Pushing and pulling widgets Part 2

Axure RP 8
1

This is really starting to do my head in.

I’ve got a DP that changes states. The second state is deeper than the first so I want all the content to move down the page when the DP opens. I’ve tried everything I can think of but the content just sits there.

I’ve got another interaction that pushes and pulls the footer depending on the state of a panel and that works perfectly.

Is there a tutorial on pushing and pulling widgets? Are there rules that must be followed?

But maybe if you share your RP file, or give us screen shots, we could better answer your question?

Hi

DP’s can be a nightmare when it comes to pushing and pulling, particularly if they are nested or if your second state is deeper than your first state. In the past I’ve set an action to move other content by a set amount when the DP’s state changes / opens / closes. Not very swish, I’m afraid but it is a solution of sorts.

Thanks guys

I’d share it if I could but I’m contracting under NDA which is why I was looking for a tutorial as a first port of call.

I think I’ve sussed it though. One of the DPs I was trying to push was slightly higher than the DP containing the button that does the pushing. I’ve moved things round and it seems to be working now.
