Success...this works!!! Thank you so much. Of course that leads to another question - is there a way to button up the first section? Meaning content within the first section is currently displayed rather than - click and then display. !

> @Gail , Great!!



So Replace the code at Step 3 with the below



jQuery( function() {

jQuery( "#accordion" ).accordion({

active:false,

collapsible: true

});

} );

---

Thank you - that worked.

---

A last and hopefully final question - can the color (blue) be changed? I have change the primary color (look and feel) in Quatrics to #09598e.

Paste the below CSS in the Add custom CSS option



.JFEScope .ui-state-active, .JFEScope .ui-widget-content .ui-state-active, .JFEScope .ui-widget-header .ui-state-active {

border: 1px solid #09598e;

background: #09598e;

}

Thanks again for all your help!!!

Is there a reason why I can't get any more than 4 sections/accordian headers to display with the code displayed above? I need 8 sections/headers in my accordian. What am I missing something?

Errors: accordion spelling was wrong and div closing missing for section 4

---

@Shashi

It works perfectly now. I don't know how I missed those errors. Thank you for the assistance.

---

This is brilliant and exactly what I was looking for. My issue is that the accordion sections are only barely expanding when selected. See this screenshot. Any ideas as to why?!

---

I think I figured out the cause but not a solution. I have an in page display logic setup for the question utilizing the accordion. Once I disabled that, it worked perfectly.

---

This is great! I am trying to do something like this, but would like to have the question choices included in the area that expands and collapses. Is that possible?

---

This code isn't working for me for some reason. Are those 3 steps that were posted on March 30 not valid anymore?

---

Thank you for posting this answer, I managed to get the accordion to work! I would like to make a small adjustment to the code, but I don't quite know how to do it. I would like to use the no auto height argument

(see here: https://jqueryui.com/accordion/#no-auto-height)

but I don't know how to do it. Any tips would be very much appreciated.

---

This thread has been very helpful. I am trying to copy my block with an accordion, but every time I do, the accordion on the new block does not work. Any suggestions on how to make multiple accordions (each as a separate text entry question) in a single survey?

---

I can't seem to get this to work... Even with one or two sections. It works in an old survey that my advisor shared with me. Even copying and pasting the entire html code from that into my own survey is not working. Am I doing something completely wrong? Is there a setting in the survey that I need to look at? Here is the general idea I have going:

---

That's because you are not loading the library and turning it into an accordian.
Add this line to your header:

And this to your question JS:

jQuery( "#accordion" ).accordion();

---

I do have both of those in their respective spots but it still doesn't accordion. Just to be clear, the header is under the look and feel tab, correct? That seems to be the only thing I can think of being wrong... If there is another header that I am not aware of?
(Sorry, my coding is limited to SAS and R.... a little different lol)

---

Yes the header in Look&Feel.
Open header, click this button, then paste the code.
After you click this button again, you should see nothing in your text.

---

That is what I did, and it still isn't working. I will probably just have to forgo using an accordion. Thanks for trying to help!

---

Has anyone made the accordion work for embedded YouTube videos? I got it to work for text only but when I used it for displaying embedded YouTube videos, it doesn't work properly.
This was the code that I am trying to fix:

I have everything set up on the Look and Feel and I have this Javascript code added to the question where I want the accordion to display:
Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnReady(function()
{
/*Place your JavaScript here to run when the page is fully displayed*/
  jQuery( function() {
jQuery( "#accordion" ).accordion({
active:false,
collapsible: true
});
 } );

});
