What is an accordion menu?
An accordion menu is a vertically stacked list of headers that can be clicked to reveal or hide content associated with them.
What is the use of accordion?
The accordion has traditionally been used to perform folk or ethnic music, popular music, and transcriptions from the operatic and light-classical music repertoire.
What is accordion style?
An accordion is a menu composed of vertically stacked headers that reveal more details when triggered (often by a mouse click). Since this web design pattern highlights only the most critical information of a section but makes the rest easily accessible, it's a common element in responsive design.
What can I use instead of a dropdown?
Testing generally reveals that open text fields or radio buttons are the preferred implementation instead of dropdowns with either too few or too many options. That is not to say, however, that dropdowns should never be used in such contexts, especially when there are too many choices for users.
What is a content accordion?
The Content Accordion app is a responsive and accessible app that displays articles in a condensed way. This functionality is highly sought after for managing and organizing a high volume of articles and data. Each article has a title and detail that allows a user to input a wide range of content.
