To create an inbox like Gmail in jQuery, would something like the Accordion effect work for opening
- by snoopy
I've been looking for a pre-built jQuery component that I could use to build an inbox for a messaging application:
http://jqueryui.com/demos/accordion/
I was thinking that if I could close all of the elements in the Accordion, that would be equivalent to showing a list of unopened messages when the user first logs into their Inbox. And then, by clicking on the leaves of the Accordion, they can see each message one by one.
Is this a good idea or is there some other jQuery plugin that would work better for this type of functionality?
