Question

I want to create a jquery accordion dynamically by getting node names from the xml.

In the xml under product domainmetadata will be only once and there are only 2 services at the moment CMS and DIS so 2 service types are available.

under service type (domainmetadata_service) domainmetadata_service_optiongroup and domainmetadata_optiongroup can be many and only 1 domainmetadata_resourceinfo

So how can i have an accordion something like below structure

Health Check
Configuration
    -System
        -environment
    -PRODUCT
        -DOMAINMETADATA
            -domainmetadata_gateways
            -domainmetadata_gridinfo
            -domainmetadata_service
                -CMS
                    -domainmetadata_service_optiongroup
                    -domainmetadata_optiongroup
                    -domainmetadata_resourceinfo
                -DIS
                    -domainmetadata_service_optiongroup
                    -domainmetadata_optiongroup
                    -domainmetadata_resourceinfo

Right now I am using Spry framework, which is giving me lots of trouble making the accordion dynamic. Click here to view the demo

This is what I came up with

var infa9Spans='<span class="infa9span"><img src="/csm/view/include/images/foldericon.png"/><a id="infa9PMServer">PowerCenter Server</a><br/></span>';
$(xml).find("csmclient").each(function()
        {
            $(this).find('product').each(function(){ 

                  $(this).find('domainmetadata_service').each(function(){ 
                    var servicename=$(this).attr('name');
                    infa9Spans+='<span class="infa9span"><img src="/csm/view/include/images/foldericon.png"/><a id="infa9Service">'+servicename+'</a><br/></span>';
                    //var servicediv="<div title="+servicename+" class='class'>";
                });
            });
        });
infa9Spans+='<span class="infa9span"><img src="/csm/view/include/images/foldericon.png"/><a id="infa9PWXServer">PowerExchange Server</a><br/></span>'+

var productSpans=infa9Spans;

$('#productAcc').append(productSpans);

customizeProductAccordion("infa9");
