css accordion basics

can we create an accordion with out using jquery ui?

I think yes, it will be basic but also keeping it simple it probably a good idea.

tried adding transitions to make the divs showing a bit smoother, but it does not apply.

its kind of annoying how it scrolls the page to the anchor, but i think i can live with it.

demo

  • Example one
    Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit. Amet in laborum praesentium esse aliquam molestiae animi non facilis perspiciatis corporis ad molestias quo harum suscipit ipsum incidunt ea voluptates accusantium.
  • Example two
    Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit. Amet in laborum praesentium esse aliquam molestiae animi non facilis perspiciatis corporis ad molestias quo harum suscipit ipsum incidunt ea voluptates accusantium.
  • Example three
    Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit. Amet in laborum praesentium esse aliquam molestiae animi non facilis perspiciatis corporis ad molestias quo harum suscipit ipsum incidunt ea voluptates accusantium.
