It doesn’t appear to be possible to interact with `[details]` macros in the preview when composing a topic. You _can_ interact with spoiler text, though. This is an issue where you’re composing a post which includes a lot of information in a `[details]` macro – like a long list – as you can’t ensure that you’ve got it right prior to publication without temporarily removing or “breaking” the `[details]` macro. ---

Works for me in the posts once saved, but not in preview. Works in: - Edge 25.10586 Doesn’t work in: - Firefox 49 (Developer Edition) - Chrome 54 (Canary) It looks as though this is built using the `
` element, which has [just been preffed on in Firefox 49](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/details). In Edge, which doesn’t natively support the behaviour of `
` and ``, there are `click` and `keydown` event handlers attached to the `` element. Are these handlers perhaps being inappropriately attached in Firefox and Chrome in the preview mode, resulting in double-handling of the behaviour? Or are they perhaps not being attached at all, and a browser bug in both Firefox and Chrome means these elements don’t behave as expected in the preview’s context? ---

I’ve seen it working in the _preview_ area in all recent Firefox. But I’m not running a bleeding edge. I’ve tested today with FF 46 and 47. ---

> [@elijah](#): > > I’ve tested today with FF 46 and 47. Yeah – my guess is that this is a bug related to the fact that the `
` element is now fully supported from Firefox 49; it’s likely that Discourse is applying a workaround for older versions which will no longer be relevant when Fx49 reaches stable in a month or two. ---

Just pushed a fix 🌵 The issue was that we were preventing all clicks in the preview… [https://github.com/discourse/discourse/commit/e848c336bbbebbe035a5998baded6fbb68a06037](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/commit/e848c336bbbebbe035a5998baded6fbb68a06037) ---

Do polls use links for their clicks? Might be something to test if it doesn’t. Not sure you want people clicking that in the Preview window. ---

Nope. Polls use customized `
  • ` elements 😉 ---
