• Please post questions to the jQuery UI discussion list, putting [accordion] into the subject of your post, making it easier to spot it and respond quickly.
• Please post bug reports and other contributions (enhancements, features) to the jQuery bug tracker (requires registration). Please put [accordion] into the title of a ticket.

@Stephan: Thats fixed in the latest revision.

@Martin: I can’t reproduce the issue you describe, could you check it again with the latest revision, or post a testpage?

@Paul: This sounds like it is related to the issue where anchors within content elements didn’t work, that is now fixed.

@Tom: The flash of content may be caused by something else delaying execution of the accordion script. Can’t say much about that without a testpage.

@Derik, Dustin, Mike: Fixed in latest revision. Links now work just fine within content elements.

@Santiago: You could try the different wmode options.

@Domenico: Give the clearStyle:true option a try. If that doesn’t help, please provide a standalone testpage. I can’t find your accordion-init code on that page.

@Phil: Using the latest revision, specify event: false or null/undefined.

@Andrew, Watsei: No, header links are not supported and won’t be. If you need that, add your own logic, eg. bind a click event.

@Djoh: You can hide the whole menu via CSS and show it once loaded via jQuery.

@Chuck: That option was added after the 1.5 release. Give the latest revision a try – or the current release at your time of reading this.

@David: Could you provide a testpage instead of pasting copied demo code?

@stoyan: While the documentation says that the animated option accepts a boolean, it only accepts a boolean false. Or a string specifying an animation type.

@Andrej: Didn’t quite get the issue, seems to work ok.

@Charlie: Multi-level accordions work in the latest revision with autoheight:false and clearStyle:true.

@christophe: An early version of the plugin supported that, but it wasn’t worth the trouble. You have to stick with a single dd and nest your content inside it.

@Alexander: Please give the latest revision a try. There are quite a few related issues fixed.

@Levi: Give clearStyle:true a try. Or disable animations (animated:false) if it doesn’t help.

@Jose: Please give the latest revision a try and set autoheight:false and clearStyle:true to get the nested accordions to work.

@Debbie: You may want to start with some jQuery basics first.

@Robin: Please give the latest revision/version a try.

@Brent: Take a look at the demo page, the second example (“Navigation”).

@Nick: Hiding stuff using CSS should help – its applied before the JS.

@Paul: Looks like you need a tree, not an accordion.

@Andrés: The speed option was replaced by the animated-option. Specifying custom speeds is a bit more complicated, but much easier to use once setup. Take a look at the implementations of bounceslide and easeslide for a reference:

$.extend($.ui.accordion, {
	bounceslide: function(options) {
		this.slide(options, {
			easing: options.down ? "bounceout" : "swing",
			duration: options.down ? 1000 : 200
		});
	},
	easeslide: function(options) {
		this.slide(options, {
			easing: "easeinout",
			duration: 700
		})
	}
});

@Designern01: See the previous answer. You need to provide a custom animation “specification”. In this case, a custom easing which provides the close-first-then-open behaviour. You may want to take a look at jQuery’s animation API first.

@Per: As noted before, that isn’t what this plugin is about.

I’m having some trouble making the “speed” attribute to work…could you please put a more advenced example of a menu that uses it?

I change its values but I do not see any difference in the menu’s behaviour. I’m working with IE7 and Firefox.

Thank you very much and best regards, Andrés.

its a 3 tired nav based on http://www.bluescap.com/nst/test2.php
from Torgil

i can keep my selection active.
i have looked at the active and activate thing, but i dont understand it.
i tried putting

jQuery('.level1').Accordion.activate('3');
jQuery('.level2').Accordion.activate('1');
jQuery('.level3').Accordion.activate('1');


in the page that is calling the include but that dosnt work.
but the nav gets reloaded every page link.. and dosnt keep its active state..

Open http://www.bestpaintstore.com in IE for an example of this awkward explosion.

thanks

I’m having problems with the accordion in IE6/7 on PC. When rolling over the ‘merchandise’ links on the right-hand side of this page – http://www.jazzpublishing.co.uk/new_merch_nav/ – the whole column seems to be flickering as if the sub-elements of the accordion are visible for a fraction of a second. Any ideas what could be causing this?

Thanks,
Robin
