JQUERY UI Accordion start collapsed

How can I make the jquery UI accordion start collapsed when the form loads. Is there any javascript code for this?

In your options specify:

{
  ...
  active: false,
  collapsible: true,
  ...
}

See documentation for active.

I was trying to do the same thing. Using Jquery UI tabs. I wanted none to show with 5 tabs when you start.

using active: false showed the 5th tabs content. So I set tabs CSS to display:none; since it in-line changes display. Hope this helps someone!

<script>
$(function() {
    $( "#tabs" ).tabs({
		active: false,
        collapsible: true,
    });
});

And in the style

#tabs-1, #tabs-2, #tabs-3, #tabs-4, #tabs-5{ 
	display:none;
}

I used this code, as i was using a Dreamweaver Widget, the code that Topek didnt work for me hope this helps,

jQuery("#jQueryUIAccordion").accordion({ 
		event: "click",
		active: false,
		collapsible: true,
		autoHeight: false
		
	});

To complete the answer of topex, With Jquery UI 1.10.3 I had to set the 'collapsible' option before the 'active' one.

$( ".accordion" ).accordion("option", { 
    collapsible: true,
    active: false
});

See the documentation

If you're using the wysiwyg "Properties" and the coding confuses, try putting a number in the "Active" box one more than your list of Sections. I have 12 sections and put "13" in there and it worked for me.

If you are using default jquery accordion it always display first panel content, you can disable it by using active: false attribute.

jQuery(document).ready(function() {
    jQuery( "#accordion" ).accordion({
      collapsible: true,
      active: false,
    });
});

but it's default behavior is for all panels will be set to the height of the tallest panel. so, for that you have to add "heightStyle" attribute.

heightStyle: "content",

so, each panel will be only as tall as its content.

If you look at the beginning of the panel group in your code, look for this

<div id="collapseOne1" class="panel-collapse collapse in"> 

if you just remove the "in" it has the panel close when the page loads.
