [return], Content, [return] inside the outer HTML box.
  3. Apply the Action to the outer box, and then configure the Actions palette to explain which element is your header and which element is your content area.

So if you have tables for all of your content areas, you can set Table as the “Show/Hide Elements” and any other content type – h2, P, image – as your header. Whatever you choose, you just have to use it consistently.

If you want to mix it up, like maybe the content on one item will be a table, and on another, it will be a paragraph, then you have to pick something like a DIV as your content area, because then you can wrap that content type around nearly anything. If you did that, your page could look like this:

<div id="theOuterAccordionWrapper">
	<h2>First header</h2>
	<div>
		<p><img src="some/image.jpg" /></p>
	</div>
	<h2>Second header</h2>
	<div>
		<table>
			...
		</table>
	</div>
	<h2>Third header</h2>
	<div>
		whatever else you like
	</div>
</div>

This means that you have to insert an HTML item below each header, double-click into it to get a text cursor, and then insert your content within that element.
