Customize the Collapsible Panel widget

Although the Property inspector enables you to make simple edits to a Collapsible Panel widget, it does not support
customized styling tasks. You can alter the CSS for the Collapsible Panel widget and create a collapsible panel that is
styled to your liking. For a more advanced list of styling tasks, see

www.adobe.com/go/learn_dw_sprycollapsiblepanel_custom

.

All CSS rules in the topics below refer to the default rules located in the SpryCollapsiblePanel.css file. Dreamweaver
saves the SpryCollapsiblePanel.css file in the SpryAssets folder of your site whenever you create a Spry Collapsible
Panel widget. This file also contains useful commented information about various styles that apply to the widget.

While you can easily edit rules for the Collapsible Panel widget directly in the accompanying CSS file, you can also
use the CSS Styles panel to edit the collapsible panel’s CSS. The CSS Styles panel is helpful for locating the CSS classes

assigned to different parts of the widget, especially if you use the panel’s Current mode.
