alt Hacker NewsYou can't actually control the open state properly from markup (the `open` attribute only sets the default state), which is why I haven't bothered with them.

If you specify the same name on each `details` element they behave like an accordion automatically [1], no need for JavaScript. If you set one of them to open that one will be initially open.

Out of curiosity, why have you needed to? This has never come up for me.

I’m not sure this is correct. The DOM class HTMLDetailsElement has the `open` property, which you can use to read/write the details element’s state. If you’re using setAttribute/getAttribute just switch to the property.
