Hello I have created some javascript to make an accordion menu and it works when I only have one menu I want to expand like this code...

CODE

<a href="java script:runAccordion('block','html')">HTML/XHTML </a>

   <div id="html" name="html">
   some text
   </div>

   <script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
   
   </script>

but once I try to add a parameter or variable to the function runAccordion to make it so I can have multiple menus it doesn't work...

CODE

<a  href="java script:runAccordion('block','html')">HTML/XHTML </a>

   <div id="html" name="html">
   some text
   </div>

   <a href="java script:runAccordion('block','css')">CSS</a>

   <div id="css" name="css">
   some more text
   </div>

   <script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
   
   </script>

Could you please explain why this code doesn't work?

You say the first block of code you provided works right? But i don't see a #chord element anywhere in the code you provided. Is there something you left out?

The second block should work regardless of the first block, though i would recommend you avoid using both "id" and "name" attributes. I'm not sure if that was ever a recommendation, but now all you should use is "id" unless you have a specific need for "name" (i.e. in a form).
