In the XOT template you have the Accordion Navigator page type, which I believe uses the jQuery accordion widget . There are various jQuery options that can be set when it comes to styling, but for some reason I can't get heightStyle to work.

Essentially, I want the height of each accordion panel to fit the size of the content, rather than filling the whole page. So, this should work:

$(function() {
	$(".ui-accordion" ).accordion({
		heightStyle: "content"
    });
});

Unfortunately, it doesn't.

Here is a link so you can see what I mean: xerte.cardiff.ac.uk/play_5135

Page 1 - An accordion I declared myself which works as required
Page 7 - The default settings on Accordion Navigator page
Page 8 - A failed attempt to apply my preferred style to the Accordion Navigator page

Ideally, I would like the accordion on Page 8 to function like the accordion on Page 1 (this is preferable for users who won't want to add an accordion via HTML and would be better adding it through the Xerte interface).

Any ideas?
