I'm trying to create a navigation menu that contains multiple level of organization. I'm building a nested jQuery UI Accordion that works great if all my content in the lowest level (deepest) nest of the accordion. The problem is that some elements will have content and a sub accordion. If I place some text in side the top accordion it looks great...but as soon as I wrap it in tags it breaks the nested accordion in that element
Here is a mockup of what I'm trying to get it to look like Photo Mockup
My current HTML
<div id="faqs-container" class="accordian">
<h3><a href="#">One</a></h3>
<div class="accordian">
I really want a list here!
<h3><a class=href="#">A</a></h3>
<div>
<ul>
<li>list</li>
<li>list</li>
<li>list</li>
</ul>
</div>
<h3><a href="#">B</a></h3>
<div>
<ul>
<li>list</li>
<li>list</li>
<li>list</li>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
<h3><a href="#">Two</a></h3>
<div class="accordian">
<ul>
<li>But They</li>
<li>Do Not</li>
<li>Work</li>
</ul>
<h3><a href="#">A2</a></h3>
<div>
<ul>
<li>list</li>
<li>list</li>
<li>list</li>
</ul>
</div>
<h3><a href="#">B2</a></h3>
<div>
<ul>
<li>list</li>
<li>list</li>
<li>list</li>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
</div>
Jquery
$("div.accordian").accordion({
autoHeight: false,
collapsible: true,
active: false
});
Running the code like this generates a good nested accordion for the first section but the second section renders incorrectly. It looks like jQuery starts grabbing the fist html element after the header to build the accordion.
I have specified the header option when calling accordian as follows
$("div.accordian").accordion({
autoHeight: false,
collapsible: true,
active: false,
header: 'h3'
});
This gets close to the desired effect. The list renders in the correct place but the nested accordion in the second section is non functional.
I have a Fiddle set up
This should work
<div id="faqs-container" class="accordian">
<h3><a href="#">One</a></h3>
<div class="accordian">
I really want a list here!
<h3><a class=href="#">A</a></h3>
<div>
<ul>
<li>list</li>
<li>list</li>
<li>list</li>
</ul>
</div>
<h3><a href="#">B</a></h3>
<div>
<ul>
<li>list</li>
<li>list</li>
<li>list</li>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
<h3><a href="#">Two</a></h3>
<div> <-- A Wrapper -->
<ul>
<li>But They</li>
<li>Do Not</li>
<li>Work</li>
</ul>
<div class="accordian">
<h3><a href="#">A2</a></h3>
<div>
<ul>
<li>list</li>
<li>list</li>
<li>list</li>
</ul>
</div>
<h3><a href="#">B2</a></h3>
<div>
<ul>
<li>list</li>
<li>list</li>
<li>list</li>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
Demo: Fiddle
For the tab Two
you need to create another wrapper element and place the ul
and child accordion
as its children
