What are you most proud of, and what would you do differently next time?

I would have to say I am most proud of figuring out the JavaScript. Understanding how to use forEach loops, swap images and use addEventListeners.

document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', () => {
  const questions = document.querySelectorAll('.question');

  questions.forEach((question, index) => {
    const answer = document.getElementById(`answer${index + 1}`);
    const icon = question.querySelector('.toggle-icon');
//hide all answers on load
    const toggleAnswer = () => {
      if (answer.style.display === 'none') {
        answer.style.display = 'block';
        icon.src = 'https://github.com/myname/FAQ-Accordion/blob/main/assets/images/icon-minus.svg'; // Change to minus icon
      } else {
        answer.style.display = 'none';
        icon.src = 'https://github.com/myname/FAQ-Accordion/blob/main/assets/images/icon-plus.svg'; // Change to plus icon
      }
    };
//swaps the icon and shows the answer when clicked
    question.addEventListener('click', toggleAnswer);
//enter is pressed on the question the answer will toggle
    question.addEventListener('keydown', (event) => {
      if (event.key === 'Enter') {
        toggleAnswer();
      }
    });
  });
});

### What challenges did you encounter, and how did you overcome them?
One challenge I had was the path for swapping images in JavaScript will not display the images correctly in GitHub Pages. I had to retrieve the absolute path GitHub and use that in the JavaScript to get the images to render correctly.

### What specific areas of your project would you like help with?
I think I figured out everything I needed to on my own with internet resources.
