Question

I have this HTML structure and want to convert it to an accordion.

<div class='accor'>     <div class='section'>         <h3>Sub section</h3>         <p>Sub section text</p>     </div>     <div class='section'>         <h3>Sub section</h3>         <p>Sub section text</p>     </div>     <div class='section'>         <h3>Sub section</h3>         <p>Sub section text</p>     </div> </div> 

Basically using the h3s as accordion headers, and the rest of the content in each div.section as the content for each accordion panel. (Also note: the headings could be anything between h2 and h6, depending on their nesting).

I figured that this would be easiest if the DOM tree were restructured so the h3s were outside each div since that’s how the accordion works by default:

    <h3>Sub section</h3>     <div class='section'>         <p>Sub section text</p>     </div> 

The only problem is: how to move the headings around? (I don’t have access to change the HTML).

var $sections = $('div.accor > .section'),     $headings = $sections.find('> :header') ; // I figured that inserting each heading to be before its parent might // be the answer: $headings.insertBefore($headings.find(':parent'));  // ... but that doesn't do anything 

Answer 1

Ah, I found the solution.

Using $.each()

$headings.each(function(i, el) {     var $this = $(el), $p = $this.parent();     $this.insertBefore($p); }); 

Is there a better solution than this, though? Perhaps just using the vanilla Accordion options?
