Making text appear below a link?

[Samuël van Laere]

I've seen it on some site, though i can't remember where at.
I don't think it used javascript, nor anchors but i'm not sure.
What happened was the following:
One could click a link, like in a FAQ list.
And the answer would show up below the clicked link.
I believe it also disapeared after re-clicking that same link.

Any idea's what i'm after or what it is called?

You're probably after an anchor:

<a href="#anchor">Go to anchor</a>

<a name="anchor">Here is the anchor</a>

Note that you could also refer to an id instead.

I'm sure it was not a anchor, the page never jumped to a different location.
Perhaps i'll find it again, then i'll know for sure.


Thanks anyway.

Probably a simple "onclick" routine. Replacing the text with blank space.
Or changing the text color to that of the background and making it appear to
have disappeared.

It should technically be possible without JavaScript, using the :active
CSS pseudo-class, but don't expect such things to work outside of Opera
