Hi,

I have implemented Vertical Accordian Menu using CSS. Below is the code.
.accordion,
.accordion ul,
.accordion li,
.accordion a,
.accordion span {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
border: none;
outline: none;
}

.accordion li {
list-style: none;
}

.accordion li > a {
display: block;
position: relative;
min-width: 110px;
padding: 0 10px 0 40px;

color: #fdfdfd;
font: bold 12px/32px Arial, sans-serif;
text-decoration: none;
text-shadow: 0px 1px 0px rgba(0,0,0, .35);

background: #6c6e74;
background: -moz-linear-gradient(top,  #6c6e74 0%, #4b4d51 100%);
background: -webkit-gradient(linear, left top, left bottom, color-stop(0%,#6c6e74), color-stop(100%,#4b4d51));
background: -webkit-linear-gradient(top,  #6c6e74 0%,#4b4d51 100%);

text-shadow: 1px 1px 1px rgba(255,255,255, .2);

/*background: url(../img/active.png) repeat-x;*/
background: #a5cd4e;

.accordion li > .sub-menu {

overflow: hidden;

-webkit-transition: all .2s ease-in-out;
-moz-transition: all .2s ease-in-out;
-o-transition: all .2s ease-in-out;
-ms-transition: all .2s ease-in-out;
transition: all .2s ease-in-out;

}

.accordion li:target > .sub-menu {
height: auto;
}

I have a simple HTML which uses this CSS. I have achieved the functionality. But when i click on each link, page moves to top and selected menu remains on the top always.

Can you please paste this CSS along with the HTML in a Codepen ?
