Re: Accessibility of Details Element

Hi Shiva,

I'm just going to dump some resources and say "it depends on what you mean by accessible. There are known issues, but the details/summary can be appropriate to use in some cases."

Dear listers,

Is there any documentation on whether HTML "details" element is accessible?

If possible, it would be great if you could also point to any testing
done with screen reader and browser combination.

For the context, my dev team is considering replacing our existing
"accordion" element with "details", and is not sure if the "details"
element meets different WCAG success criteria.

Any thoughts/hints would be much appreciated

Shivaji
