using text links to open accordion panel

How do I use text links (from the page's main menu) to programatically open a
particular panel.
here is the page: http://debrankin.com/tee/SITEDESIGN/
for example: I want to click on "Resumes and Cover Letters" in the left hand
menu to open the first accordion panel (by the same name). I have this set this
page so that all panels are closed initially.

i know i'm missing something because this obviously does not work: i've looked
for documentation and this issue is inadequately addressed!



<!-- here is the left menu - only first link -->

<ul>
<li><a href="#" onclick="accordion1.openPanel(0)">Resumes and Cover
Letters</a></li>
<li><a href="#" onclick="accordion1.openPanel(1)">Job and Scholarship
Applications</a></li>
<li><a href="#" onclick="accordion1.openPanel(2)">web content</a></li>
<li><a href="#" onclick="accordion1.openPanel(3)">Writing Projects, Essays
and Articles</a></li>
<li>Academic Papers<br />
<br />
</li>
</ul><script type="text/javascript">
var accordion1 = new Spry.Widget.Accordion("Accordion1");
</script>
