jquery Accordion and flashing / jerking text

Question

I am using jQuery Accordion here and find some strange behavior when opening a section. The text jerks and looks dreadful for a second or so and then appears normally. This only happens when moving down and opening the next section. When I go the other way, the transition is smooth. Is there a setting that would remove this behavior?

Thanks.

Answer 1

I did two things to solve the problem:

1. I updated to 1.7.2 as suggested above.

2. I resolved some issues that caused the page to not validate.

This appears to have resolved the issue related to the upward motion.
