    </h3>
    <div id="a1" class="eqd-accordion__content">
      <p>
        Accordions on your website include important information. Everyone should be able to access this information, even if they do not use a typical keyboard and mouse to browser your website. Many laws around the world also require websites to be accessible, including accordion components.

      <button

        Do accordions need buttons?
      </button>
    </h3>
    <div id="a2" class="eqd-accordion__content" hidden>
      <p>
        Yes, HTML buttons are necessary for screen reader and keyboard only users to be able to open and close the accordion.
      </p>

    <h3 class="eqd-accordion__heading">
      <button

        Do accordions need headings?
      </button>
    </h3>
    <div id="a3" class="eqd-accordion__content" hidden>
      <p>
        Yes. Headings are very important for screen reader users to be able to understand and quickly navigate the content. All button text should be contained in a heading tag of the appropriate level (H2, H3, H4, etc.) as makes sense in the outline of your page. Adding a button role to a heading removes the heading from the heading list in screen readers, which is an accessibility failure. You need both a heading tag wrapped around a button tag.

     <h3 class="eqd-accordion__heading">
      <button
        type="button"

        aria-expanded="false"
        aria-controls="a4"
      >
        Can I use the details element instead?
      </button>
    </h3>
    <div id="a4" class="eqd-accordion__content" hidden>
      <p>
        No. The HTML details element is only intended for standalone use and not as a grouped element. It does not support the use of headings and thus cannot be used in place of an accordion.
