HTMLDetailsElement: name property
Baseline 2024
Newly available
Since September 2024, this feature works across the latest devices and browser versions. This feature might not work in older devices or browsers.
The name property of the HTMLDetailsElement interface reflects the name attribute of <details> elements. It enables multiple <details> elements to be connected together, where only one for the <details> elements can be open at once. This allows developers to easily create UI features such as accordions without scripting.
The name attribute specifies a group name — give multiple <details> elements the same name value to group them. Only one of the grouped <details> elements can be open at a time — opening one will cause another to close. If multiple grouped <details> elements are given the open attribute, only the first one in the source order will be rendered open.
Value
A string. The empty string if the element is not part of any group.
