[jQuery] Re: Best (lightest) Accordian Menu PlugIn

2007-08-02 Thread Jack Killpatrick


A... that would explain why it was so hard to find... :-) . Well, it 
worked well for what I'm using it for, so thanks much. The height change 
sounds good, too. In my case it would be nice to be able to make one or 
two of the tabs a different height than the rest. I'm not concerned 
about overall height staying constantbut I also wouldn't want the 
whole thing to flash closed then recalculating the new outer height, 
either. Seems like that would lead to the flickering weirdness that 
other ones have (but I haven't poked into what the reason with that 
isI know there's an active thread about it...and another accordion 
that John made a demo of).


I didn't notice a bug...what's the bug? I'm using jquery 1.1.2 with it.

simple as possible.

I've looked and tried a number of others, but all seemed a bit ragged or
had something about them that I didn't like or didn't fit my need, which
was for a very lightweight control with a reasonable amount of

2007-08-02 Thread Justin Sepulveda

You'll notice in my example, the 4th tab jumps up just a bit when you
click on any of the tabs.  If you slow the speed down you'll notice it
more.  It's not a huge deal, but it can become annoying the more you
focus on it :-)

I just caught his new thread this morning.  It fixes the issue I was
talking about.  I've implemented it into a new slider.  I'll have it
up soon.  However you'll be stuck with each tab being the same height
with this method.  It's the only way to get it this smooth.  If you
don't mind the slight bump and/or want it to feel more like an
accordion, then you can stick with what I already have up.

I have been using the one from Adobe (SPRY) and while its very flexible, it
takes a lot of JS and its slow when there are a lot of menu items. 


What happens to mine is when you first load the page the accordian appears
completely expanded. See

I'd appreciate any insights.

Thanks
