Hey! Congratulations on completing this challenge.
I noticed you used
h4for the heading, but it's important not to skip heading levels because screen readers users use them to navigate through the page. So, I'd suggest changing them to anh1and anh2and resizing them using CSS.About the CSS, removing the fixed height and width from the container makes your project more similar to the design.

I attempted to create an accessible accordion. To achieve this, I used the

Additionally, I utilized components to construct the HTML.Making the accordion accessible was very challenging. For the first time, I used some new elements and tried to link these elements together, while also adopting a component-based approach. Additionally, I tried to use a background image for the page with the

Since there was an overlap with the content, I used a grid layout to resolve this issue.I think the area where I need the most help is accessibility. One problem with accessibility is that the screen reader NVDA I used does not read content in Firefox, and I’m not sure why. Initially, when I did not use
aria-polite, it did not read the content after expanding, even though I havearia-expandedin my code and linked mysummaryto the content witharia-controls. I want to know how I can solve this and what the problem in my code might be.@AnaCarol2001Hey, good job with your solution!
About your accessibility concerns, since you used the
detailsandsummarytags, you don't need thearia-expandedandaria-controlsbecausedetailsalready provide an accessible description.I don't know much about screen readers. So, after testing your project and comparing it to the
detailsexamples provided by MDN docs with NVDA in Firefox, it seems to work as expected. The screen reader announces that it is clickable, and when clicked, it announces that it's expanded, and with the arrow down key or NVDA+downArrowKey, you can keep reading and access the information.As far as I know, the screen reader shouldn't read the content immediately but announce the element's state (collapsed or not collapsed), and the user will keep reading.

@AnaCarol2001Hey, great job with your solution!
My only suggestion is regarding accessibility. Since you used span elements as the rating options, it's impossible to navigate between them using the keyboard (Tab to focus, arrow keys to choose an option, and Enter key to select/submit). So, instead, you could use radio buttons, which have these functionalities native implemented, and get the selected value from the submitted form. You can check this Star Rating example from the Web Accessibility Initiative to get an idea.
