How to link a specific line of an espandable list?












1















I have a page with a collapsible list, with different "subjects" for each lines.
When a subject is clicked then it opens, in the same page, the text related downward.



What I'd like to do is to create a link for each subject, so in another page I can link specific words to subjects I want, and when clicking on them it opens me the list page with the subject already expanded.



Is it achievable?



For instance, this is the list I've got:

          This would be possible if you apply a unique id to each element on your page that you would like to link to. For example:



          <h2 id='my_section'>My Section</h2>


          This will allow you to link to this id with an HTML anchor tag when you include the id. As an example, if the above "My Section" was on a page with a path of /app/teams.html then you could link to it like this from a different page:



          <a href="/app/teams.html#my_section">Visit My Section</a>


          For some more info on how anchor links work to ids, take a look at the W3 docs for links.

          • This is absolutely working, but it only sends me to the exact line of the id that I recall, but I also want the section to be expanded (like it was clicked), that's the problem.

          • For that you'll have to get document.URL then split on # to get the ID that is active. Then use that ID to set the accordion as active.
