My jQuery accordion() is not working on my HTML paragraphs. Where did I go wrong?
simple.html
$(document).ready(function() {
$("#accordion").accordion();
});
Two problems: You are not including the jQuery UI CSS, also your scripts must be included your <head>
. Use this:
<head>
<title>My Title</title>
<link href="http://code.jquery.com/ui/1.10.2/themes/smoothness/jquery-ui.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">
<script type="text/javascript" src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.9.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://code.jquery.com/ui/1.10.2/jquery-ui.js"></script>
<script>$(document).ready(function(){ $( "#accordion" ).accordion(); });</script>
</head>
and remove the scripts from the bottom of your page.
Fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/cxJW6/ (This doesn't mean much because your problem was with including jQuery+jQuery UI in your page)
Use this...
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title></title>
<script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.9.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.10.2/jquery-ui.min.js"></script>
<script src="myscript.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="mainContent">
<h1>This is an According Example</h1>
</div>
<div id="accordion">
<h3><a href="#">Heading for first sentence</a></h3>
<div>
<p>This is the first sentence.</p>
</div>
<h3><a href="#">Heading for second sentence</a></h3>
<div>
<p>This is the second sentence.</p>
</div>
<h3><a href="#">Heading for third sentence</a></h3>
<div>
<p>This is the third sentence.</p>
</div>
</div>
</body>
And put this in the head tag
<script>
$(document).on('ready', function(){
$("#accordion").accordion();
});
</script>
And see this jsFiddle example
