"Disguise" checkbox field as "jquery accordion"

    Hi there,
    is it somehow possible to "disguise" a checkbox field as a jquery accordion heading/field? Basically I would like to use conditional logic on a section called "Project Details". This section is only shown when checkbox field "Would you like to add any detailed information" is checked. Now that does not look very elegant. I woud rather have an accordion style heading "Project Details" with a plus sign (or arrow to the side) at the end of the line. Once clicked on the heading the "conditional logic" gets activated and all the fields in the section "Project Details" are shown.
    How can I go about getting the desired effect? Is Conditional Logic here the best approach or should I go down the road of JQuery?
    Has anyone solved a similar situation?

    Hi Sascha, I have had a thought about how you could achieve this, if this is the same form your slider is on, since you are loading jquery ui you could turn your check box into a button http://jqueryui.com/demos/button/#checkbox

    The button options could then be modified to add your plus icon or arrow and the CSS customised to make it however wide you want and reduce the margins to bring the section closer to the bottom edge of the button to give it more of an accordion appearance.
