FAQ accordion using summary tag and JavaScript to add behaviors
Design comparison
Solution retrospective
Hello, FEM community! It's been a while since I last shared a solution, but I'm excited to present my approach to the FAQ accordion challenge. ðĨģ
During my exploration of various methods to implement an accordion, I stumbled upon the HTML <summary> tag â a fortunate discovery as I was initially searching for ways to create an accordion without relying on JavaScript. ð
However, I eventually incorporated JavaScript into my solution to achieve the desired behavior of having only one accordion tab open at any given time. ð Additionally, I utilized JavaScript to enhance the animation of the accordion. ð
Here's a breakdown of some of the expected behavior: ð
- Upon loading the page, the second question/tab will automatically open, with the orange box smoothly sliding to the left while the arrow rotates upwards.
- When opening a new tab while another remains active, the active tab will gracefully close, keeping the orange box positioned on the left.
- Upon closing a tab, the box will elegantly slide to the right, accompanied by a downward rotation of the arrow.
While I acknowledge that these animations might not be essential to the functionality, I couldn't resist the opportunity to experiment with them. Admittedly, the animation may not appear as seamless as I envisioned. ðĪŠ
I'm open to any feedback, suggestions for improvement, or insights that could aid me in future projects. Specifically, I'd greatly appreciate guidance on refining the animations for a smoother effect. In addition, I'm interested in receiving overall feedback regarding the entirety of the challenge. Your input will undoubtedly contribute to my growth as a developer. ð
Thanks ð
