A conventional Frequently Asked Questions page has questions at the top of the page. Below these questions are the answers. The questions are links. When you click a question the page jumps to the answer. We can design a better FAQ page, however. Keep reading to find out how.
More Convenient FAQ Web Pages - Testing with Browsers (Page 4 of 4 )
I tested the code with Internet Explorer 6, Mozilla Firefox 2, Netscape 8, Opera 9 and Safari 3. Everything went as expected with all of the browsers, except Internet Explorer 6. The problem with Internet Explorer 6 is that when the mouse pointer goes over a question, it does not become an arrowhead. This is a weakness with the browser. The rest of the features worked well with IE 6.
A simple way to handle the problem with IE 6 is to include the following attribute into each DT tag of the page:
title= "Click to see answer."
With this attribute, if the mouse pointer goes over a question, a tool tip will appear saying "Click to see answer." This will indicate to the user that if he clicks the question, he will see the answer.
Well, you now have a better way of designing an FAQ web page.
