FAQ Accordion – Accessible, Responsive Accordion with Vanilla JS

What are you most proud of, and what would you do differently next time?

I’m most proud that the expanding behavior pushes content down as expected (instead of shifting awkwardly).

Next time, I would add smooth transitions to the accordion content using CSS animations or max-height transitions for a better user experience.

What challenges did you encounter, and how did you overcome them?

The most frustrating issue was the accordion content pushing up rather than down on toggle. This was due to incorrect layout structure or positioning interfering with normal flow. I fixed it by ensuring the container remained in the document flow (no absolute positioning), and using semantic HTML elements with proper spacing.

What specific areas of your project would you like help with?

I’d appreciate feedback on:

• Whether my accordion logic is accessible and robust enough
• Any suggestions for animating content expansion smoothly while keeping accessibility intact
