WAI-ARIA APG Disclosure Pattern
Documents disclosure as a button-controlled show-hide widget with collapsed and expanded content states, Enter and Space activation, expanded state, and optional controlled-content association.
Pattern Decisions This Source Supports
| Pattern | Supported decision | Required contract | Claim note |
|---|---|---|---|
| Disclosure / details | Choose disclosure details for one short optional explanation that belongs directly beside the content it clarifies. | Activating the summary toggles only the one content region controlled by that disclosure. | APG defines the disclosure show-hide widget, button state, and Enter or Space activation. |
| Expandable row | Choose expandable row when the main surface is a table or list and the extra content is owned by one row. | The expand control names the affected row, exposes expanded state, and controls only that row's detail region. | APG disclosure guidance supports expanded state, button semantics, and Enter or Space activation. |
