Building an Interactive FAQ: A Step-by-Step Guide to HTML Implementation
Developing an interactive FAQ can be made easy using the <details> in HTML.
The <details> tag is often used to create an interactive widget that the user can open and close. By default, the widget is closed. When open, it expands, and displays the content within.
Any sort of content can be put inside the <details> tag.
Consider the below sample HTML with <details>
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
<title>Document</title>
</head>
<body>
<details>
<summary>How to create a FAQ in webpage?</summary>
<p> FAQ can be created using a details tag and a summary tag, Summary refers to the answer to the question!! </p>
</details>
</body>
</html>When the user clicks on the widget or focuses it then presses the space bar, it “twists” open, revealing its contents. The common use of a triangle which rotates or twists around to represent opening or closing the widget is why these are sometimes called “twisty”.
<details> supports Global Attributes and Event Attributes in HTML.
<details open>We can also display<details> box in its open state, by just adding the Boolean open attribute as above.
We can also style the <details> using the CSS, JS as per our requirement.
Finally, The <details> tag specifies additional details that the user can open and close on demand which makes us easy to develop FAQ similar widgets on a webpage.
