[TriLUG] "Magic" navigation

[William Sutton]

I guess I'm still not understanding what exactly it is you want to do. 
Let's see if I can restate the problem:

1. you have a group of buttons at the top of the page that hide/reveal 
certain blocks of text further down the page
2. you want to jump to a particular block after you reveal it
3. you have the <form> tag around the action buttons posting back to the 
php script that previously rendered the current page

When you re-submit the page for the actions that hide/reveal text, do you 
process the text on the server side, or do you pass it through unchanged?
