Glossy accordion menu open automatically

[ypadill2]

1) Script Title: Glossy accordion menu

2) Script URL (on DD): http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamici...ordionmenu.htm

3) Describe problem: I will like to have the menu open up imediatly when the page opens without having to click on the menu. I have two submenus and would like the first one to open up, I cant figure out what to do, I really appreciate all the help.

There is a defaultexpanded paramter in the ddaccordian.init function. You just need to set that.

Here is the example on the script's page. Notice the highlighted part.

ddaccordion.init({ //top level headers initialization
	headerclass: "expandable", //Shared CSS class name of headers group that are expandable
	contentclass: "categoryitems", //Shared CSS class name of contents group
	collapseprev: true, //Collapse previous content (so only one open at any time)? true/false 
	defaultexpanded: [0], //index of content(s) open by default [index1, index2, etc]. [] denotes no content
	animatedefault: false, //Should contents open by default be animated into view?
	persiststate: true, //persist state of opened contents within browser session?
	toggleclass: ["", "openheader"], //Two CSS classes to be applied to the header when it's collapsed and expanded, respectively ["class1", "class2"]
	togglehtml: ["prefix", "", ""], //Additional HTML added to the header when it's collapsed and expanded, respectively  ["position", "html1", "html2"] (see docs)
	animatespeed: "normal", //speed of animation: "fast", "normal", or "slow"
	oninit:function(headers, expandedindices){ //custom code to run when headers have initalized
		//do nothing
	},
	onopenclose:function(header, index, state, isclicked){ //custom code to run whenever a header is opened or closed
		//do nothing
	}
})

Yes I see that and I tried setting it to 0 and submenu this is for the glossy menu but nothing happens. The menu drops down in all the other pages once i have cliked one open. But it does not open automatically when the page is loaded to a new browser page. Thanks for the help.


my code looks like this

ddaccordion.init({
	headerclass: "submenuheader", //Shared CSS class name of headers group
	contentclass: "submenu", //Shared CSS class name of contents group
	collapseprev: true, //Collapse previous content (so only one open at any time)? true/false 
	defaultexpanded: [], //index of content(s) open by default [index1, index2, etc] [] denotes no content
	animatedefault:true, //Should contents open by default be animated into view?
	persiststate: true, //persist state of opened contents within browser session?
	toggleclass: ["", "selected"], //Two CSS classes to be applied to the header when it's collapsed and expanded, respectively ["class1", "class2"]
	togglehtml: ["suffix","<img src='images/plus.gif' class='statusicon' />", "<img src='images/minus.gif' class='statusicon' />"], //Additional HTML added to the header when it's collapsed and expanded, respectively  ["position", "html1", "html2"] (see docs)
	animatespeed: "normal", //speed of animation: "fast", "normal", or "slow"
	ooninit:function(headers, expandedindices){ //custom code to run when headers have initalized
 myiframe=window.frames["myiframe"] //reference and cache iframe to populate
 var lastexpandedindex=expandedindices.pop() //get last index within array
 myiframe.location.replace(headers[lastexpandedindex].getAttribute('title')) //load page associated with expanded header
},
onopenclose:function(header, index, state, isclicked){ //custom code to run whenever a header is opened or closed
 if (state=="block" && isclicked==true){ //if header is expanded and as the result of the user clicking on it
  myiframe.location.replace(header.getAttribute('title'))
 }
}
})

Im sorry I need to be more specific, well it works in IE but not in Firefox when i set it to 0.

Hmmm I'll need to see the problem pagePlease post a link to the page on your site that contains the problematic script so we can check it out.

Try upgrading to the latest version of ddaccordion.js Just go to the script page and replace your current .js file with the most recent ddaccordion.js That should fix the default open issue in FF.

I did that, i replaced the js file but it still does not want to expand automatically in firefox, Do i need to set the defaultexpanded: [] to something else besides 0 in order for it to work?
