Accordions
Accordions allow you to display multiple sections of content in a concise layout. As the name indicates, it expands like an accordion. When you first load it, only the section headings are visible, with the “>” symbol appearing next to each section heading. Pressing the “>” expands that section, opening the accordion.
Accordions makes each section easy to find without scrolling down a long page of text.
The following example shows an accordion in both states – the first is closed, and the second is open - and showing its content. When in an “open” state, the “down arrow” can be used to close that section.
Accordions are built using a single-column table, with a pair of rows per entry – one row for the heading, and a second row for the content.
Accessibility Tip: Tables are difficult to navigate - and must be carefully labelled with meaningful row and column headers.

As a community of artists, writers, musicians, filmmakers, and scholars whose careers will be spent creating intellectual property, we encourage our entire community to respect the property of others. Downloading anything onto your machine from untrustworthy P2P (peer-to-peer) sources or websites not only exposes you to viruses, worms, and spyware, but often violates the copyright laws and can lead to suspension of network privileges, or to lawsuits from the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA), or the Business Software Alliance (BSA). Please remember that theft is a crime, and that nothing in cyberspace is truly anonymous. Copyright protections are created when words are put on paper, transmitted via email, when music is recorded, software is written, or when an image is created. Once done, the work is protected by copyright—no formal copyright registration or seal is required for copyright protection to be in effect. If someone else wants to use the work, they must get permission from its creator. Copyrighted material includes almost all forms of original expression fixed in tangible medium even if no formal copyright notice is filed or attached. However, you cannot copyright any idea, process, system, method of operation, concept or principle, regardless of the form in which it is described. Copyright infringement is any reproduction (download), display, distribution (upload), creation of derivative works, or public performance of copyrighted work without permission of the copyright owner. Federal copyright law and college policy prohibit the copying and/or distribution of copyrighted material without the permission of the copyright owner. Copyrighted materials include but are not limited to text, graphics, art, photographs, music, film, and software. Peer-to-peer (P2P) software such as BitTorrent that is often used to share music, movies and other media may lead to violation of copyright laws. Most P2P software automatically shares anything that you download by default—so if you downloaded the latest Hollywood blockbuster to watch it, you would also be helping to distribute an illegal copy to others by sharing the contents of your machine with the world. If you use any P2P software for legitimate purposes, as a security precaution, you should disable its file sharing component. There is an IU website with details on disabling file-sharing for most P2P software: http://protect.iu.edu Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) The DMCA can be reviewed at: http://www.copyright.gov/legislation/dmca.pdf An overview of the act can be found at: http://www.arl.org/focus-areas/copyright-ip To report alleged copyright infringements on Purchase College computers, please contact the college’s designated DMCA agent:

- Add titles and content to your accordion as shown. Once you save the page, the content of each section will be hidden.
- To add more rows, right click on any row in the accordion and select insert row after or before.
Note: Please add two rows at a time, otherwise the styling and functionality breaks (one row is for the section title, one row is for the content).
