  • Accordion Groups are a standard way of displaying lengthy Forms in Joomla. Forms will show only one Group of Elements at a time, closing the existing open Group when you open a different Group.

    Fabrik 3.0 :
    Presuming your form has an id of 1 then create a 1.js file in components/com_fabrik/js and enter the following Javascript into the file:
    Javascript: 
    window.addEvent('domready', function() {
    var handles = document.getElements('legend');
    var Elements = document.getElements('fieldset > ul, fieldset > .fabrikSubGroup');
    var myAccordion = new Fx.Accordion(handles , Elements);
});
    Each group heading when clicked on will hide the other Groups content and show its own - see Mootools Accordion documentation.

    You may need to tweak your form template to ensure a minimum height for each fieldset:
    CSS: 
    fieldset {
    min-height:21px;
}
