HTML <details> Tag with the 'open' Attribute
<details open>
<p>If your browser supports this element, you will be able to expand and collapse these details.</p>
<p>You can click the summary again to collapse.</p>
</details>
The above example demonstrates how to use the open
attribute on the <details>
element.
The open
attribute allows you to specify whether the details should be open (visible to the user) or closed (hidden from the user).
The open
attribute is a boolean attribute. Therefore, if the attribute is present, its value must either be the empty string or a value that is an ASCII case-insensitive match for the attribute's canonical name, with no leading or trailing whitespace (i.e. either open
or open="open"
).
Possible values:
- [Empty string]
- open
