Hi Brandtley,
Thanks for pointing me to jquery. I was nice to discover that it's a
big library of javascript routines ... very cool.
That's the good news. I tried to add accordion functionality to my
test program, to no avail. Despite all my machinations,
I continue to see only exploded versions of the test menu items.
I've got the following files in my working dir,
K:\___WebsiteDevelopment\AccordianMenu\Ver_04b_anotherIdealM_L:
- jquery-accordion:
A downloaded copy of jquery-ui-1.8.14.custom.zip
- accordion.js:
An unzipped renamed copy of jquery-accordion\scripts
\jquery.accordion.js
- Test2ndIdeal.html:
A modified version in which I attempted to get around
the "ui" included in the jquery stuff
- pastie.org-2185477.url
Copies of my non-working Test & Accordian.js
Any idea how I can get a working version of the original code from
http://jqueryui.com/demos/accordion/
Thanks in advance (with apologies for being so stupid),
Richard
