I have been looking a js/jquery solution on the net and stackoverflow for a div that has a set height (example 20px;) and after the user clicks [read more] it opens to a height of auto or 150px; (full content)
Example:
<style>
.small {height: 20px;}
.big {height: auto;}
</style>
<div class="small">

<a href="#">Click to read more</a>
</div>
Thanks for the help.
EDIT: Ive tried this:
In the href: onclick="javascript:toggleContent(this, true);"
Along with this:
<script type='text/javascript'>
$(window).load(function(){
comment_reply = function (id){
var e = $(id);
e.toggle();
}
});
</script>
The problem with that is the div expands on click rather than an [a href] I hope thats clear.
Just to expand DIV, you can use following code:
$('.wrapper').find('a[href="#"]').on('click', function (e) {
e.preventDefault();
$(this).closest('.wrapper').find('.small').toggleClass('small big');
});
Where wrapper is used to let link being displayed
DEMO
UPDATED code
To make it collapse too:
DEMO
$('.wrapper').find('a[href="#"]').on('click', function (e) {
e.preventDefault();
this.expand = !this.expand;
$(this).text(this.expand?"Click to collapse":"Click to read more");
$(this).closest('.wrapper').find('.small, .big').toggleClass('small big');
});
Something like that... could be optimised...
$(document).ready(function(){
$(document).on('click', '.small a', function(){
$('.small').addClass('big');
$('.small').removeClass('small');
});
$(document).on('click', '.big a', function(){
$('.big').addClass('small');
$('.big').removeClass('big');
});
});
Try this
CSS
.text.short {
height: 50px;
overflow: hidden;
}
.text.full {
}
.read-more {
cursor: pointer;
display: inline-block;
font-weight: bold;
padding: 3px;
background-color: #06c;
color: white;
margin: 2px;
}
Script
$(document).ready(function(){
$(".read-more").click(function(){
var $elem = $(this).parent().find(".text");
if($elem.hasClass("short"))
{
$elem.removeClass("short").addClass("full");
}
else
{
$elem.removeClass("full").addClass("short");
}
});
});

What you need is a toggler div
<div id="toggle" onclick="$('.small').css('height','auto');">Click to read more</div>
