I have a few quick questions about appear/fade effects within my spry tabbed panel. I have applied this effect so that when I click on one of my tabs, its corresponding content fades into view. However, the fade is choppy because sometimes the content flashes quickly into view at 100% before beginning its 0-100% fade. Is there a way to fix this? So that when I click a tab the content is always invisible initially before gradually fading into view? Maybe something with visibility: hidden until activated. Also, is there a way that when you click a tab, the previously opened tab’s content fades out prior to the newly clicked tab’s content fading in? Here’s the link I’ve been working on:

I am not a programmer, have tried search the adobe forums and can’t quite seem to find an answer to this. Perhaps I need to rethink my “design”…

There is one link on this page view and I’d like it to link to the tab Seneca Sport Horses under the Clinics content area.

BTW, I also am unable to open the download zip file for the Spry menu tutorial on this site — Vista says it’s invalid…

However, now I need to know how to also be able to add/delete/change menu options in the Spry menu from a single external file for the menu. Any help would be most appreciated.

Thank you

If you have top-level items that don’t have submenus, add a class to the opening <a> tag of such links, and create a new style rule to add the background image:

ul.MenuBarHorizontal a.withImage {
background-image:url(../images/Sprybg.jpg);
background-position:top left;
background-repeat:no-repeat;
}
