Sure, you can have content within the header also expand/ contract as its sub contents do. However, your headers would need to be something like DIV tags (and not <a> tags), as you can nest additional <a> tags within an <a> tag). So using the 1st menu example, which uses DIV headers, try adding the below as a standalone page:
Code:

<script type="text/javascript" src="jquery-1.2.2.pack.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="ddaccordion.js">

ddaccordion.init({
headerclass: "expandable", //Shared CSS class name of headers group that are expandable
contentclass: "categoryitems", //Shared CSS class name of contents group

Regular contents here. Header does not expand or contact.
</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
And use the attached modified ddaccordion.js file in place of the original. With it, any content with a CSS class of "showhide" within a header will also expand/contract as the sub contents do.
