jQuery Accordion - open specific section on pageload

Question

I have a rather basic implementation of a jQuery Accordion on a page (using 1.3.2, jQuery UI Core 1.72 and jQuery UI Accordion 1.7.2), and I wish to open the 2nd section whe

Answer 1

proper way to open a specific tab:

$("#accordion").accordion({
    collapsible  : true,
    active       : false,
    heightStyle  : "content",
    navigation   : true
}); 

Set the option:

//$("#accordion").accordion('option', 'active' , "INSERT YOUR TAB INDEX HERE");
$("#accordion").accordion('option', 'active' , 1);

or you could work with a hash like this:

if(location.hash){

    var tabIndex = parseInt(window.location.hash.substring(1));     
    $("#accordion").accordion('option', 'active' , tabIndex);

}

Vote if you use ;)

Thanks
