MooTools Accordion: Mouseover Style

Discussion

1. Michael

   Thanks David.

   I was just contemplating the mooTools accordian for one of my projects at hand.
   You’ve out-slicked yourself with this offering. Thanks for this post.

   I have been trying to get this to work for weeks now!
   When I finally typed in the magic right text to Google up this page – it worked in seconds!
   Many thanks
   I wish it had been easier to find though, I have ben on this site for ages and missed it…
   ..perhaps it wasn’t there yet though!

   Brilliant.. Phew.

   now I have the next problem to fix!

   Hey there!

   i’ve just got my head around mootools (i’m a php developer, not a miracle worker, jim) and i was wondering if anyone had tried tinkering with the transition/tween fx to get the bounce effect on the open/close tabs.

   also if anyone could develop a real-life ctl+z so i can undo the above obscure star trek reference, that’d be great.

   Nice trick, I was about to hack the source code when I ran across this. Thanks.

   Thanks for the tip. Any way of making it close automatically once the mouse moves away from the toggler?
9. Joe

   I figured it out. It’s not a js issue, it was a css issue. For those who want to know: I just forgot to make the ‘a class’ names truly unique. For example, by having more than one ‘class=”subpg_c” it highlight all these ‘li’ tags in 3 places at once. Sorry for the long post. I thought the code might show up in a separate window rather than in the post. ;) keep up the great site!

    Thanks! Not being a programmer your tutorials have helped me use mootools and add excitement to my Web site. Is there a way to set the height. I’m doing something similar to what Apple did with scriptaculous. Thanks again, you’ve been a great help.

    I had one heck of a time getting the accordion to work where if you click it, it opens, if you click it again, it closes, if your mouse leaves the element, it closes.

    <div class="toggler">Click Me
      <div class="element>
         <ul>
           <li>Showing</li>
           <li>Showing Again</li>
         </ul>
       </div>
    </div>
    

    window.addEvent('domready', function() {
    var accordion = new Accordion($$('.toggler'),$$('.element'), {
        display: -1, 
        opacity: 0,
        openClose: true,
        alwaysHide: true
            });
        });
    $$('.element').addEvent('mouseleave', function(){ this.parentNode.fireEvent('click'); });

    Thank you for the mouseover code on the accordian. I feel this is slightly easier and more intuitive than the click for the general public to use on the website. This has saved me a huge amount of work and will improve the look of the site. Wish I could have written it!

    $$('.toggler').addEvent('mouseenter', function() { this.fireEvent('click'); });

    Good work on that

    Hi!

    I am trying to make mootools good working with IE using you’re example for first…

    but the result is http://www.voilagesdesign.fr/test

    I use the latest realease of mootools but I’d try first with 1.2 and the result is the same…

    any idea?

    thanks for your website david, it is very enriching!

    Perhaps you should add a notice that there is a accordion option called “trigger” which should do exactly what is done with your workaround. Sadly mootools implemented options which doesnt take effect.

    The more im working with mootools the more i miss jQuery. Easier to use and more docs / demos / plugins.

  yep, the “hover” event is called “mouseover” ;)

    i couldn’t find it even in mootools. You’re the man, thank’s a lot!!!

    Hey there.

    I use the mootools accordion for my website. But i just want to add a simple property. I’d like to have an accordion that opens 1 or 2 seconds after opens the website. How do i realize that? I am not familiar with Javascript, so need help!

    Greets.

26. Joe

    was easy to implement. great plugin.

    but.. I’m having trouble with .elements top and bottom borders. I can’t get them to display. The left and right borders show fine. Any advice?
27. Oliver

    Looks great, does anyone know how to have it automatically close on mouse out? I’ll pay for someone to change the code so it closes on mouse out?
• Flor

  I have the same question.
