[locked] Accordion help

[richchiamulera]

I'm trying to use a collapsible accordion for a webpage I maintain for an athletics program that I coach. However, I don't have a lot of experience with CSS or bootstrap. I can't seem to get the accordion to collapse, instead only getting what seems to equate to a basic table. Please help!

Here is the documentation for the jQuery accordion widget:

https://api.jqueryui.com/accordion/

If you wish or need to continue using these types of widgets you should familiarize yourself with how they work and how they can be configured. This shouldn't be a difficult task. If it is, you might want to seriously consider hiring a web developer or using high quality extensions that provide a visual UI inside Dreamweaver.

At this point, and in my opinion, the worst kind of help you can get is to have someone provide a "copy this code and paste it there" kind of fix. That would be like giving you a fish instead of teaching you to fish for yourself.

By the way, the float drop in your other page might be fixable by adding this rule to your CSS:

* {box-sizing: border-box;}

If not, you have a mathematical error or a fixed-width element that is wider than your column. Should be easy to spot.

Thank you for being helpful. The copy and paste method is what frustrated me so much - couldn't see how that actually would lead me to solving my specific errors.

In terms of the float drop, where would I insert that rule? Is there a specific spot? I am going to look at it in the morning and see if that works.

I think that this opening question is very misleading. It gives the impression that you are using Bootstrap when in reality you are not.

When Nancy OShea​ asked you which version of Bootstrap you were using, in an effort to help you. your reply was

How does that answer my question? I am just asking which div code should I add that collapse tag that you gave me? Or if I need to create a new one.

This seemed to me to be quite aggressive. First providing us with misinformation, then attacking someone who has asked for more information.

I will not repeat your rant regarding an esteemed contributor to this forum; all I will say is that apologies would not go astray.

Ok if I knew a way to close this for no more comments I would. So let me say this:

I understand people's desire to protect your own (whichever side of the issue you fall on) but this whole thing is done. I got information that I requested and am done. Everyone continuing to attack everyone else just continues to put bad tastes in people's mouths. So STOP.
