==========================

The Apple style Accordion Menu is a very neat and cool javascript-based menu provided by www.dynamicdrive.com. What I've done is to wrap the original code from www.dynamicdrive.com into a Joomla plugin/mambot so that you can easily include the Apple style Accordion Menu in any of your content item. It's very useful when you have a very long article and want to insert a table of content for that article.

Once you get this configured and working, it's actually one of the smoothest and nicest looking accordion menus out there. However, there are a few things to keep in mind:
1. You can only have two levels of items.
2. Top level items are not functional links, they are just separators for menu sections.
3. It is not easy to set up or use. Even as a technical person, it took me quite a bit of research and tinkering to get it to work.
4. Each section only supports 7 lines of second level menu items. If your items have long titles and wrap to a second line, that eats into the total.

Let me be the first to review this excellent module!
This module is the one that I was looking for! Very nice menu and easy to implement and modify! I don't know if it will interfere too much with other modules, but time will tell.
Thanks a lot kksou for the work of wrapping the core code of dynamicdrive.com into a good module!
