[FX.php List] [OFF] Odd CSS problem

[Bob Patin]

I got it now...

I had to change the accordion settings to get it to pass the URLs...  
using one of the other examples, I got it all working.

I'm a CSS novice; I've been writing table-based pages for years, and  
now I'm slowly starting to grasp the use of DIVs instead of tables.

I just wallow around until something works... :)

What was happening is that the accordion uses the anchor tag for the  
element titles, and so I had to use a different type of accordion that  
uses different tags... if you look at my site now you'll see that I  
got it--after spending all weekend diddling with it.

Here's the way these elements are done:

<ul id="navigation">
				<li>
					<a class="head">First Accordion element</a>
					<ul>
						<li><a href="../link.htm">first link</a></li>
						<li><a href="../link2.htm">second link</a></li>
   						<li><a href="../link3.htm">third link</a></li>
					</ul>
	
			</li>
...
</ul>
