Is there a way to open the first accordion when clicking on the "open 1st accordion" link, and do the same for the second link? The accordions themselves work perfectly fine, I just need a way to trigger them from outside their scope by clicking on links in the menu bar.
$(".expand").on("click", function () {
$(".right-arrow").text("+");
$(".detail:visible").slideUp();
if(!$(this).next().is(":visible")){
$(this).next().slideDown(200);
$(this).find(".right-arrow").text("-");
}
});/*Tips & Tricks Page*/
