ejay,

Man I wanted to thank you! I had forgotten to put my doctype and xmlns stuff in place – I intended to get it put in there, but got to coding away and forgot, and well, after reading your reply, I looked, and sure enough, I hadn’t remembered to go back and put those tags in place.

A million thanks! =)

I have dealt with this issue successfully by setting the line-height of the toggle-able element to zero and having a div within that reverts the line-height back. A small gap remains, but it is tolerable.

id like to contribute… ive been crazzzy doing fixing this
table bug… wherein…

it does not totally display the accordion on
IE, wherein, it leave the height of the invisible
accordion contetnts to be visible in
a big white box….

so what i have found out was that
the html tag and the doctype must be in
xmlns…

not an ordinary tag…

add this so that the page is not
in quirky mode…

You often run into problems with hiding a number of rows in a table with the mootools accordion. The way around it is to group the rows into tbody’s rather than div’s and then turn the display of those tbody’s on and off. in my experience.

hope that helps.

Hello,

I believe the IE bug related to your demo page is the “Empty element bug”.

Examine this page:

http://www.howtocreate.co.uk/wrongWithIE/?chapter=Empty+Elements

I wish to indicate that you are misusing semantically table in that demo. Table should be for presenting tabular data, not for page layout or for formating (positioning).

Regards,
