Question

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

Answer 1

You can't do a parallel effect in jquery with proper queue and scope. Scriptaculous got it right with queue and scope where jQuery on the other hand has .queue and .animate that are basically useless combined. The only thing jQuery is good for out of the box is pushing some style attributes around on the dom whereas Scriptaculous covers the whole spectrum of what's possible with effects.

You need to use Scriptaculous and John Resig should rethink jQuery.fx, he should have a look at scripty2.com while he's at it.
