<h3>FAQ</h3>

<details open>
<summary>Why is it called an accordion menu?</summary>
<hr />
<p>
Because each part of it can expand and contract, like in an accordion. If
you don't know what an accordion is, just imagine a cute fluffy cat. You
still won't know what it is, but at least you'll feel better about not
knowing.

<p>Huh.</p>

<details>
<summary>If I use an accordion menu will it make me cool?</summary>
<hr />
<p>
No, not unless you're designing a MySpace profile. The
<code>{"details"}</code> element is cool though, and you can use that for
a lot of things. I'm using it on this page right below here, to show the
code for each example!

Attributes

Dataset

<td data-row="1" data-column="1"></td>
function onChange(event) {
const {
currentTarget: {
dataset: { row, column },
},
} = event
}

Global Attributes

Global attributes are attributes common to all HTML elements, they can be used on all elements, though they may have no effect on some elements:

  • accesskey.
  • autocapitalize.
  • autofocus.
  • contenteditable: boolean.
  • dir.
  • draggable.
  • enterkeyhint.
  • hidden: boolean.
  • inert.
  • inputmode.
  • is.
  • itemid.
  • itemprop.
  • itemref.
  • itemscope.
  • itemtype.
  • lang.
  • nonce.
  • popover.
  • spellcheck: boolean.
  • style.
  • tabindex.
  • title.
  • translate.
  • on* event handler content attributes.
tip

DOM defines the user agent requirements for the class, id, and slot attributes for any element in any namespace. The class, id, and slot attributes may be specified on all HTML elements.

HTML Attributes and DOM Properties

DOM Properties Differences

HTML attributes vs DOM properties differs in:

  • HTML serialization: attributes serialize to HTML, whereas properties don't.
  • Value types: attribute values are always strings, whereas properties can be any type.
  • Case sensitivity: attribute names are case-insensitive, whereas property names are case-sensitive.
// 1. HTML serialization:
const div = document.createElement('div')

div.setAttribute('foo', 'bar')
div.hello = 'world'

console.log(div.outerHTML) // '<div foo="bar"></div>'

// 2. Value types:
const div = document.createElement('div')
const obj = { foo: 'bar' }

div.setAttribute('foo', obj)
console.log(typeof div.getAttribute('foo')) // 'string'
console.log(div.getAttribute('foo')) // '[object Object]'

div.hello = obj
console.log(typeof div.hello) // 'object'
console.log(div.hello) // { foo: 'bar' }

// 3. Case sensitivity:
// <div id="test" HeLlO="world"></div>
const div = document.querySelector('#test')

console.log(div.getAttributeNames()) // ['id', 'hello']

div.setAttribute('FOO', 'bar')
console.log(div.getAttributeNames()) // ['id', 'hello', 'foo']

div.TeSt = 'value'
console.log(div.TeSt) // 'value'
console.log(div.test) // undefined

DOM properties come with validation and defaults, whereas HTML attributes don't:

  • Omit invalid value: input.type.
  • Normalize boolean value: details.open.
  • Convert incoming value to number and coerce negative values to 0: img.height.
// Omit invalid type:
const input = document.createElement('input')

console.log(input.getAttribute('type')) // null
console.log(input.type) // 'text'

input.type = 'number'

console.log(input.getAttribute('type')) // 'number'
console.log(input.type) // 'number'

input.type = 'foo'

console.log(input.getAttribute('type')) // 'foo'
console.log(input.type) // 'text'

// Normalize non-empty string to true value:
const details = document.querySelector('details')

console.log(details.getAttribute('open')) // ''
console.log(details.open) // true

details.open = false

console.log(details.getAttribute('open')) // null
console.log(details.open) // false

details.open = 'hello'

console.log(details.getAttribute('open')) // ''
console.log(details.open) // true

DOM Properties Reflection

For convenience, most specs will create a property equivalent for every defined attribute. Here's the spec for <ol>. The Content attributes section defines the HTML attributes (reversed, start, type), and the DOM interface defines the DOM properties:

interface OListElement extends HTMLElement {
reversed: boolean
start: long
type: DOMString
};

If attribute (e.g foo=bar) isn't a spec-defined attribute, then there isn't a spec-defined foo property that reflects it:

const div = document.querySelector('div[foo=bar]')

console.log(div.getAttribute('foo')) // 'bar'
console.log(div.foo) // undefined

div.foo = 'hello world'

console.log(div.getAttribute('foo')) // 'bar'
console.log(div.foo) // 'hello world'
input.defaultValue and input.value property

input.defaultValue property reflects HTML value attribute, input.value property doesn't reflect any attribute:

class HTMLInputElement extends HTMLElement {
get defaultValue() {
return this.getAttribute('value') ?? ''
}

set defaultValue(newValue) {
this.setAttribute('value', String(newValue))
}

#value = undefined

get value() {
return this.#value ?? this.defaultValue
}

set value(newValue) {
this.#value = String(newValue)
}

// This happens when the associated form resets
formResetCallback() {
this.#value = undefined
}
}

// <input type="text" value="default" />
const input = document.querySelector('input')

console.log(input.getAttribute('value')) // 'default'
console.log(input.value) // 'default'
console.log(input.defaultValue) // 'default'

input.defaultValue = 'new default'

console.log(input.getAttribute('value')) // 'new default'
console.log(input.value) // 'new default'
console.log(input.defaultValue) // 'new default'

// Here comes the mode switch:
input.value = 'hello!'

console.log(input.getAttribute('value')) // 'new default'
console.log(input.value) // 'hello!'
console.log(input.defaultValue) // 'new default'

input.setAttribute('value', 'another new default')

console.log(input.getAttribute('value')) // 'another new default'
console.log(input.value) // 'hello!'
console.log(input.defaultValue) // 'another new default'

Self-Closing Tags

Self-closing tags (<tag />) do not exist in HTML. If a trailing / (slash) character is present in the start tag of an HTML element, HTML parsers ignore that slash character:

<div>This text is inside the div.</div>
<div />This text is inside the div.

<input />This text is outside the input.
<input>This text is outside the input.</input>

  • Void elements in HTML.
  • Self-closing tags in JSX.
  • Self-closing tags in Svelte.

Accessibility Best Practice

A11y audit list:

  • Keyboard-only navigation.
  • Voice control.
  • Screen reader.
  • High contrast mode.
  • Dark mode.
  • Browser zoom.
  • Don't use aria-hidden on the <body> element.
  • Complete meta header:
    • Add missing languages.
    • Make sure document has a title element.
    • Tool: react-helmet.
  • Fix low text contrast: 确保文本与其背景保持足够的对比.
  • 不要将颜色作为传达信息的唯一手段 (色盲/弱).
  • Add missing alternative text.
  • Remove empty links and buttons.
  • 注意表单:
    • Add missing labels.
    • 提供输入焦点的视觉提示.
  • 避免组件识别障碍.
  • Make sure IDs and Keys of elements are unique.
  • Required context role.
  • Required aria attribute.
  • Valid aria attribute.
