See http://docs.jquery.com/UI/Accordion#method-activate
"
Signature: .accordion( 'activate' , index )
Activate a content part of the Accordion programmatically. The index can be
a zero-indexed number to match the position of the header to close or a
Selector matching an element.
"
This method currently does not accept a selector, only a numeric index.
Since you want the 2nd section open, and it's zero-based:
$('#accordion').accordion('activate', 1 );
Alternatively, you could initialize the accordion with this section active:
$("#accordion").accordion({
active: 1,
collapsible: true
});
It seems this option accepts more types than the method, including
selectors. See http://docs.jquery.com/UI/Accordion#option-active
