Accordions can be a fun way to provide access to many similar features or bits of info in a tight space.
One pitfall to watch out for, is the function of the height and behavior of the accordion. If the content of a pane is taller than the space the accordion rests in, you sometimes end up scrolling up and down the page to read content, activate another accordion, read some more, etc... classic pogo.
Here's a nested accordion which is activated with a click event. http://www.sonlight.com/samples.html Apple has one on their site too, which is activated by a hover event. -Mike C. Jorge Márquez wrote:
