## Overview

### The challenge

Users should be able to:

- Hide/Show the answer to a question when the question is clicked

- Navigate the questions and hide/show answers using keyboard navigation alone

- View the optimal layout for the interface depending on their device's screen size

- See hover and focus states for all interactive elements on the page

## My process

### Built with



  

  

  



### What I learned

To switch the icons I used the JavaScript code below. I tried to used the `btn.insertAdjacientHTML("afterend", minusIcon)` but the minus icon would be outside the `button` completely. I decided to stick to `beforeend` instead and implemented this code below:

```css

[aria-expanded="true"] .add {

  display: none;

}

.minus {

  display: none;

}

[aria-expanded="true"] .minus {

  display: block;

}

```

```js

btn.insertAdjacentHTML("beforeend", plusIcon);

btn.insertAdjacentHTML("beforeend", minusIcon);

```

### Useful resources
