I'm brand new to jquery, and I need a little help with this simple
accordion menu code:

$(document).ready(function(){
$("dd:not(:first)").hide();
$("dt a").click(function(){
$("dd:visible)").slideUp("slow");
$(this).parent().next().slideDown("slow");
return false;
});

});

The html is like this:

<dt><a href="/">Section</a></dt>
<dd>
<ul>
<li><a href="url">Item</a></li>

And so on...

It works nicely, but I don't know how to make it so that when you
click on a section title that is ALREADY open, it will close instead.
At the moment, it will close and then slide open again.

I'm sure there's a simple condition that will fix it, but I'm shooting
in the dark at the moment and can't seem to do it.
Any help much appreciated.
