The issue might be due to how you added elements to the accordion. To add sub items in the Accordion component - you do so by first selecting the section of the accordion to which you wish to add an item and then drag that component to the accordion

For example - let's say you want to add text to the second section of the accordion :
1. Select the second section of the accordion with your mouse.
2. When you click on that section a field will open below it
3. Drag the text box component to that field.
4. Edit the text and then save the changes.

That all works. I was able to add the components on it and in wireframe and preview, it seems to be ok. What happens is in HTML Preview, the accordian component disappears, all the contained components are visible at the same time and the page tabs of the accordian component become large hot link text.

i was curious about if it had something to do with the number of components, so i tried adding one component at a time, creating HTML preview each time i added one and it worked for the first 3 or 4, then it stopped working. deleting the components never got the accordian component working again.

I am able to use it in standard preview mode, which is ok, it gets me what i need for discussion, but the other components aren't active under this mode.

I can't seem to get this feature to work at all. If I'm understanding correctly, I should be able to add the Accordian component to my page, double click, define the rows that will be displayed, and then drag a component over to the Accordian that would display when that section of the Accordian is chosen; is that correct?
