I drag it in and does didlly squat double clicking does nothing and the edit area remains blank, the only place it works is in advanced and pasted into the css classes again where it does nothing but print out on the screen. I am trying to get the accordion to open on hover in just one instance. I have three on the page and I want just the first accordion to open on hover, how can this be achieved please?

The bot gave me a script which I am unable use as there is no where to paste it.

You can add custom HTML to your page by using a custom component. Here’s a link to the manual with step-by-step instructions on how to do it:

> **[Custom Components | RapidWeaver Elements Docs](https://docs.realmacsoftware.com/elements-docs/elements-app/components/custom-components)**
>
> Extend RapidWeaver by creating your very own custom Components

Let me know if you have any more questions or need more help getting it to work 🙂
