link anchors

[Peter Warde]

Hi,

I'm building a FAQ ie a load of questions followed by the answers. You click on the question and you get the answer.

I'm using html links for the questions and html anchors for the answer as both questions and answers are in the same page ie

<a href="#answer">question</a>

......

<a name="answer"/>answer</a>

This fairly standard, but the trouble is that the answers don't always position themselves to the top of the page.

Why is this and is their a solution to this? What is the proper design for a FAQ?

Can anyone help?

Thanks

There's nothing you can do to modify the browser's behavior with regards to positioning.

If you want to use a different mechanism, you could have the answer immediately follow the question in a non-displayed div, and only reveal the div when the question is clicked.
