Reverse / Drop Up Style Accordion

cesarcesar · July 16, 2011

Howdy Community,

I have spent the past 4 hours strait looking for and trying to modify an accordion style vertical menu who's elements slide out of the top and up instead of the normal slide out of the bottom and down action.

I would like it in jQuery, but at this point I will take any library. Thanks for your help. I know some have wondered "What have you tried making work".. jQuery Tools, Jquery UI and about 3 other scripts that looked updateable. All I couldn't get to work.

I also made an attempt to fake an accordion using show/hide toggles and this sorta worked, but it didnt have the nice slide as well as my data didnt move on page in the right direction. Headache!!!

Help!! Thanks, Cesar

If you couldn't get what are already existing, tested and working libraries working then you need to explain what you tried, what wasn't working and post some code so we can hopefully help you solve the issues.

Throwing more code your way is NOT likely to help.
