… and I went ahead and implemented <details> for the Need Help? bit on the Newton Glossary search page.

Chris Mackay 🇨🇦tantramar@mastodon.socialMay 30, 2025, 8:20 PM@splorp Huh; didn’t know this tag, either. I’ve only been writing HTML since 1994, though (I’m still a beginner).

Thomas Tempelmanntempelorg@iosdev.spaceMay 31, 2025, 10:47 AM@splorp Huh! That could then probably replace my JS-driven method of hiding the details on https://findanyfile.app/support.html
Will the details be findable when using Find in the browser, though? That's the one problem with my current JS-based solution- Thomas Tempelmanntempelorg@iosdev.spaceMay 31, 2025, 10:51 AM
@splorp Answer: Nope, Find doesn't see the hidden text when it's collapsed :(

@tempelorg That’s odd, because the hidden text still exists in the underlying HTML source. Must be getting removed from the DOM during presentation.
