I\'m trying to create an accordion widget in jquery similar to jquery\'s accordion plugin, with the difference that I want the handles to appear below their respective conte
This does not solve running animations in parallel however it reproduces your expected behavior without the jitter. I placed section inside of handle to reduce the number of animations. You could use andSelf() to make the code smaller but it would be harder to read. You will need to make some style tweaks.
