Is there a way to prevent the row background color from stretching along with the content of the dropdown accordion?

Is there a way to prevent the row background color from expanding along with the content of the dropdown accordion?

I want the row to remain fixed in place and have the dropdown content start below the selected row. Currently, the style of the row changes completely when the accordion is triggered.

<script src="~/Scripts/jquery-1.10.2.js"></script>
<script src="~/Scripts/jquery-ui-1.10.4.custom.min.js"></script>
<link href="~/Content/less/Custom/jquery-ui-1.10.4.custom.min.css" rel="stylesheet" />

Function:

<script>
$(function () {
    $(".myaccordion").accordion({
        active: false,
        collapsible: true
    });

});
</script>

Table:

<div>
       <table class="students" style="border-spacing: 0 8px; border-collapse: separate;">
           @foreach (var item in Model.project)
               {
                   @:<tr style="background-color:grey;-moz-border-radius: 15px;border-radius: 15px;">           
                   <td class="position">@item.Position</td>                        
                   <td class="myaccordion" style="width: 50%;padding-left: 10px;text-align: left;"><a href="#">@item.Name</a>
                   <div style="font-size:10px;">
                       @foreach (var name in Model.project1)
                           {   
                               <div style="-moz-border-radius: 15px;border-radius: 15px;width:100%;padding-top:10px">
                                   <span style="margin-left:1%; text-align: center">@name.Position</span>                                
                                   <span style="margin-left:8%; text-align: center">@name.Name</span>
                                   <span style="margin-left:10%; text-align: center">@name.Points</span>
                               </div>

                           }                            

                   </div>                                                            
              </td>
              <td style="width: 13%; text-align: center">@item.Points</td>                                               
              <td style="width: 10%; text-align: center;padding-right:10px">@item.Total</td>                              
              @:</tr>                                               
          }     
      </table>                 
 </div>

It seems like you're looking for a way to make a dropdown expand without affecting the size of the parent row visually. Unfortunately, achieving this without some workaround is quite tricky. When the content within a cell increases in height, the td and row grow along with it. I've come up with a solution specifically for single-line height cells, but it may not work for cells with multiple lines.

To address this issue, consider wrapping each cell's content in a div with the visual properties of a cell, such as color and padding. Additionally, instead of applying the "myaccordion" class directly to the td, assign it to another div. This approach allows for the inclusion of a wrapper around the accordion.

For a demonstration, you can check out this demo.

To implement the solution, reset the padding of each td to 0:

td {
  padding: 0px;
  vertical-align: top;
}

Next, add a div with the class "wrap" to each cell:

.wrap {
   background-color: grey; 
   height: 25px; /* Adjust according to one-line cell */
}  

For the cell containing the accordion, include a special div with the class "wrap1":

.wrap1 {
   position: relative;
}

.wrap1:before {    
  content: "";
  width: 100%;
  height: 25px;
  position: absolute;
  top: 0;
  left: 0;
  z-index: 0;
  display: block;
  background-color: grey;  
}

These styles ensure consistent height and background color across cells within a row with a single line (adjust the height as needed). Implementing a solution for multi-line cells may require JavaScript.
