jQuery Accordion definition list with multiple description items

Question

I can't seem to use jQuery Accordions with definition lists that have multiple desciption items (dd). The author's examples have only single dd items.

In the example below B2, B3 & C2 show onLoad, rather than hide like A1, B1 & C1 as I would prefer.

How would I achieve this?

jQuery('dl').accordion({ 
    event: 'click',     
    active: false, 
    animated: "bounceslide", 
    header: "dt" 
});​

<dl>

    <dt>A</dt>
    <dd>A1</dd>

    <dt>B</dt>
    <dd>B1</dd>
    <dd>B2</dd>
    <dd>B3</dd>

    <dt>C</dt>
    <dd>C1</dd>
    <dd>C2</dd>

</dl>

• demo: https://so.lucafilosofi.com/jquery-accordion-definition-list-with-multiple-description-items

$(function () {
    $('dt').on('click', function (e) {
        e.preventDefault();
        $(this).parent('dl').children('dd:visible').slideUp('slow');
        $(this).nextUntil('dt').filter(':not(:visible)').slideDown('slow');
    });
});

NOTE:

If you want multiple sections

open at once, don't use an accordion

• An accordion doesn't allow more than one content panel to be open at the same time, and it takes a lot of effort to do that. If you are looking for a widget that allows more than one content panel to be open, don't use this. Usually it can be written with a few lines of jQuery instead, something like this: REFERENCE: http://jqueryui.com/demos/accordion/

hope this help! ;)
