My process

Built with

• Semantic HTML5 markup
• CSS custom properties
• Flexbox
• Mobile-first workflow
• JavaScript

What I learned

This was such a great project to practice Javascript and DOM events, which I needed a refreshed on. I also learnt to use the html

and

elements, which are great but it did take some work to figure out the selectors for the js script file.

Useful resources

The MDN page on HTMLDetailsElement: toggle event, was a valuable resource. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/HTMLDetailsElement/toggle_event
