Adding FAQs in a Weebly site

    I would like to implement FAQs in my Weebly based site www.themathstutor.ie.

    Weebly say the only way to do it is to create hidden (i.e. not on the main menu) pages, and have each question link to a hidden page.

    This sounds pretty lame.

    Is there any easy way to create my FAQs and embed them in as HTML ?

    Or any other suggestions?

    Thanks.

    Can you provide a sample for the FAQ implemented somewhere else so that it was a bit clearer what you are trying to achieve?

    Thanks for your response VMotion.

    I feel a bit stupid, but when went to Google an example of what I mean, I couldn't see one! A lot of sites go for a simple, non-collapsible list.

    I did some googling as well to see could I find a script for what I have in mind.

    I found this:

    http://www.ehow.com/how_5772308_expand-collapse-text.html

    And I hacked it into Weebly as a piece of Custom HTML, and edited it.

    It seems to work quite well:

    http://www.themathstutor.ie/faq1.html

    Any thoughts on this? Or a better alternative?

    I suppose that one thing it is lacking, in it's present form, compared to my non-collapsible FAQ list, is that it is not formatted, and there is no space between the questions.

    I guess I can put a '-' between the questions, which is acceptable I think as a workaround.

    TheMathsTutor, have you considered using anchors for it?http://www.hypergurl.com/anchors.html

    Are you using a wysiwyg editor? Your code could use some cleaning.
    Lists are better done with <ol> tag and you can space out the lines with css settings or using <br> tag.

    I will have a look, thanks. But TBH, I have to limit my time on this as I have a lot of other stuff to do before we launch :D

    No, but I should, good idea. Then I can put in whatever formatting I want I guess. Any recommendations for a free wysiwyg editor please?

    I can believe it. Hopefully with a good editor I can see that more clearly.

    Will check out the <ol> tag, and have done the <br> thing, thanks very much for your help!

    I'm having flashbacks to a couple of weeks ago when I was trying to get my head around Drupal :o

    Will this work with weebly ? I'm not sure it will allow me to install an editor?

    I might just need to find a standalone wysiwyg HTML editor, maybe http://kompozer.net/

    You can use http://ckeditor.com/demo
    Arrange the text the way you need and then click the source button, copy-paste html to your page.

    Cannot advise much on weebly, not familiar with its control panel.

    Hope this helps :)
    Thank you!

    Thanks again VMotion.

    I think I have it fairly decent now using Kompozer, cheers for your help.

    with hindsight, something like this would be what I had in mind originally, just came across it today

    I have put the FAQs live on the website now:

    FAQs

    Might add a few more and re-arrange them etc, but this is version 1 anyway.
