This is the module version of the Apple style Accordion Menu plugin.
http://extensions.joomla.org/component/option,com_mtree/task,viewlink/link_id,6115/Itemid,35/
The plugin version allows you to insert the menu in a content item or article.
If you want the menu to appear in a module position, then use this module.

Latest Version
==============
v1.0.2 (for Joomla 1.0) and v1.5.2 (for Joomla 1.5)
Released December 19, 2008
Fixed the warning message "Notice: Undefined property: stdClass::$params in tmpl/default.php on line 20".
v1.0.1 (for Joomla 1.0) and v1.5.1 (for Joomla 1.5)
Thanks to Guido van de Camp who informed me that there was an extra letter in the .xml installation file of the previous version. It won't install with the extra letter. Have fixed this in this new version.
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.

Great no word to say the best of best
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!
