Collapsible Panel close function.

[DaSe]

Hi guys,
I just wonder why I can't get this simple script working...
I have a link ( anchor ) on a collapsible panel so when I click on it I don't want the panel to be opened but remain close ,however none of these functions work. Do you have any idea why ? Regards.

-----------------------

<a href="...." onClick="CollapsiblePanel1.close();">Register</a>
------------------------

what collapsible panel? can we see the code? Or are we supposed to guess what at what you are using?

Also how do you know the collapsible panel has a function named close()? If it does what does this function do?

We need more information. Is this collapsible panel is form some type of framework? If so which one?

Hi.Ok here are the details:

It's a simple Spry collaspsible panel.
------------------------------------------
<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
var CollapsiblePanel1 = new Spry.Widget.CollapsiblePanel("CollapsiblePanel1", {contentIsOpen:false});
//-->
</script>
------------------------------------------

Looking at the Spry explanation yes using the .close() function should indeed close the panel.

Provided your panel's name is actually CollapsiblePanel1.

And the location of your link has access to the CollapsiblePanel1 object.

You may find this example useful:

Perhaps someone who has worked more with Spry can help out more, as I am not very familiar with Spry.

Hi

Are you sure your problem is not that after [tt]close()[/tt]ing the panel successfully the browser follows the link and reloads the document with the panel's default state ?

Note that I know nothing about Spry.
