Modes

Since 2.5 dhtmlxAccordion version, 2 modes are available:

• Single Mode (the default one);
• Multi Mode.

Single Mode refers to accordion's behaviour when only one item can be opened. For this mode the end-user click operations on Accordion items are the following:

• A click on a collapsed item - expands this item, and collapses the one that was expanded before;
• A click on an expanded item - yields no result.

Multi Mode refers to accordion's behaviour when all items could be opened at the moment. For this mode the end-user clicks on Accordion items are the following:

• A click on a collapsed item - expands this item;
• A click on an expanded item - collapses this item.

The single mode is activated by default.
To enable the multi mode you should call method enableMultiMode() with the true parameter.

var dhxAcc = new dhtmlXAccordion("box");
//at first, you enable the mode
dhxAcc.enableMultiMode(true);
//and only then, add items
dhxAccord.addItem("a1", "Main Page");
dhxAccord.addItem("a2", "Site Navigation");
