No collapsing

By default, all accordion items can be collapsed. To prevent this behavior and always maintain one open item, add the collapsible: false option to the attribute.

<ul uk-accordion="collapsible: false">
  …
</ul>

<ul uk-accordion="multiple: true">

Set open items

To specify which items should be opened initially, add the .uk-open class to the item. You can also use this to open multiple items. Just make sure to add the option multiple: true to the uk-accordion attribute.

Note Alternatively, you can open a single item by adding the active: <index> option to the uk-accordion attribute, e.g. active: 1 to show the second element (the index is zero-based). Note that this will overwrite the uk-open class.

<ul uk-accordion>
  <li></li>
  <li class="uk-open"></li>
  <li></li>
</ul>
