Now even when I add or delete information, it's always fine. I set my content box height to “auto” and that took care of it. Now even when I add or delete information, it’s always fine.

Hi Tara,

I found that in my search as well, but I am not much of a coder – only a dreamweaver user – so I can’t figure out where that code they provided would go!

There’s some great info on starting with all of the panels closed (and some other good style tips I hadn’t seen before) on this page: http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/samples/accordion/AccordionSample.html#AllPanelsClosed

I found that setiing the height to -1 works to fit all the content too. I cannot, though, figure out how to set the widget so all the panels are closed when the page loads. Any help on that would be great! Gordon I am working on a site now and using the spry accordion for the first time. I found that setiing the height to -1 works to fit all the content too.

That's really excellent info -- it didn't even occur to me that it would work that way. In the couple I've made so far, I think I just lucked out having a long enough answer in the first panel that all the others work okay. Thanks, Dave! Wow, I hadn’t realized that!

An FAQ page is the perfect use for this tool. However, setting the height of the .AccordionPanelContent to 100% doesn't resize the content areas so that each panel displays all of its contents. Instead, the 100% setting sets the height of ALL content areas to match 100% of the height of the first panel. In other words, if the first FAQ answer is only 2 lines long and you set the height of the content area to 100%, then all of the other FAQ answers will only display the first 2 lines and the user will need to use a scroll bar to read the rest of the answer. You're better off picking a height you think matches most of your content areas, and letting the shorter answers just have extra white space at the bottom and the really long answers have a scroll bar to access all of the text.
