How to do:

1. Insert this JavaScript code block wherever between the header tags

[code lang="javascript"]

[/code]
2. Create a “topmenu – submenu” pair as below.
[code lang="html"]

• Sample top menu #1

• Sample sub menu #1
• Sample sub menu #2

[/code]
3. That’s it, you’ve just created your first accordion menu item. Repeat step 2 to create as many menu items as you like to make a nice menu.
