I love creating User Interfaces (UI) and often times well need a section to...

proof that if you know the basic tech to the core, you don't always need frameworks, libraries, and all the other 'shiny' things 😉
There so much you can do with HTML and CSS!
There is also a place for shiny things but I'd always advocate using what the browser gives you for free first! :D
Yeah, reminds me of these two articles 😉👍
HTML can do that?
CSS can do that
Love this succinct article - very helpful and it shows that sometimes implementing elements in CSS and JS is overkill!
Thank you!
Hey - this is a little bit of a "hail Mary" since this post is 3 years old, but I've tried everything I can think of to get this to work and so maybe I should just ask!
I love this code - it's so simple and functions just as I wanted it to. However, when I implemented it on my site and wrapped a
<li>tag around the<span class="icon">, the rotate animation stopped working. I assume this is because the code is not looking for a li span.icon, it's looking for a span.icon that's nested directly within a summary tag only. However, I can't seem to edit the code to tell it to expect the li tag and rotate anyway. I've tried all kinds of variations to indicate parent, child, descendant relationships and it still refuses to rotate. I must be missing something obvious but I can't think what it is. Does that make sense? Do you know what the answer might be?Thank you so much!
Hey, I wouldn't recommend nesting the span in a li tag. As ifs not really indicating a list item.
I would look at wrapping the content you want in the li tag.
If you did want to do that however you could change the following in CSS.
Anywhere you see
summary span.iconchange it tosummary li>span.iconThe arrow indicates the span is a child of the li element 😊
Hope that helps
The tricky part of this piece is always the
heightof the invisible elements as well as the potential height when it's not visible.Yes, the times I've used it so far, its normally in a group of a few collapsible sections so I've never had to worry about the height too much as I use CSS flex :)
What tricks are you having with height? Maybe its something we could work through :D
Wow this is actually very handy.... Reduces the call for bootstrap or other frameworks classes
Thank you, this means alot!
I'm going to cover off plenty more in this series! 😀
be aware, the summary/details element is not as accessible as a well implemented accordion pattern.
Do you have any links or anything to read up on this? :)
Its semantic HTML elements, so I couldn't see much being better.
the first point is that it is not even a semantic HTML element for an accordion, it's much more a disclose widget (also mentioned here accessibleculture.org/articles/201...).
You can compare them at the WAI-ARIA practices site:
w3.org/TR/wai-aria-practices-1.1/#...

The article above also states some accessibility problems the screen readers have with details/summary element. I quote:

Thank you! Thats a really good note! :)
Hmm, I knew about this but I didn't think it had styling potential. If it's cross browser for evergreens then this is worth knowing for sure. Symantec and accessibility 🦾
Nice post + reference to Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy? Take all the ❤️🦄!
Thank you!
