Hello,

 

I have a page the makes an AJAX request, and returns some data from the database, once it is retruned I am trying to append it to a div and make an accordion, however all I am getting is the data back and no accordion here is my source code once the AJAX has run.(snippet)

 

        <script type="text/javascript">
    
    $(document).ready(function() {
         //accordians for when the AJAX loads the content
         // hides the main_menu as soon as the DOM is ready
         // (a little sooner than page load)
         $('#main_menu').hide();
         // shows the slickbox on clicking the noted link
         $('h3#show-menu a').click(function() {
               $('#main_menu').toggle('slow');
               return false;
         });
        //try and hide the left content when it is null
        $("#left-content:empty").hide();
        //style up the scroll bar
        $('#left-content').jScrollPane();
        //do some AJAX to call the method instead of the browser
        $("a.navlink").click(function (ev) {
            $(this).toggleClass("active");
            ev.preventDefault();
            var id = $(this).attr("id")
            if ($(this).hasClass("active")) {
                $("."+id).remove();
            } else {
                 //$(this).toggleClass("active");
                 var url = $(this).attr("href");
                 $.ajax ({
                     url: url,
                     type: "POST",
                     success : function (html) {
                         $("#accordion").append(html);
                         $('#accordion').accordion({
                             active: 0,
                             header:'h2.Blog'
                         });
                     //alert(accordion())
                     }
                 });
                }
             });
           });
    </script>
    </head>
    <body>
    <div style="left: -100em; position: absolute; width: 100em;"/>
    <div id="wrapper">
    <h3 id="show-menu">
    </h3>
    <div id="main_menu" style="display: block;">
    </div>
    <div id="left-content-holder">
    </div>
    <div id="right-content">
    <div id="accordion" class="ui-accordion ui-widget ui-helper-reset" role="tablist">
    <h2 class="Blog ui-accordion-header ui-helper-reset ui-state-active ui-corner-top" role="tab" aria-expanded="true" tabindex="0">
    </h2>
    <div class="Blog ui-accordion-content ui-helper-reset ui-widget-content ui-corner-bottom ui-accordion-content-active" style="height: 16px;" role="tabpanel">Hello World</div>
    </div>
    </div>
    </div>

 

 

As you can see the data gets appended to the `<div id="accordion">` and all the apropriate classes get given to the elements that should give it accordion functionality but I get nothing.  Should i be creating the accordion from the DOM and theoretically the data is returned is not in the HTML and if so how would I go about doing this?

 

Thanks

What happens if you change your else section to this?  If it still doesnt work could you post all the html/js for the page.

 

} else {
var url = $(this).attr("href");
$("#accordion").load(url).accordion({
                             active: 0,
                             header:'h2.Blog'
                         });
}
