[Pro] Tabs Area Action

Hi All

I am playing with the Tabs Area demo file from SP Towers and it is giving me some grief.

If you click through the tabs on this page http://deltadzine.net/allander/ - you will see that each successive tab increases the distance between the tab buttons and the Tab Area below.

Any ideas why this is happening?

Still stuck with this one - anybody any ideas?

I have moved the dodgy page to http://deltadzine.net/allander/index2.html

Anybody got a clue - Joe?

Hi Dave,

I’m not really too sure to be honest, this Action has always been a
bit temperamental. Perhaps if Paul D is around he might be able to
help out, failing that, send your file into us at support and we’ll
gladly take a look at it for you.

For anybody following this and having a similar problem Joe suggests that the action uses visibility:hidden to hide the tabs which means they are still there, just not visibile. It should be using display:none instead which completely removes the element from the DOM.

The action was written by Paul D (on holiday) and is encrypted so it looks like that I will have to wait until his return for a solution.

Thanks for your time on this Joe.

Now that you are back from your Hols Paul can you have a look at this one and see whats up.

Found the answer, at least for my incarnation of this problem. I had set a “padding” for my HTML panels that would be tabbed. Once I set the padding to zero for each of those HTML items, the tabbed panels no longer crept down. It seems that browsers (Safari and IE7 at least) will process the padding even though the div is hidden.

I figured this out using Safari’s “View Element” feature. When I selected one of the supposedly hidden divs in the viewer, it highlighted an area on the screen that was basically a box of my padding setting.

This doesn’t seem to be a Freeway bug, but instead a quirk of web browsers?
