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

I have resolved this question a little different since I had to create a menu.php which we include I have included every single page. In our project there was 1 accordion (a menu element with 2 submenus). So when the visitor is on the submenus, the accordion is open and the selected link (which are highlighted using CSS, not jQuery) active. But when the visitor is on a different page, the accordion works normally.

Here's the javascript:

var containsParams = /teacher|student/i.test(window.location.href), //regexp with string params
accordion = $("li.accordion"); // the accordion as a global

accordion.accordion({ //accordion setup on every page
    animated : !containsParams,
    active : containsParams,
    collapsible : true,
    event : "click",
    header : "h2"
});

//I like to use "self calling methods" since many times I need a main onload event and this way it's clear for every page and my main function still remains
(function () {
    if (containsParams) accordion.accordion("activate", 0);
})();

Hope you like it. =]
