[jQuery] Working with accordions - Parent category without Child
I am very happy with jquery. And I have been playing around with it
over the last couple of days.
I am a designer with a heavy reliance on IDEs like dreamweaver. So my
coding background isn't strong, so please forgive this question if it
is too out of place to ask here.
I am using this code:
<script>
$(document).ready(function(){
$("dd").hide();
$("dt a").click(function(){
$("dd:visible").slideUp("fast");
$(this).parent().next().slideDown("fast");
return false;
});
$(".parent a").click(function(){
$("dd:visible").slideUp("fast");
$(this).parent().next().slideDown("fast");
return false;
});
});
</script>
<style>
body { font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; }
dl { width: 300px; }
dl,dd { margin: 0; }
dt { background: #CCC; font-size: 12px; padding: 5px; margin: 2px; }
dt a { color: #FFF; }
dd a { color: #000; }
ul { list-style: none; padding: 5px; background: #CCC; font-size:
12px; padding: 5px; margin: 2px; }
.parent {background: #CCC; font-size: 12px; padding: 5px; margin:
2px; }
.parent a { color: #000; }
.child {background: #ccc; font-size: 12px; padding: 5px; margin:
2px; }
.child a { color: #fff; }
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<dl>
<div class="parent" id="parent"><a href="http://www.google.com"
target="_blank">Home</a></div>
<dt><a href="/">Company Profile</a></dt>
<dd>
<ul>
<li><a href="/src/">Line1</a></li>

For a sliding menu. It work great, however I am am not sure how to
code in main "parent" sections with out any sub link "children" below
them. I'd like the childess parents to still show/hide as well as open
their links. There is probably a very simple way to do this. Thanks in
advance.
