Firedog is a drupal site (evident by them kindly leaving the favicon as the drupal logo) and I was wondering if someone might know how they accomplished a part of it. If you view one of their services (for instance http://www.firedog.com/upgrade-my-pc) you will see they created a view to list the ubercart products, and directly under that view they have a div for accordian frequently asked questions. The FAQ dont appear to be a block, but part of the view (or am i wrong?). They must have been made with views inorder to get the accordian feature??? The FAQ are specific to the computer service. How did they get them to relate in the view?

In that case the view is a block, so I am guessing they added the block to the content area. The view may or may not take an argument from the path.

One could also use panels for a more general solution with that panel page path taking a taxonomy term as an argument and passing that on to a view.

So i could create 2 content types. One for my "item" and the other for my "faq". Relate them via a node reference and then create a general block to display the FAQ that gets an argument from the page its on?

Suggestions on where i can read up a bit on making the argument for that block?

Another choice is to use taxonomy and related items and faq's that way. My first thought would be to make one piece of content per question, so there might be many faq's with the same taxonomy term.
