It looks like you have an extra line-space after each header. If I look at it in Web Inspector, I see the following:
<h2 class="accordion">How much will it cost to ship my order?</h2>
<h2 class="accordion"> </h2>
<p>The answer here...</p>

There should be one and only one return between the header and the paragraph following it. What you need to do is remove all styling from the entire block of text. Double-click inside the HTML box, and the press Command - A to Select All.
In the Styles palette, click on [No Style]. All of the styling should disappear.
Go through the text with the arrow keys, and make sure you only have one return after each header. Then quadruple-click on each header to select it entirely (including the trailing return “character” if present) and apply your h2.accordion style from the Styles palette. Then go through the paragraphs following each header and apply the desired paragraph style to them.
Then you should see what you want to see.

Hi Walter
I will following these instructions now,
I was just asked an odd question, maybe not so odd
i built a CSS menu with submenu (a list of books) and my friend would like the submenu to stay open as opposed to disappearing while he navigates his list
is this possible, or must he keep his cursor on list for it to stay open.
I think there is a script action

You could change the trigger to Rollover?
Can I also suggest you make a greater differentiation between the styles of your h2 and the paras. At the mo it is not so easy to see which is which - and associate them.

Yes but your Q is 13px text and your A 12px same colour - not much between them in looks when the Accordion is open.

Not if you’re using the CSS Menus Action. The hover event is used to open up the inner elements, and the moment you go outside of the element, that event “un-fires” and the effect collapses.
You could, very easily, use either the Transition FX or Observer Action to open the element you wish with a click or mouseover on another object. I’d recommend the click, because it’s more deliberate.

Hmm
and I could apply the transition FX with CSS?
was unclear, as I usually am
anyway my friend wanted the submenu to stay open as he moved from page to page
which I said flat out no…
so many people do not understand navigation of a site

I’ve shown somewhere here in the past how you can use the current URL of the page to signal which menu should be open. It’s not hard, it just requires some sort of clear signal from the URL to the pages, like maybe a folder name or something like that. Let’s say you wanted the “products” menu to always be open when you are in the products folder of the site. In Protaculous, with prototype-packed selected as the library, you could do something like this:
$$('a[href*="products"]').each(function(elm){
if(elm.up('li').down('ul')){
elm.up('li').down('ul').show();
}
});
Paste that into the top Function Body dialog in the Action, and duplicate these settings on all of the “products” pages, and the menu element will remain open while you’re on that page. Note that in this example, the assumption is that no other part of any other URL in the menu will include the word products – they would also pop open in that case.

You misunderstood. I was actually suggesting that there was a bigger difference between the h2 and the para styles. To better differentiate the question from the answer.

I have a related question, in that within the body text, I’m trying to get a line break. When I follow the h2, per the instructions, I dutifully hit Return, and within the body I hit Option Return twice.
However, once it’s in preview, the accordion only displays the first paragraph of the body, as if I’ve simply hit Return. (The remaining three paragraphs are hidden)
Any ideas what I need to do to get that correct formatting?
Many thanks!

Huh, I just played with it again after finding the Freeway Insert New Line menu, it shows Shift Return as the keystroke, rather than the Option Return. I’m happy for the solution.
So, I don’t know if it’s the combination of my Mac, my Freeway version or my Accordion version, but my situation differs from your website instructions. ScriptyAccordion
In the end, it all works out. Whew… Thanks for making a very useful tool

You’re welcome. Thanks for the bug report – I have updated the directions accordingly. I get those two mixed up in my memory sometimes, although my muscle memory for the shortcut doesn’t seem to vary.
