How to create expandable FAQ page in HTML?

Here a possible approach:

<html><body><script>

function toggleElement(id)
{
    if(document.getElementById(id).style.display == 'none')
    {
        document.getElementById(id).style.display = '';
    }
    else
    {
        document.getElementById(id).style.display = 'none';
    }
}
</script>
<p>
<a href="javascript:toggleElement('a1')">Is this a question?</a>
</p>
<div id="a1" style="display:none">
This is an answer.
</div>
</body>
</html>

Simple example using jQuery:

JavaScript/jQuery

<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){
    $('.faqlink').click(function(){
        $('.content').hide();
        $(this).next('.content').show();
    });
});
</script>

CSS

<style type="text/css">
.content {
    display: hidden;
}
</style>

HTML

<h2>My FAQ</h2>
<a class="faqlink" href="#">Link 1</a>
<div class="content">lorem ipsum</div>
<a class="faqlink" href="#">Link 2</a>
<div class="content">lorem ipsum</div>
<a class="faqlink" href="#">Link 3</a>
<div class="content">lorem ipsum</div>

Well, have the answers in a div container each below the question.

The divs will have display:hidden attribute by default.

Upon clicking on the links, this CSS style will be removed with JavaScript.

Something like this with Query (needs testing for typos etc.):

$(function()

  { $("a[name='Question1']").click(function()

    { $("div[name='Answer1']").removeClass("answer-hidden"); }); });
