Simple Accordian using Jquery

The following jquery script can be used to create an accordian effect. Add the class 'handler' to the clickable element and 'expandable' to the element that needs to be toggled.
<script type="text/javascript">
  $(document).ready(function () {
    $(".expandable").hide();
    $(".handler").click(function () {
      if ($(this).siblings(".expandable").css("display") == "none")
      {
        $(".expandable").hide();
        $(this).siblings(".expandable").slideDown();
      }
      else
      {
        $(".expandable").slideUp();
      }
    });
 });
</script>
Here is a working example which uses the above script
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
    <title>Simple Jquery Accordian</title>
    <style type="text/css">
        .handler { width:300px; background-color:#d3d3d3; margin-bottom:10px; cursor: pointer;}
    </style>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.aspnetcdn.com/ajax/jquery/jquery-1.5.1.js"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript">
        $(document).ready(function () {
            $(".expandable").hide();
            $(".handler").click(function () {
                if ($(this).siblings(".expandable").css("display") == "none") {
                $(".expandable").hide();
                    $(this).siblings(".expandable").slideDown();
                }
            else
            {
                    $(".expandable").slideUp();
            }
            });
        });
    </script>
</head>
<body>
  <div>
   <h3 class="handler">One</h3>
   <ul class="expandable">
    <li>One</li>
    <li>Two</li>
    <li>Three</li>
    <li>Four</li>
    </ul>
  </div>
  <div>
   <h3 class="handler">Two</h3>
   <ul class="expandable">
    <li>One</li>
    <li>Two</li>
    <li>Three</li>
    <li>Four</li>
   </ul>
  </div>
  <div>
   <h3 class="handler">Three</h3>
   <ul class="expandable">
    <li>One</li>
    <li>Two</li>
    <li>Three</li>
    <li>Four</li>
   </ul>
  </div>
  <div>
   <h3 class="handler">Four</h3>
   <ul class="expandable">
    <li>One</li>
    <li>Two</li>
    <li>Three</li>
    <li>Four</li>
   </ul>
  </div>
 </body>
