Did anyone ever find a solution to this IE flicker issue during animation? I’m using spry 1.6.1 with general dreamweaver accordion and everything works great in firefox and other browsers, but IE’s animation of the opening panels has a nasty flicker. It appears to open the full height of the longest panel then close and then open correctly. It does it so fast I cannot be certain yet.

The one thing i’ve added is the { useFixedPanelHeights: false } which allows me to have the height of each panel adjust to the content within each. But this flicker or blinking was happening even before I added this.

I’ve seen a lot of people asking about this issue, yet no one with any answers. Did everyone give up on this? Or did they find the answer and go on with their business?

thanks for your very interessting post.”Only problem is , of course, it renders funny in IE 6, but only from within the CMS. in other words, I can get the accordion to render fine in IE6 from a straight html file but from within the cms the accordion animation does not stop when it gets to the topâ€“it keeps reopening itself”.
I also think like John. keep on it.

Thanks for this spry framework help. I am using the straight dreamweaver accordion to keep things simple for my CMS user community. I this the only accordion code I found that does no interfere with my CMS’s javascrript driven menu structure that exists on every page. Only problem is , of course, it renders funny in IE 6, but only from within the CMS. in other words, I can get the accordion to render fine in IE6 from a straight html file but from within the cms the accordion animation does not stop when it gets to the top–it keeps reopening itself. i tries using your first step of using the external file and the utils file,hoping there might be some solution here, but there was not. Any suggestions on how to correct for this?
