Accordion-like group management

Accordion-like group management with pure CSS is a great way to organize content on your website. Unlike other group management methods, accordions are not responsive, and the animation unfolds as you hover over the elements. You can use both text and images for accordions. And if you are designing your website for mobile devices, you can use the portrait orientation for your images. But, if you’re designing for desktop, the following tips will help you create a functional, attractive, and intuitive interface.

This method requires a data-parent attribute, which can be passed via JavaScript or data attributes. The data-parent attribute appends the option name to data-, while the collapse class exposes several events. The show instance method fires immediately, while the visible event waits until CSS transitions are complete. Using these techniques, you’ll be able to create a highly functional, accordion-like group management experience on your website.
