HTML <summary> Element
The <summary> tag is used in conjunction with the <details> tag to create an interactive widget that can be expanded or collapsed to show or hide content. When a user clicks on the summary element, the details element expands to reveal its content. This is commonly used for creating collapsible sections of content on a webpage.
Example:
<details>
<summary>Click me</summary>
<p>Hidden content here</p>
</details>
In the example above, clicking on the "Click me" text will reveal the paragraph "Hidden content here".
Attributes of the <summary> tag:
| Attribute | Description |
|---|---|
| accesskey | Specifies a shortcut key to activate the summary element |
| class | Defines one or more class names for an element (referencing a CSS style) |
| contenteditable | Specifies whether the content of the summary element is editable |
| dir | Specifies the text direction of the content within the element |
| hidden | Specifies that the element should be hidden |
| id | Specifies a unique id for the element |
| style | Specifies an inline CSS style for the element |
| tabindex | Specifies the tab order of an element |
| title | Specifies extra information about the element |
These attributes can be used to customize the appearance and behavior of the <summary> tag on a webpage.
