How to make a Bootstrap accordion collapse when clicking the header div?

Question

In a Bootstrap accordion, instead of requiring a click on the a text, I want to make it collapse when clicking anywhere in the panel-heading div.

Answer 1

All you need to do is to to use...

• data-toggle="collapse"
• data-target="#ElementToExpandOnClick"

...on the element you want to click to trigger the collapse/expand effect.

The element with data-toggle="collapse" will be the element to trigger the effect. The data-target attribute indicates the element that will expand when the effect is triggered.

Optionally you can set the data-parent if you want to create an accordion effect instead of independent collapsible, e.g.:

• data-parent="#accordion"

I would also add the following CSS to the elements with data-toggle="collapse" if they aren't tags, e.g.:

.panel-heading {
    cursor: pointer;
}

Here's a jsfiddle with the modified html from the Bootstrap 3 documentation.
