Question ID: 785239
I need to locate a Java applet that can do the following.

I'm looking to create an FAQs section for our Web site.

I want the 15-20 Questions to always show and have a + plus sign to the left
of each FAQ/question, so that when someone clicks on the + plus sign for
that question, the answer is revealed with the text on the Web page
expanding.

Next to the answer to that question, I want it to have a - minus sign to its
left, so that when someone clicks on the - minus sign for that question, the
answer is hidden.

The reason I want to do this is to save space on the Web page.

Please recommend 1-2 Java applets that could accomplish this with very
minimal knowledge of Java, along with basic instructions on how to install
on our Web site in the HTML code.

Thanks

Hi,
Unless this has to be in Java, I think that the easiest way of doing
this would be with a DHTML script.  There is a really good one at
http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex17/switchcontent.htm with
detailed instructions that looks easy to set up.  In my opinion, this
would be easier to use than a Java applet.  Let me know if this
answers your question.  Thanks!
