Using jQuery UI

Accordion heightStyle: "content" not working

in Using jQuery UI • 7 years ago

Following the API documentation here:

http://api.jqueryui.com/accordion/#option-heightStyle

I set "heightStyle" to "content" in an attempt to get all panels to re-size to their content. However, it's not working as you can see here:

http://thehighpriestess.github.io/staxteas/stixoi.html

...the first panel is taller than the content. It's the size of the taller second panel.

https://github.com/TheHighPriestess/staxteas/blob/master/stixoi.html

Does anyone have an idea what's going on here?

Thank you.

You can tell http://thehighpriestess.github.io/staxteas/stixoi.html is working properly because the copyright does not move.

If I delete some of the text from the panel beneath it...that white space disappears. Therefore, it can't be working properly.

If I delete text from the panel beneath it...the white space shrinks. Therefore, it must be taking on the size of the largest panel.

Make a demo that shows it not working.

It doesn't work and I have explained what's happening.

It is taking on the height of the tallest panel. If I remove text from the second panel the white space in the first panel SHRINKS. If I add text that white space GROWS.

You would have to destroy the accordion and remake it. Or possibly remove heightStyle and re-add it.

I have already tried that.

The docs clearly state that with

heightStyle : "content"

"each panel will be only as tall as its content."

That's not what's happening. The first panel is TALLER than it's content. It is as tall as the content in the second panel. I verified that this is what's going on when I removed text from the second panel and saw the first panel shrink accordingly.

Therefore,

heightStyle: "content"

isn't doing what the docs say that it should be doing.

$( ".selector" ).accordion( "option", "heightStyle", "fill" );

The dynamic one is used when you need to change something in mid stream, like after you delete or add text…

$( … ).accordion( "option", "heightStyle", "auto" ).accordion( "option", "heightStyle", "content" )

Or if that doesn't work…

$( … ).accordion("destroy").accordion( your original options )

According the docs...what I have should work. I am not changing the text after the page has been loaded.

Btw, I Googled for this problem and saw that others were having the same trouble with the accordion. However, the solutions there don't apply to me. That's why I am asking here.

According to everything I've read...it should work as far as I can tell.

Your demo worked for me. You haven't shown anything that doesn't work.

You can try explaining again. But making a demo that shows the problem is best.

How exactly did it work for you? What do you mean when you say that it "worked"?

Re: Accordion heightStyle: "content" not working

Do you consider it "working" to have a heightStyle of "auto" even though "content" is specified?

Each div had the same height. Is it possible you are running an older version in your browser?

Each div had the same height.

They are exhibiting default behavior and taking on the size of the largest panel.

Everything is up to date.
