jQuery Multi-Accordion

I’ve developed my previous accordion a little further now. I’ve turned into a full plugin, plus it allows for multiple accordions on the same page. The way this differs, however, is that it allows you to create one accordion that closes open elements in another accordion and vice-versa. You may ask how this is different than a single accordion with tedious amounts of HTML and CSS. Well, the answer is simple: this is less work.

jQuery’s fadeIn() method is a wonderful thing. It’s a great way to bring things in and out of the UI without a sudden jolt, visually.
