Jquery Accordion - use anchors to open & go to specific section

Question

Since jQueryUI 1.10 "activate" method has been removed and I had some issue opening links to my accordion sections.

That's why I looked for a solution to my problem that I found here.

But I still have a remaining problem.

I would like the link to open specific tab but also scroll down to it. I tried to add some id to paragraphs without success as you can see on http://jsfiddle.net/VZ3T5/232/

Any help would be highly appreciated.

HTML:

    <a class="opener" data-panel="0" href="#question1">Open & go to Question 1</a>

<a class="opener" data-panel="1" href="#question2">Open & go to Question 2</a>

<a class="opener" data-panel="2" href="#question3">Open & go to Question 3</a>

<a class="opener" data-panel="3" href="#question4">Open & go to Question 4</a>

jQuery:

 var $accordion = $("#accordion");

$accordion.accordion({
      collapsible: true, active: false
    });

$(".opener").on("click", function () {
    var $this = $(this),
        toOpen = $this.data("panel");

    $accordion.accordion("option", "active", toOpen);

    return false;
});

Answer 1

Try this:

var $accordion = $("#accordion");

$accordion.accordion({
    collapsible: true,
    active: false
});

$(".opener").on("click", function() {
    var $this = $(this),
        toOpen = $this.data("panel");
    $accordion.accordion("option", "active", toOpen);
    var timer = $accordion.accordion("option", "animate");//get animate value
    setTimeout(function() {
        $("html,body").animate({
            scrollTop: $($("#accordion>div").get(toOpen)).offset().top
        }, 300);
    }, timer); //Use it in the timer.
    return false;
});

The simple method will be to put a timer till the accordion is opened. Accordion has an option of specifying the animate value and that can also be used as a timer
