Question

Hello I have this siple accordion, and I have an issue, that whenever i copy text from accordion, click event listener triggers and closes the accordion. I would like to make it work without using jQuery

How could I fix it? and how would I make it , so when i click somewhere else than on .question / .answer it would close automaticaly? i tried adding event listener to window, but after a long time of not figuring out how to makeit work I gave up.

const accordion = document.querySelectorAll(".content-container");

for(let i=0;i<accordion.length;i++){
  accordion[i].addEventListener("click", function (){
   if(this.classList.contains("active")){
      accordion.forEach((panel)=>panel.classList.remove("active"));
   }else{
      accordion.forEach((panel)=>panel.classList.remove("active"));
      this.classList.add("active");

.accordion{
    margin: 0 auto;
    width: 60%;
    border-color: #fff;
    padding: 2rem;

// js styling link

.accordion .content-container.active{
    .question{

        &::after{
            content: "-";
            font-size: 2rem;

        }

    .answer{

I would be very happy to see the solutions so I could move on from this spot. Thank you for any advices.

you need to learn a bit about event delegation...

const
  accordion   = document.querySelector('.accordion')
, accordionEl = accordion.querySelectorAll('.content-container')
  ;
accordion.onclick = ({target: elmAcc}) =>
  {
  if (!elmAcc.matches('.content-container > div.question')) return // select only this div

  let elContainer = elmAcc.closest('.content-container')

  if (elContainer.classList.toggle('active'))
    accordionEl.forEach( panel => panel.classList.toggle('active', panel===elContainer))
  }
  
// clicking outside will close accordion :
document.addEventListener('click', event =>
  {
  if (!accordion.contains(event.target)) 
    accordionEl.forEach( panel => panel.classList.remove('active'))
  });

.accordion {
  margin        : 0 auto;
  width         : 60%;
  border-color  : #fff;
  padding       : 2rem;
  border-radius : 30px;
  }
.accordion-title {
  margin-bottom : 2rem;
  text-align    : center;
  }
.accordion .content-container .question {
  padding       : 1rem 0;
  font-size     : 22px;
  cursor        : pointer;
  border-bottom : 1px solid #000;
  position      : relative;
  }
.accordion .content-container .question::after {
  content  : "+";
  position : absolute;
  right    : -5px;
  }
.accordion .answer {
  padding-top : 1rem;
  font-size   : 22px;
  line-height : 1.5;
  width       : 100%;
  height      : 0px;
  overflow    : hidden;
  transition  : all 0.5s;
  }
.accordion .content-container.active .question::after {
  content    : "-";
  font-size  : 2rem;
  transition : 0.5s;
  }
.accordion .content-container.active .answer {
  height : 150px;
  }
