Collapsible default icons

Jeff Witt

• Can we use the animated +/- icon(s) used under Market-driven curriculum here: https://business.edx.org/products/microbootcamps for expand/collapse widgets more generally (to disambiguate vs. the down-pointing-carret used for <select>-type listboxes)?

Notes:

• [Adam] Collapsible used to have +/- icons.

  • It was changed to use the current up/down carets in September 2021 (JIRA ticket & PR). I don’t have context into why this design decision was made.

a11y rules for hyperlinks

Jeff Witt

• Working with Eugene, I have new rules for links:

  • opens in new tab (internal or external) gets box with NE arrow

  • External link (same tab) gets NE arrow without box

  • File download (link having download attribute) gets download icon.
