Greetings,
Wondering what folks are pointing developers to for Accordions that work well on desktop and mobile web browsers / screen readers. Obviously we want keyboard accessible as well.
I like the Assets Framework but was wondering if there is a better example out there.
Best,

Deque University has a few
https://dequeuniversity.com/library/aria/tabpanels-accordions/
(I worked on about half of them).
I honestly think that any link or button with aria-expanded attribute
properly toggled is sufficient.

Yes aria-expanded on a button is really all you need. Here's a demo http://pauljadam.com/demos/aria-expanded.html <http://pauljadam.com/demos/aria-expanded.html>;
Bootstrap includes an accessible accordion, http://v4-alpha.getbootstrap.com/components/collapse/ <http://v4-alpha.getbootstrap.com/components/collapse/>;.

:" aria-expanded on a button is really all you need" ...with maybe the caveat that the content panel should be just after the triggering element, so that the expanded content is the next thing the user encounters.

Good point.
Ifthe content isnotimmadiately after the triggeringelement,
aria-controls should be used on the trigger to pointtothe content.
<buttonaria-expanded="true" aria-controls="cpanel1">text</button>
....somestuff goeshere...
<div id="cpanel1">content of panel goes here</div>
1. For this setup it is better to use an aria-labelledby on the
content panel pointing back to the button.
2.Screen reader support for aria-controls is nearly non-existent (Jaws
with FF and Narrator last time I checked, nothing else), so the
aria-labelledby implementation is marginally better.
Feel free to file bugs so wecankeep pushingthis issue with thevendors.
