Woodstock Accordion Component
Hi All,
Yesterday I blogged about the new Woodstock Bubble Help component. Today I'll be blogging about two new components: Accordion and Accordion Tab.
These two components can really be considered as one component since they wrk together. The Accordion component is the container component for the Accordion Tab component. When used together, they add another great feature to web design: vertical tabbing. These tabs can contain just about anything: e.g. text, hyperlinks.
The Accordion component is designed to organize. You can manually determine the component is open or closed when first seen. Here are some examples, the first with text:
Then there's an accordion with a navigational components:
An accordion showing refresh behavior:
And finally, an accordion showing usage of keyboard to navigate through the accordion.
You'll find the Accordion and Accordion Tab components in the Woodstock Composite category of the Palette. You can drag the Accordion component 
from the palette to the Visual Designer.
Then you can start adding accordion tabs 
in the same way.
Have fun and see you tomorrow!

Make sure that the visible property is set to true.

Great to see Woodstock is still going strong. One BIG question though: I have searched the web high and low.... I can't find any themes other than the default blue-ish theme. Is there anyone at Project Woodstock working on another couple of themes?
