URL query string to expand collapsed section on page?
I've been using collapsible sections (a LOT) lately to create FAQ type pages in SharePoint. It makes for a very intuitive interface for viewers in the site. Sometimes, though, we want to point someon...

That's A solution, but may not be ideal in some cases. For example, if you're using collapsing sections to create an FAQ page. One of the questions is "How do I change my password?", so you create a collapsible section with that title (so it's visible when the section is collapsed. The method you're suggesting would require duplicating the question (or at least adding a heading) inside that section. Sure, you could make it something like "Answer:" so you're not duplicating the question, but that would still look a bit off.
Ideally, since every collapsible section has a heading-formatted title, there would be an option/setting along the lines of "Expand section on focus".

Chad_V_Kealey Indeed, this is a workaround and not the best solution. But for now in some cases it can do the trick!
