Not using CSS alone. But with the help of client-side or server-side scripting to set the class or id of a common ancestor (such as body), CSS can then toggle the display of any page elements along with the linked anchor. One example: http://novitskisoftware.com/nsindex.asp Once javascript loads, clicking on a menu item changes the body class, changing which section of the page is displayed. The way I express the reason that CSS can't do this by itself is that CSS rules operate downward to descendants and not upward to ancestors or sideways to cousin elements.
