First we need to write the scripts like this:
//reference this javascripts every time if needs
And then we also need to write the html like this:
<div id="accordion">
<div>
<a href="#">First headera>
<div>First contentdiv>
div>
<div>
<a href="#">Second headera>
<div>Second contentdiv>
div>
div>

This is call "Write Less On Server"!
