Link to open jQuery Accordion

Question

I\'m trying to open an accordion div from an external link. I see the \"navigation: true\" option but I\'m not sure how to implement it. Do you give each div an id and call

Answer 1

The navigation option isn't for panel activation. It's for telling the user where they are.

Using simplified html code:

    

        
Services
        
More information about all of these services
    

    

        
About
        
About us
    

You put the unique ID in the Hyperlink in the title

Then the jQuery (simplified):

The "navigation : true" will enable you to go www.site.com/#about which makes the "about" panel selected. For activation, there are a couple of ways. Perhaps one way is to grab a query string and put it into the jQuery.

With C#

$("#accordion").accordion("activate", '<%= Request.QueryString["id"] %>');

With PHP

$("#accordion").accordion("activate", '');

Which will allow you to specify which panel to open by www.site.com?id=2
