Re: building accessible javascript accordions?

Very interesting discussion.

If a button (accordion) causes a section of a page to be displayed (or
hidden) should you advise a screen reader user that this is going to happen?
This would clearly seem to be a good idea, but I am curious to know where a
failure to provide this information would sit in WCAG 2.0. I can see how
knowing if something is selected or not (or expanded/collapsed) falls under
4.1.2, but what about providing advanced warning of this behaviour?

Thanks,

Roger
