Getting accordion to work with internet explorer / edge

  • I need to be able to display a list of events (collapsed) and have users be able to expand the details. I thought that the accordion block was the way to do it, but then I found out the little chevron / triangle / arrow doesn’t appear in some browsers. So I added “click for details” in blue, underlined, to look like a link. (The whole line is actually a link, so I don’t think that’s really cheating.) Then I found out it doesn’t work at all in microsoft browsers.

    I’ve spent some time searching, but all the solutions seem to involve javascript, (I don’t know javascript.) separate css sheets, (I don’t have access to edit the css sheets.) or plugins. (I don’t have access to download plugins.)

    I’m hoping someone can point out a way to get accordion blocks to work with all browsers, or a way to code collapsible detail areas with html or in-line css. Or at the least, I don’t want to report that I can’t do this without exhausting all avenues.

  • It seems that the accordion has been made using Coblocks plugin.

    I see that accordion is working with the latest version of MS Edge

    I see a similar discussion on the Coblocks plugin forums here:
    https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/accordion-ie-edge-browsers/

    It is likely that older versions of IE and MS Edge (before it was moved to Chromium browser base), would still have issues with Jquery scripts that run effects like Accordions. However later version of browsers should make this run fine.

    I recommend creating a topic on the plugin’s specific support forum here:

    I had no idea coblocks was a plugin. I can’t even view a list of installed plugins. If I need any more help, I will post on the plugin’s page. The similar discussion you linked to led me to a possible solution. I finally found the setting to enable edge support with polyfil. I’m on an android tablet, but I’ll test later when I have access to a PC. I’ll post back later with the results. If it’s not resolved, I’ll move over to the coblocks forum. Thank you!
