Hi everyone - I was wondering how it would be possible for me to create a FAQ with drop-down answers when the question is clicked?
For example: https://www.facebook.com/help/?page=1145
Facebook has something like that available.
Any ideas?

Here is another example that I managed to find: http://www.thereconnection.com/faq

Slight modification from last post to include a bit more JS and some CSS.
Only advantage is that click on question box shows/hides the answer
and the box makes it easier to know where to put cursor for mouse click.

This has the up/down arrows functionality like on Fb.

This is probably more like that I'm looking for. Thank you very much. Just a little modifications that I have to make, and then I should be good to go.

You should substitute you own images (and path)
