I'm building a list of FAQs that I want to toggle to expand the answer. I have it started. I don't know JQuery very well, so I'm trying to find a tutorial online. I've found one, but now I want to add an arrow to the side of the header that will turn down when the section is toggled.

Here's the script:

// hover effect
$(document).ready(function() {
  $('div.demo-show h3').add('div.demo-show2 h3').hover(function() {
    $(this).addClass('hover');
  }, function() {
    $(this).removeClass('hover');
  });
});

// independently show and hide
$(document).ready(function() {
  $('div.demo-show:eq(0) > div').hide();  
  $('div.demo-show:eq(0) > h3').click(function() {
    $(this).next().slideToggle('fast');
  });
});

// one showing at a time

$(document).ready(function() {
  $('div.demo-show:eq(1) > div:gt(0)').hide();  
  $('div.demo-show:eq(1) > h3').click(function() {
    $(this).next('div:hidden').slideDown('fast')
    .siblings('div:visible').slideUp('fast');
  });
});


//simultaneous showing and hiding

$(document).ready(function() {
  $('div.demo-show2:eq(0) > div').hide();
  $('div.demo-show2:eq(0) > h3').click(function() {
    $(this).next('div').slideToggle('fast')
    .siblings('div:visible').slideUp('fast');
  });
});

//queued showing and hiding
$(document).ready(function() {
  $('div.demo-show2:eq(1) > div').hide();  
  $('div.demo-show2:eq(1) > h3').click(function() {
    var $nextDiv = $(this).next();
    var $visibleSiblings = $nextDiv.siblings('div:visible');

    if ($visibleSiblings.length ) {
      $visibleSiblings.slideUp('fast', function() {
        $nextDiv.slideToggle('fast');
      });
    } else {
       $nextDiv.slideToggle('fast');
    }
  });
});

Here's the CSS:

.demo-show {
  width: 350px;
  margin: 1em .5em;
}

.demo-show h3 {
  margin: 0;
  padding: .25em;
  background: #bfcd93;
  border-top: 1px solid #386785;
  border-bottom: 1px solid #386785;
}

.demo-show div {
  padding: .5em .25em;
}

And here's the page I'm putting it on: http://www.ekcetera.com/faq/faq.php

I just want to add a little arrow that will toggle down and up when "Title" is clicked.

Can anyone help?
