Is it proper coding to use a spry accordian for a navigation bar

[DotCom]

the site im designing has allot of catagories and sub catagories and my goal is to lessen the time it takes to reach a specific link. Hence why i dont want to use a drop down menu. Too much time to hover and then click what you are looking for. I was going to use the accordian and then use bullet points as the nav link. That way everything is there all at once. No wait time, just point and click.


what are some problems i could face with this?
what would you do?
anything that can cause an issue please post.
any thoughts please post.
anything you wouldn't do relevant to what im asking please post!!!

<div class="AccordionPanelTab">Series 1</div>

<div class="AccordionPanelContent"><ul>

<div class="AccordionPanel">

<div class="AccordionPanelTab">Label 2</div>

<div class="AccordionPanelContent">Content 2</div>

From my understanding of what the accordion navigation is... I don't really see how it saves time? I've never used it but wouldn't you still have to click the top category to see it's subcategories? Seems like the only time it saves is keeping people from accidentally moving off a hover drop down and making it collapse. In my experience users tend to like drop down navigation. As long as it's done well it keeps everything grouped in a logical way and it keeps the page from being cluttered with alot of navigation links.

You're on the right track, but Spry isn't the way to go. Too much bloat, too much garbage code. We've seen way too many questions on this forum that start something like: "Help! My Spry menu..."
