I know you're busy, so no worries if you can't reply, but I have another query to add to the list: is it possible to link, from an external page, to a tab that is nested within another tab? I have a photography website, in which some vertical tabbed panels are nested within horizontal ones. I don't seem able to link directly to the vertical ones. Thanks in advance for your help, Yours, Seth Lazar Dear David,

I have a slightly different model than yours though - I only have one type of Spry widgets on my page: a stack of collapsible panels. Each one has a link or links in the content. The panels are set to be closed by default. However, I want to over-ride this when a user opens a panel, and clicks on a link. At the moment, the next page comes up with all the panels closed again. Is there a way round this (without disrupting my aesthetically pleasing closed nav bar when my site initially loads)? Ps - I'm only running the site locally, so I can't provide an example of my code without emailing it to you. Anyone else know how to do this? Thanks, Jessica Hi David - great tutorial, thanks.

The SpryURLUtils.js tutorials, I have found only seem to deal with Accordians or tabbed panels, but the same solution for those, do not work for collapsible panels. I am tryin to link to another page, open a particular collapsible panel and display the information. I have one other aspect I would be very happy if working, once I got that part of the href to work, and it would be then activating a partuclar link in an unordered list, in that targeted collapsible panel, in order to display the proper HTML gfrgment in the SpryHTML panel I have in each collapsible panel.

Very useful stuff. I have one question that is somewhat along the same lines as #5 above, and that is, is it possible to open up a collapsed panel when linking to it from another page? So essentially passing the contentIsOpen variable thru the query string (link). Any ideas? Thanks again. David, thanks for this site and the great tutorials. Very useful stuff.

I'm up to my eyeballs working on a couple of books at the moment, so it's not something I'll have time to look at in the near future. Sorry. @Joshua: A lot of Spry is a mystery :( . I'm visiting the Dreamweaver team in California next month, when I hope they might sprinkle some magic dust of understanding on me. @Emile: This should definitely be possible with Spry/Ajax, but I don’t have any quick, easy solutions.
