jQuery Vallenato Accordion

I am just learning a little bit about jQuery and I came across this accordion script:
$(document).ready(function()
{
//Add Inactive Class To All Accordion Headers
$('.accordion-header').toggleClass('inactive-header');
//Set The Accordion Content Width
var contentwidth = $('.accordion-header').width();
$('.accordion-content').css({'width' : contentwidth });
//Open The First Accordion Section When Page Loads
$('.accordion-header').first().toggleClass('active- header').toggleClass('inactive-header');
$('.accordion-content').first().slideDown().toggleClass('open-content');
// The Accordion Effect
$('.accordion-header').click(function () {
if($(this).is('.inactive-header')) {
$('.active-header').toggleClass('active-header').toggleClass('inactive-header').next().slideToggle().toggleClass('open-content');
$(this).toggleClass('active-header').toggleClass('inactive-header');
$(this).next().slideToggle().toggleClass('open-content');
}
else {
$(this).toggleClass('active-header').toggleClass('inactive-header');
$(this).next().slideToggle().toggleClass('open-content');
}
});
return false;
});
I really like this version of a jquery accordion but I want to add a feature so that the accordion height is only so large and then the content will have a scroll bar. There's an example on the jquery UI site, but their script is quite a bit different. Can anyone help?

The best way to customize it is by using CSS, you can easily find references for increasing height and removing the scroll button. Try www.w3schools.com

Have you tried giving .accordian-content no height, but a "max-height: ..." and then make "overflow: scroll"?
For instance, try changing
$('.accordion-content').css({'width' : contentwidth });
to
$('.accordian-content').css({'width' : contentwidth, 'max-height' : '...', 'overflow' : 'scroll'});

jQuery Remain at the top of an open collapsible table row when clicked

In an ideal world i didn't want to use a table for this but it proved ideal for the layout for such an intense data table. Anyhow, when the user clicks on the a header of a section i want the windwo to remain at the top of that section and not at the bottom of the section that is now opened. The javascript i have in there currently is:
$(document).ready(function () {
$('tr.parent').next('tr.child').hide();
$('a.toggle').on('click', function (e) {
e.preventDefault();
var $this = $(this),
$child = $this.closest('tr.parent').next('tr.child');
$this.closest('tr.parent').siblings('tr.child').not($child).hide();
$child.toggle();
})
});
I've created a Fiddle Here so you can see the html table opening/closing with the javascript, but just need help on how to keep the content to scroll to the top of that header/section when clicked on and opened.
http://jsfiddle.net/aaronblomberg/jtu49v22/
thanks in advance! a fiddle example back would be ideal!

Here's an animated scroll that would get you started:
$('a.toggle').on('click', function (e) {
e.preventDefault();
var $this = $(this),
$child = $this.closest('tr.parent').next('tr.child');
$this.closest('tr.parent').siblings('tr.child').not($child).hide();
$child.toggle();
// scroll heading to page top with arbitrary 60px difference
var top = $this.offset().top -60;
$('html,body').animate({scrollTop: top})
});

Add pixels to existing CSS element with Javascript

here is my trouble.
I'm using a plugin for a lightbox. For some reason, one of the divs is 28px too short. I've looked all over for a solution for this, but nobody seems to be having the same problem.
The solution I've come up with is to find that element (which I have) and create a javascript snippet that will add "28" to the existing number. The height and width is being calculated directly on the div, not in an element in a stylesheet.
Example:
<div id="colorbox" class="" style="padding-bottom: 57px; padding-right: 28px; position: absolute; width: 892px; height: 602px; top: 2234px; left: 500px;">
I want the Javascript code to add 28 pixels to the width and 55px to the height.
How would I go about doing this?
I would like to say that I'm not looking for just an answer; if you could explain it to me, that would be great. Thanks so much, guys!
Edit: this is how I called the JQuery
Also, this is where you can see the page with the gallery: http://olsencustomhomes.com.previewdns.com/designs/verona-2/#gallery
EDIT FOR KRIS:
Is this the right code? It's in my header
<script>
$(document).ready(function() {
function changeSize(){
var colorbox = $("#colorbox");
var initWidth = $("#colorbox").outerWidth(); // get colorbox width
var initHeight = $("#colorbox").outerHeight(); // get colorbox height
var newWidth = 28; // set your desired width
var newHeight = 55; // set your desired height
var height = initHeight + newHeight; // add heights together
var width = initWidth + newWidth; // add widths together
colorbox.css({"height" : height, "width": width});
}
$(document).ajaxStop(function() {
changeSize();
});
});
</script>

Pretty straightforward application of jQuery, but I commented it up for you anyway:
//select the box element using jQuery
var box = $('#colorbox');
//get the current width and height
var curWidth = box.width();
var curHeight = box.height();
//set the width and height with modified values
box.width(curWidth + 28);
box.height(curHeight + 55);
fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/579s2/

If you want to add height and width dynamically. Something like this should work:
function changeSize(){
var colorbox = $("#colorbox");
var initWidth = $("#colorbox").outerWidth(); // get colorbox width
var initHeight = $("#colorbox").outerHeight(); // get colorbox height
var newWidth = 28; // set your desired width
var newHeight = 55; // set your desired height
var height = initHeight + newHeight; // add heights together
var width = initWidth + newWidth; // add widths together
colorbox.css({"height" : height, "width": width});
}changeSize();
Also if you want to insure your code is happens after the colorbox opens you could use .ajaxStop(); Also note, outerWidht() and outerHeight() will get colorbox width plus the padding and borders.
To fire function after ajax events are finished:
$(document).ajaxStop(function() {
changeSize();
});
Update:
Okay, it looks the function fires initially. You can see width is null because the colorbox has not opened. What you want to do is fire the function after the colorbox opens. That is where ajaxStop() would come into play. But it might actually be better to use the colorbox callback function:
But not after the colorbox opens. So try doing the ajaxStop() approach. Also note, if you do this you will need to remove changeSize(); after function changeSize() For example:
$(document).ready(function() {
function changeSize(){
// function stuff
}
$(document).ajaxStop(function() {
changeSize();
});
});
Or, Colorbox OnComplete:
$(".selector").colorbox({
onComplete:function(){
changeSize();
}
});
Update 2:
I am not sure where you are calling colorbox exactly. But I see you have this: Found here
jQuery(function($){
$('#wpsimplegallery a').colorbox({
maxWidth: '85%',
maxHeight: '85%'
});
});
So try:
jQuery(function($){
$('#wpsimplegallery a').colorbox({
maxWidth: '85%',
maxHeight: '85%',
onComplete:function(){
changeSize();
}
});
});

Smooth jScrollPane scrollbar length adjustment with dynamic content

Some of my webpages contain several text elements that expand and collapse with a jQuery "accordion" effect:
function show_panel(num) {
jQuery('div.panel').hide();
jQuery('#a' + num).slideToggle("slow");
}
function hide_panel(num) {
jQuery('div.panel').show();
jQuery('#a' + num).slideToggle("slow");
}
This causes the window size to change so jScrollPane has to be reinitialized, which will also change the length of the scrollbar. To achieve a smooth length adjustment of the scrollbar, I set the "autoReinitialise" option to "true" and the "autoReinitialiseDelay" to "40" ms:
$(document).ready(function () {
var win = $(window);
// Full body scroll
var isResizing = false;
win.bind(
'resize',
function () {
if (!isResizing) {
isResizing = true;
var container = $('#content');
// Temporarily make the container tiny so it doesn't influence the
// calculation of the size of the document
container.css({
'width': 1,
'height': 1
});
// Now make it the size of the window...
container.css({
'width': win.width(),
'height': win.height()
});
isResizing = false;
container.jScrollPane({
showArrows: false,
autoReinitialise: true,
autoReinitialiseDelay: 40
});
}
}).trigger('resize');
// Workaround for known Opera issue which breaks demo (see
// http://jscrollpane.kelvinluck.com/known_issues.html#opera-scrollbar )
$('body').css('overflow', 'hidden');
// IE calculates the width incorrectly first time round (it
// doesn't count the space used by the native scrollbar) so
// we re-trigger if necessary.
if ($('#content').width() != win.width()) {
win.trigger('resize');
}
});
The effect is ok, but on the cost of a very high CPU usage which makes my fan go wild.
This is a jsfiddle which shows the settings and the effect: http://jsfiddle.net/VVxVz/
Here's an example page (in fact it's an iframe within the webpage shown): http://www.sicily-cottage.net/zagaraenausfluege.htm
Is there a possibility to achieve the same "smooth" transition of the scrollbar length without using the "autoReinitialise" option, maybe with an additional script, some modification of the jscrollpane.js, or simply a css animation of the scrollbar and then calling the reinitialise manually?
I'm absolutely useless at javascript so any help would be greatly appreciated.

There is no need to initialise jScrollPane on your content everytime window is resized. You should do it only once - on $(document).ready(). Also, there is no need in using autoReinitialize if your content is staic. You should reinitialise jScrollPane to update scrollbar size only when you slideUp/slideDown one of your container or on window.resize. So, code become less and more beautiful :)
function togglePanel(num) {
var jsp = $('#content').data('jsp');
jQuery('#a' + num).slideToggle({
"duration": "slow",
"step": function(){
jsp.reinitialise();
}
});
return false;
}
$(document).ready(function () {
var container = $('#content').jScrollPane({
showArrows: false,
autoReinitialise: false
});
var jsp = container.data('jsp');
$(window).on('resize', function(){
jsp.reinitialise();
});
// Workaround for known Opera issue which breaks demo (see
// http://jscrollpane.kelvinluck.com/known_issues.html#opera-scrollbar )
$('body').css('overflow', 'hidden');
// IE calculates the width incorrectly first time round (it
// doesn't count the space used by the native scrollbar) so
// we re-trigger if necessary.
if (container.width() != $(window).width()) {
jsp.reinitialise();
}
});

Change div height with buttons

I need some scripting like the TYPO3 extension / module that runs on this site : http://nyati-safari.dk/index.php?id=125 (Scroll to: Detaljeret Dagsprogram (inkluderet)).
The div is shown with a pixelspecific height and when the arrow is clicked the div changes to contentspecific height also the arrow changes when the div toggles.

Do this:
var div = $('#div');
$('#arrow').click(function () {
if (div.height() == 100) {
autoHeight = div.css('height', 'auto').height();
div.height(100).animate({
height: autoHeight
}, 500);
} else {
$('#div').animate({
height: '100'
}, 500);
}
});
JSFiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/ZG8ug/5/
Can even do something like this: http://jsfiddle.net/ZG8ug/6/ where the 'hidden' div is small on page load but when viewed and returned it is bigger. Might be useful to help users distinguish what has already been viewed. Could even do it the other way around too so the div takes up even less space when it has been viewed.
