Collapse
Collapse shows and hides content with a short animation. Point a button or link at the target with data-ui-toggle="collapse", keep aria-expanded and aria-controls in sync, and use it for read-more text, filter panels, sub-menus and expandable rows.
1Button toggle
A button with data-ui-toggle="collapse" shows and hides the target.
We combine strategy, design and technology to build brands that grow. We measure success by how many clients come back and tell their friends.
