Indexhibit Support

Hi. I am using the script for expanding
my menu items. But i would like to use a similar tool
to allow me to have a 'read more' expanding link on descriptions of my work.
users would click to expand a lengthly description.
any ideas how i could do this?

I don´t know exactly, but maybe you could try something like this:

1. Write your "longdescription" within a self-created html-tag
2. make it invisible via css
3. create a button with a click-function that hides/shows the tag -> do this with a jquery code that is started on pageload

Maybe this works, if not you could try it with an existing html-tag, that isn´t needed otherwise (for example h5??)

Requires just a little JavaScript knowledge. Assuming your using a default theme and haven't removed any references to jQuery, you could do something like this: -

JavaScript

1. $('#show_desc').click(function() {
2.     $('#description').show('slow');
3.     return false;
4. });

HTML/XHTML

1. <span id='show_desc'>Read more</span>
2. <div id='description'>
3. This would hold your description text. Hopefully this also gives 
4. you a rough idea of what you can do with jQuery!
5. </div>

Good luck!

Did any one could make it work? I've been trying but I am not advanced in JavaScript. LeslieOA could you please explain me where exactly to put the code? and which other steps are needed? meaning editing css, index.ph, or so on?

thanks!!!
