jQuery Animated Accordion

Creating an accordion in Webflow can be a bit daunting, especially if you're not comfortable with Webflow interactions. But worry not! We've got a smooth and easy-to-implement jQuery accordion that will save you time and effort. This solution is perfect for those who prefer not to mess around with Webflow's interactions or are looking for a more straightforward approach.

​

Why Use jQuery for Your Accordion?

​

Using jQuery for your accordion offers several advantages:

• Simplicity: No need to manually create all the interactions in Webflow.
• Customization: Easily adjust the speed of opening, closing other accordions, and activating scroll to top for the active item.
• Efficiency: Clean and digestible JavaScript code that you can quickly implement.

​

How to Implement the jQuery Accordion

​

1. Add Custom Code: Navigate to the page settings in Webflow and insert the following jQuery code within the custom code section:

​

    ```javascript

    $(document).ready(function() {

        $('.accordion-header').click(function() {

            var $this = $(this);

            var $accordionContent = $this.next('.accordion-content');

            var $allContents = $('.accordion-content');

            var $allHeaders = $('.accordion-header');

​

            if (!$accordionContent.is(':visible')) {

                $allContents.slideUp(300);

                $allHeaders.removeClass('active');

                $this.addClass('active');

                $accordionContent.slideDown(300, function() {

                    $('html, body').animate({

                        scrollTop: $this.offset().top - 20

                    }, 300);

                });

            } else {

                $accordionContent.slideUp(300);

                $this.removeClass('active');

            }

        });

    });

    ```

​

1. Update Class Names: Ensure that your accordion headers and content sections have the appropriate class names (accordion-header and accordion-content). Update these class names in the jQuery code if you have customized them in your design.

​

1. Customize Settings: Adjust the speed of opening (300 milliseconds), the scroll offset (20 pixels), and the delay before moving to the active item (300 milliseconds) as per your requirements.
