How to create expandable FAQ page in HTML?

I'd like to create an FAQ page for my website that lists all of the questions as hyperlinks. When the link is clicked, the answer for that question should expand out beneath it.

The answers need to be hidden by default, and preferably clicking the link toggles the answers' visibility.

Any thoughts?

Edit

I've tried several of the suggestions, but unfortunately it looks like google sites doesn't allow any of that functionality in the html. I can't use scripts, styles, embed, iframe, or anything beside basic text formatting it would appear. Great ideas everyone, but it looks like I'll have to settle for a Table of Contents style FAQ.

Here a possible approach:

<html><body><script>

function toggleElement(id)
{
    if(document.getElementById(id).style.display == 'none')
    {
        document.getElementById(id).style.display = '';
    }
    else
    {
        document.getElementById(id).style.display = 'none';
    }
}
</script>
<p>
<a href="javascript:toggleElement('a1')">Is this a question?</a>
</p>
<div id="a1" style="display:none">
This is an answer.
</div>
</body>
</html>
