How can I incorporate an icon on the right side of a jQuery UI accordion?

How can I use CSS or HTML to position a jQuery UI icon on the right side of an accordion widget's headers?

For example, if I have the following HTML:

<!-- Accordion -->
<div id="accordion">
    <div>
        <h3><a href="#"><span class="title">Content</span><span class="ui-icon ui-icon-newwin"></span></a></h3>
        <div>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet.</div>
    </div>
    <div>
        <h3><a href="#">Second</a></h3>
        <div>Phasellus mattis tincidunt nibh.</div>
    </div>
    <div>
        <h3><a href="#">Third</a></h3>
        <div>Nam dui erat, auctor a, dignissim quis.</div>
    </div>
</div>

Is it possible to apply CSS to align the jQuery UI icon to the right side?

Answer №1

After some experimentation, I believe I have found the solution to this problem. By incorporating the following CSS code, the issue appears to be resolved.

#accordion a span.title {
    float: left;
    display: block;
    margin-right: 10px;
    margin-top: 5px;
}

#accordion a span.ui-icon {
    position: static;   
    height: 20px;
    margin-top: 0px; 
    margin-top: 3px;
}

Please let me know if you encounter any further issues with this. Thank you.

What do you think about this code snippet? (make sure to adjust the theme to match your design)

Answer №3

Here is a solution:

.ui-accordion .ui-accordion-header .ui-accordion-header-icon {
    /*right: 0.75em !important;*/
    left: 585px;
}

After some trial and error, I found that setting the absolute positioning to 'right: x;' did not work as expected. Instead, I had to use a large 'left' value to achieve the desired result. It might seem like a hacky solution, but it gets the job done.

Answer №4

Using <i>float:right</i> with the class ui-icon should solve the problem effectively. Additionally, consider including the float:left property within the span.title class to prevent any rendering issues in Internet Explorer.

Answer №5

Give this a shot:

#accordion h3 a {width:100%}
#accordion h3 a .ui-icon {float:right}

Answer №6

Hey there, Sevmusic. Just wanted to share a little tip for those interested in creating nested accordions with an icon-group above each one.

<script type="text/javascript">
    $(function () {
        $(".x").accordion({
            header: "h3",
            collapsible: true,
            active: false,
            autoHeight: false
        });

        $(".xy").accordion({
            header: "h4",
            collapsible: true,
            active: false,
            autoHeight: false
        });
    });
</script>
<style type="text/css">
    ul.icons
    {
        margin: 0;
        padding: 0;
    }
    ul.icons li
    {
        margin: 2px;
        position: relative;
        padding: 2px 0;
        cursor: pointer;
        float: left;
        list-style: none;
    }
    ul.icons span.ui-icon
    {
        float: left;
        margin: 0 4px;
    }
    .accordionContent
    {
        position: relative;
    }
    .icon-group
    {
        position: absolute;
        top: 0px;
        right: 2px;
        z-index: 9999;
        cursor: pointer;
    }
</style>
<div class="x">
    <div class="accordionContent">
        <h3>
            <a href="#">First Outer</a></h3>
        <div>
            <div class="xy" style="position: relative;">
                <h4>
                    <a href="#">Second Inner</a></h4>
                <div>
                    Phasellus mattis tincidunt nibh.</div>
                <ul class="icons icon-group ui-widget ui-helper-clearfix">
                    <li title="Complete"><span class="ui-icon ui-icon-pencil"></span></li>
                    <li title="Help" class="ui-state-default ui-corner-all"><span class="ui-icon ui-icon-help">
                    </span></li>
                </ul>
            </div>
        </div>
        <ul class="icons icon-group ui-widget ui-helper-clearfix">
            <li title="Complete"><span class="ui-icon ui-icon-check"></span></li>
            <li title="Help" class="ui-state-default ui-corner-all"><span class="ui-icon ui-icon-help">
            </span></li>
        </ul>
    </div>
</div>

Hope this helps someone looking to implement this setup more easily!

Cheers

Answer №7

Why do you make solving this so difficult? There is an easy solution for the icons and switching off the padding of the title in the H3 tag. Make sure to set this in your CSS file after loading the jQuery styles.

$ = jQuery.noConflict();
$(function () {
        var icons = {
            header: "ui-icon-circle-arrow-e",
            activeHeader: "ui-icon-circle-arrow-s"
        };
        $("#accordion").accordion({
            icons: icons,
            heightStyle: "content",
            collapsible: true
        });
    });
