Employing the <details></details> element for menus presents a compelling concept, though perhaps not ideal for production deployments. Further details regarding the <details></details> element and its limitations are provided below.

One of the most valuable skills for novice front-end developers learning JavaScript is the ability to manipulate CSS classes. By altering classes, developers gain significant control over page styling. Toggling a class enables different styles, offering a powerful method for dynamic UI updates.

However, the <details></details> HTML element offers a built-in toggle mechanism! This makes it exceptionally efficient for creating accordion-style interfaces.

Expanding this toggle-based approach, consider a user menu—essentially a single accordion. The same logic applies to modals. Utilizing <details></details> makes JavaScript optional for these interactive elements. This is precisely the approach GitHub adopted for its menus.

GitHub's implementation within the <details></details> element incorporates Web Components (requiring JavaScript) for enhanced features, but these are not essential for basic menu functionality. This ensures the menu remains robust and immediately interactive upon page rendering.

Mu-An Chiou, a web systems engineer at GitHub, led this initiative and has delivered a presentation detailing this approach.
