Receipt Roll

A stack of line items bound tightly at the top that, on toggle, unrolls downward like a continuous paper receipt — perforated edges, monospace totals and all — then rolls neatly back up. A delightful metaphor for order summaries.

## JavaScript
```js
/* No JavaScript — a checkbox animates grid-template-rows 0fr→1fr to unroll the receipt body, with a CSS mask cutting the perforated paper edge. */
```

How this works

The receipt body is wrapped in a grid-template-rows:0fr container that a hidden checkbox animates to 1fr, unrolling the rows with no height-auto jump. The paper look comes from a zig-zag mask/gradient perforation at the base and a subtle paper texture; each line item sits in a monospace two-column row. Collapsing rolls it back to just the header stub.

The toggle is a labelled checkbox with aria-expanded; the totals are real text for screen readers. Reduced-motion swaps the roll for an instant show/hide.

Make it yours

  • Change the unroll speed via the grid-rows transition.
  • Restyle the perforation mask (deeper zig-zag, rounded).
  • Swap the monospace face and paper colour.
  • Add or remove line-item rows freely.

Gotchas — read before shipping

  • Animate grid-template-rows 0fr→1fr, not height auto.
  • Keep the body overflow:hidden so it clips while rolled.
  • Label the toggle and reflect state to AT.
