Anyone has a good sample on an accessible Details element that opens to show additional information and collapses to return to the link that expanded it?
Thank you.

Hi JP
There shouldn't be any focus movement with the details element. Activating
the summary element toggles the hide and show behavior. Since the details
and summary elements are not yet fully supported on all browsers they are
rarely used in the wild.

The <details> and <summary> elements are not well supported by browsers
[1]. If you need a disclosure widget it may be better to create a custom
implementation, using the <button> element and suitable scripting [2].
