MooTools Accordion Sliding Incorrectly

My issue is that I am using nested accordions and the second accordion in my nested list will not push the outer div down. The nested accordion slides beneath the main div container.

Another way to put it, if i load the page, then click on "Meeting 2" it accordions correctly. But when i click on "Task 2.1", that accordion for that section opens, but hides behind the containing div. Now if I then click "Meeting 1", everything opens fine, and then if i click "Meeting 2" again, the contents of "Task 2.1" show correctly in full.

Any Ideas? Thanks for the help.

Here is some code i think may be useful.

Moo 1.2 used with this addEvent Javascript:

window.addEvent('domready', function() {
	var meetingAccordion = new Accordion($$('.meeting_toggler'),$$('.meeting_element'),{

		opacity: false,
		show : -1,

		onComplete:function(el){
			if(el.getSize().y>0){
				el.setStyle('height','auto');
			}
		},

		onBackground:function(toggler,el){
			el.setStyle('height',el.getSize().y);
		}

	});
	var taskAccordion = new Accordion($$('.task_toggler'),$$('.task_element'),{

		opacity: false,
		show : -1,

		onComplete:function(el){
			if(el.getSize().y>0){
				el.setStyle('height','auto');
			}
		},

		onBackground:function(toggler,el){
			el.setStyle('height',el.getSize().y);
		}

	});

});

Code (markup):

	<div class="meeting_element">

erm. odd. never liked accordion.js - the problem seems to be that it constantly resetting the height and overflow

try overriding it - add some debugging on the onComplete for the tasks...

        onComplete:function(el){
            console.log(el, el.getParent());
            // if(el.getSize().y>0){
            el.getParent().setStyles({
                overflow: "none",
                height: "auto"
            });
            
        },

PHP:

it's gonna be easier to code this by hand tbh. 30 min job tops...

 

thanks Dimitar but it didn't fix anything

 

its not a fix, it is just a way for you to monitor how/when accordion resets the height of elements so that you can override it.

this is the official mootools support mail list. post there if you are looking for a solution. i built your accordion locally and was not able to fix it within 15 mins so i gave up, sorry - no time.
