Accordion menu with horizental pane

[Dss_dev]

I want to implement in my website a javascript without any 'Framework' that consists of a accordion menu with horizental pane.

If it is possible. Please suggest.

Yes, it is possible. Anything a framework widget does can be done with plain javascript.

'Boiling it down' to just the essential modules can still leave you with a LOT of code. These accordian and desk sorter gimics can require a lot of javascript. I see these around, now, and as important effects in some of these effects libraries. Is there any read advantage to the accordion animation? What does it do to ease any burden on the viewer as opposed to just hiding and showing the block under the title, immediately? And is there some reason people would need to sort box A to the right of box B and not vis-versa, assuming both would be on the screen at the same time? I don't know.

What if a customer is just enamored with the effect. What are you going to tell him/her? "I can't do that," or "I can do that but only if you install this huge framework?" Get real.

The customer just demands the gimic? I still suspect you're looking at a lot of code to achieve that. Obviously, you don't need the other library modules, just enough for those effects. I wouldn't have suggested otherwise, if you're implying that.
