I'm trying to build a horizontal accordion with Jquery. It seems to be working "ok" in Firefox. But in Webkit (Safari 3 + 4, and Chrome) the sub-level UL flashes after the Hide function. Any help would be greatly appreciated. To see a working demo: http://ableobject.com/horaccordion1.html
Here is what I'm working on:
