bootstrap v3 accordion

Was banging my head on the wall for hours trying to figure out a bug in Bootstrap's accordion component. I followed the example code in the Bootstrap doc, but for some reason, the accordion would only toggle once. So if it was initially open, then I could collapse it, but clicking on it again, wouldn't open it. If the accordion was initially closed, I could open it (once), but then clicking on it again wouldn't close it.

For newbies like me, please note that When using multiple @import's, you need to have a semi-colon after each @import line, or else you'll see errors…Read more …

Since I already have macports and the latest Xcode installed (along with its command lines tools), I started the installation process off by running : \curl -L https://get.rvm.io | bash -s stable --rails --autolibs=enabled However, running that gave me this error message: curl: (60) SSL certificate problem: self signed certificate in certificate chain More details here: http://curl.haxx.se/docs/sslcerts.html I tried a bunch of options…Read more …
