Hi Brandtley, Please ignore my most recent posted moaning about my failure to get this stuff working on my machine.
I downloaded jquery anew and found a working complete working accordion example on in the download, so all the linkage between html and the javascript is clear. I'm a very happy camper, now that I'm armed with this heretofore unknown (by me) took, jquery. So again, big thanks for pointing me in that direction.
