3rd level header - accordion menu

JavaScript
1

Good morning everyone,

I really need some help with this - I’ve tried everything but cannot get it to work properly. My client now wants a third header at the top.

Right now it is:

Party Wigs (expand)
Themes (expand)

I need to add another header at the top:

Accessories (expand)
Party Wigs (expand)
Themes (expand)

Can someone please help? This is my code:

Hi there,

This isn’t too hard.
Just declare a third level of navigation in the JavaScript and adapt your HTML code accordingly.

Here’s a working example:

<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
  <head>
    <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
    <title>3 level accordion</title>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4.2/jquery.min.js"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.iparty.co.za/storescripts/ddaccordion.js">

I hope this helps.

Thank you so very much for your help - it now works perfectly! I had a basic idea of what had to be done, but just couldn’t figure out how to.

Thanks so much! :slight_smile:
