Pure CSS collapse/expand div

by

Depending on what browsers/devices you are looking to support, or what you are prepared to put up with for non-compliant browsers you may want to check out the <summary> and <detail> tags. They are for exactly this purpose. No css is required at all as the collapsing and showing are part of the tags definition/formatting.

I’ve made an example here:

<details>
<summary>This is what you want to show before expanding</summary>
<p>This is where you put the details that are shown once expanded</p>
</details>

Browser support varies. Try in webkit for best results. Other browsers may default to showing all the solutions. You can perhaps fallback to the hide/show method described above.
