The Fx.Accordion class creates a group of Elements that are toggled when their handles are clicked. When one Element toggles into view, the others toggle out.
Notes:
- Fx.Accordion requires the page to be in Standards Mode.
- Fx.Accordion elements will have their paddings and borders removed in order to make the transition display correctly. Best practice is to use the accordion elements as containers for elements that are styled exactly as you like.
Extends:

var myAccordion = new Fx.Accordion(togglers, elements[, options]);
