Accordion control for .net 3.5 sp1 is broken?

[Andy B]

I am trying to use an accordion control from the ajax control toolkit for
..net3.5 sp1. When I put a link in one of the accordion pannel
headerTemplates to open and close the content, I always get an "index of /"
page that shows the files and folders in the folder the current page is in.
The link looks like this: <a href="">Open/close test</aAny idea why this
happens and how to fix it?

Can u post your accordion code?
will be much clearer to figure out...

tks..

Yea I know. I don't want this to load a new page, I just want it to
open/close the content of the pannel. The old versions of the control have
<a href="">blah</afor opening/closing the pannel. What kind of URl would I
put in the href= section if the entire control is bound to a resultset from
a database? More direction would be helpful here.

hhmm i think i got it...

maybe <a href="#">blah</a>, but it will reload the page...

try to do it without the link... just plain text...

<HeaderTemplates>

<%#Eval("Title")%>

</HeaderTemplates>
I gotta check it at home... but i think the Accordion creates the open/close
statements by itself...

This is now fixed. I had to do the following to get it to work:

1. In the HeaderTemplate, use a # for the url of the link. This is a code
telling the accordion control to open/close the pannels.
2. Set the SuppressHeadersPostback property to true. This stops the page
from reloading all the time.

There is still a bug in the control where setting some properties like
RequireOpenPane and SuppressHeaderPostback will create an accordion_extender
control and insert it into the accordion control source. This results in an
error 'The control Accordion1 doesn't have a public property
'accordion_extender''. Moving the accordion_extender control outside of the
accordion control results in a parse error: 'Only 1 control with the ID
'accordion_extender1' can exist on the page at a time...'. Totally deleting
the extender from the aspx source fixes the problems with the "extender
properties". I think this is a bug and should be fixed somehow.
