the above code i've put raw html code box on 1 page of wordpress site. here's link: compactcourse.com/sloths

as can see, jquery accordions don't normal format should like. if paste code above raw html editor, preview show how should normally. ideas why screwing up?

some of website's css interfering jquery-ui css. of css rules used site's theme more specific , therefore overwrite of css rules being imported link tag @ top of html code.

that explain why code looks fine in raw html editor (which not loading additional resources / stylesheets) not on site. need track down css theme interfering , alter either markup or css accordingly.

here few guides / primers concept of css specificity:

• css tricks
• smashing mag
• nettuts

edit: obvious problem see margin on bottom of accordion's h3 headings daniel pointed out in answer. code theme css causing problem this:

div.entry-content h3, div.entry-content h4,  div.entry-content h5, div.entry-content h6 {      margin: 0 0 15px;  } 

to fix need overwrite margin h3 tags within accordion. adding css rule page should it:

#notaccordion h3 {      margin-bottom: 0;  } 

you can either put in between <style></style> tags or add 1 of external stylesheets loaded theme on page. former rather sloppy method page's code pretty horrible cobbled-together codepasta nightmare standards perspective wouldn't making things worse.
