scripty accordian?

Freeway
1

Evening,

I know this is probably a simple solution…

here is the page:

http://www.grassrootsweb.net/energy/greener,greaterb.html

if you see where it says:

Council Bill No. 564-A

and there are 2 HTML boxes underneith. is there any way of doing a scripty accordian like effect with them so that if someone clicked on the title Council Bill No. 564-A

the wording will drop down in the 2 boxes

So we also can still have the borders of the title and the boxes?

Thank you

Julie

Hi Julie,

I did this once to keep text content more compact on this example:

http://www.kimmich-dm.de/ecom/agbs.php

I did this using moo: accordion.

You can have all content you want either in the headline-tab or in the content itself like images.

Scripty accordion will do the same job for sure. I use moo cause it has more options to have smooth sliding what I actually miss in scripty accordion.

Thomas,

Thank you for your examples.

I guess my question is how to do the borders and the 2 boxes / column look.

When I go through the scripty accordian directions… I dont see how to have a border around the interior information and the title seperatly.

In addition, they would be in seperate html boxes - or do you put the wording in a graphic box?

the page I am looking at is:

http://www.grassrootsweb.net/energy/greenergreaterbu.html

I would like to have the headline in the border and the words drop underneath in boxes - so that the info is seperated in two columns.
I know its probably simple… but I can not get my head around it.

Hi Julie,

it sounds simple but why not add the border to your html-boxes via inspector?

In some cases it might be that you should give the tab-box for example the frame only left, upper, and right via edit button. The lower frame will be the text-content and in there just the upper one.

Sounds logic? Hope so.

Ok
so put borders on all 3 html boxes.

That is easy but how then do you also get the accordion to work and drop the html boxes down from the other “headline” HTML box.

Have a look here:

http://scripty.walterdavisstudio.com/multi

Getting the boxes around your headers will require you to make some
extra CSS styles, probably using the Extended dialog for some of this,
but it’s all very do-able.

There is also an example on the Softpress site using only the built-in
FX Actions to create an Accordion. You should probably look at that
for another way to do this that might fit your style a little better.

I made ScriptyAccordion in response to that example, because I felt
that it was too tweaky and made it too hard to do the very simple “One
Element Open At A Time” Accordion that many people want.

The overwhelming benefit of doing things the Softpress way, though, is
that you have complete control over each element in the effect,
because you’re working entirely with things you draw in the Freeway
interface, not with CSS styles applied to elements through the cascade.

The only thing you will find insanely hard about the Softpress method
(except for the mouse button fatigue of clicking on each element and
setting behavior separately) is getting all the other elements to
close when you click on a new header.

Thank you Walter,

I love your scripty I use it all the time.

I will play around with the CSS styles as well as the softpress one and let you know how I made out.
