I have an accordion menu that works nicely. But now, I want only one parent item expanded at a time. In other words, when I click to expand one parent item, any other expanded parent item needs to collapse. I thought adding a line to slide the sibling elements up would work, but either that's not it, or I'm doing it wrong. Any ideas?
Here is my jsfiddle
Here is my code:
CSS
a
{
cursor: pointer;
}
.menu ul
{
list-style: none outside none;
}
.menu li a
{
line-height: 25px;
}
.menu > ul > li > a
{
color: #3B4C56;
display: block;
font-weight: normal;
position: relative;
text-decoration: none;
}
.menu li.parent > a
{
padding: 0 0 0 28px;
}
.menu li.parent > a:before
{
background-image: url("../images/plus_minus_icons.png");
background-position: 25px center;
content: "";
display: block;
height: 21px;
left: 0;
position: absolute;
top: 2px;
vertical-align: middle;
width: 23px;
}
.menu ul li.active > a:before
{
background-position: 0 center;
}
.menu ul li ul
{
border-left: 1px solid #D9DADB;
display: none;
margin: 0 0 0 12px;
overflow: hidden;
padding: 0 0 0 25px;
}
.menu ul li ul li
{
position: relative;
}
.menu ul li ul li:before
{
border-bottom: 1px dashed #E2E2E3;
content: "";
left: -20px;
position: absolute;
top: 12px;
width: 15px;
}
jQuery
$( document ).ready( function( ) {
$( '.menu li' ).each( function() {
if( $( this ).children( 'ul' ).length > 0 ) {
$( this ).addClass( 'parent' );
}
});
$( '.menu li.parent > a' ).click( function(event) {
if($(this).next('ul').is(':hidden'))
{
event.preventDefault();
$( this ).parent().toggleClass( 'active' );
$( this ).parent().children( 'ul' ).slideDown( 'fast' );
$( this ).parent().children.siblings( 'ul' ).slideUp( 'fast' );
}
});
});
