This series is dedicated to helping you become a better designer or developer. Check out our HTML5/CSS3 Tutorials for more tips and tricks.
HTML5 offers a range of new tags, including figure, figcaption and aside. Of these, detail and summary tags are particularly useful for hiding lengthy content and displaying only the summary.
Many websites now feature interactive elements built on JavaScript or jQuery, which can be difficult to understand. However, the introduction of HTML elements such as ‘details’ and ‘summary’ make it easier for users to interact with these sites.
Tags can be used to illustrate a practical example. Let’s explore how.
This product offers a unique combination of features: users can create a ‘details’ tag and add content to it, as well as a ‘summary’ tag. This allows them to quickly and easily summarize their product description.
The MacBook Pro’s specifications were added to an example, and the browser’s rendering of those tags was then observed.
A new product demo has been designed to make it easier for customers to understand the details. The title and product descriptions have been added to make the demo more user-friendly. Is it successful?
Browser supports
Before implementing the details and summary tag across your website, be aware that it is only supported on Chrome 12 and above.
Firefox has yet to offer support for the latest features.
To ensure compatibility with older browsers, developers should include a fallback feature when using the tag. Fortunately, this is easily accomplished with a polyfill, which replicates the tag’s functionality for outdated browsers.
Attach the file to the HTML document, along with jQuery (version 1.7 or higher), and place the polyfill before the closing body tag.
For Internet Explorer 8 and earlier, a conditional tag must be added to the head section of the HTML document in order for it to recognize new HTML tags. Otherwise, these tags will not be recognized.
Internet Explorer 8 and earlier versions are not supported.
Internet Explorer users can now find out how their experience will be.
Software has been updated to be compatible with Internet Explorer.
Conclusion
Creating a hide-and-show effect with JavaScript or jQuery is relatively easy, but HTML5 natively supports it, making it a simpler solution for many. Whether you choose to use JavaScript or HTML5 is up to you.
