Wiki: http://www.w3.org/wiki/HTML/Elements/details

If you’d like to use the details element and don’t know where to start, take a look at html5doctor’s little tutorial: http://html5doctor.com/the-details-and-summary-elements/

How to Use

The polyfill is a small CSS file and this simple javascript file. Include these where you see fit:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="build/details-expander.css">
<script src="build/details-expander.min.js"></script>

Dependancies

No dependancies like jQuery however I do recommend using Modernizr for the feature detect of elem-details. Because I didn't want to include the entire Modornizr library I'm only including the feature detect code as a sperate file. Include this about the actual polyfill js file (build/details-expander.min.js).

<script src="build/has-details.min.js"></script>

All credit for this feature detect goes to @mathiasbynens who created it. Find it here along with his own jQuery polyfill for the details element: http://mathiasbynens.be/notes/html5-details-jquery
