You are correct, I prefer Adobe's approach. Actually I have seen more
accordions like Adobe's then Joern's accordian control but I would love to
find a way around using SPRY because as good as it is, it's not easy to
manipulate like jQuery is. The height of the div is set as a min-height
property but you can make it static. 

And somehow they get it to always stick to the top and bottom when opening a
closing. Thanks again for helping out a really dummy.

I never touched CF, I am using jQuery with IIS and ASP.NET.

Actually, this is a common theme in many JavaScript-based accordians. I 
think you're probably accustomed to seeing something like this:

http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/demos/products/index.html

or

http://demos.openrico.org/demos/accordion

In that scenario, it looks like they have a div with a fixed width and 
height and the accordian included in it. I'm fairly positive that the 
same effect can be done with Joern's accordian control. He's the 
developer of the accordian plugin you mentioned and also a member of the 
jQuery project team. I'll ask him about it and see if he can't help you out.

We'll get you unstuck for sure. :)

Actually, I was referring to ColdFusion, Adobe's application server.
