Accordion-a pane stays open when returning to page-possible???

in Using jQuery Plugins • 11 years ago

Hi,

The site I am referencing is: http://tinyurl.com/75u4rh2

I would like to have the pane that was open when someone left this page still be opened when they return to it. An example would be that one of the FAQ answers has a link to information on another page. The person clicks on the link inside the pane, goes to this informational page, hits the back button, and the pane is still open so they can continue reading the answer to this FAQ question. I know there is something to do with a history bit of code, but have no idea how that works. Is this even possible?

Also, if you know how to fix the lag in load time for this page before the JQuery kicks in, I would be very appreciative. I also find it strange that although I have set the in the script, autoHeight: false, and it works for all of the panes, the first one still has a huge amount of white space under the text.

Many thanks for your time and your help.

Cheers,

Janell

you could set a cookie with accordion change event and check for cookie value on page load and set "active" option accordingly

Hi Charlietfl,

Based on your suggestion, I finally found some code which you can see on my test page here: http://tinyurl.com/6qduml6

It works perfectly for Safari and Firefox, but on IE, the accordion stops working all together. Do you have any idea why that is happening?

Thanks so much for the help!!

Hi Charlietfl,

Thanks, I corrected that and deleted some of the duplicate code. However, it did not fix the problem. IE still won't open any of the accordions on click. Any other thoughts?

Thanks so much!!!!
