Html Read More Code

I am creating Read More Code in Html. Everything is working fine. but when I click on Read More . then it displays data along with text-ellipsis property ie. ...*. I want Read More

Solution 1:

Add $(".moreelipses").toggle(); in read more button onClick

$(document).ready(function() {
        var showChar = 400;
        var ellipsestext = "...";
        var moretext = "Read More";
        var lesstext = "Read Less";
        $('.more').each(function() {
            var content = $(this).html();

            if(content.length > showChar) {

                var c = content.substr(0, showChar);
                var h = content.substr(showChar-1, content.length - showChar);

                var html = c + '<span class="moreelipses">'+ellipsestext+'</span><span class="morecontent"><span>' + h + '</span><div class="text-center margin_top_10"><a href="" class="morelink">'+moretext+'</a></div></span>';

                $(this).html(html);
            }

        });

        $(".morelink").click(function(){
            if($(this).hasClass("less")) {
                $(this).removeClass("less");
                $(this).html(moretext);
            } else {
                $(this).addClass("less");
                $(this).html(lesstext);
            }
            $(".moreelipses").toggle();
            $(this).parent().prev().toggle();
            $(this).prev().toggle();
            returnfalse;
        });
    });

.comment {
  width: 93%;
  margin: 0 auto;
}
a.morelink {
  outline: none;
  color: #5bc0de!important;
}
.morecontentspan {
  display: none;

}

Solution 2:

Just change ellipsestext="..." to ""

 $(document).ready(function() {
        var showChar = 400;
        var ellipsestext = "";
        var moretext = "Read More";
        var lesstext = "Read Less";
        $('.more').each(function() {
            var content = $(this).html();

            if(content.length > showChar) {

                var c = content.substr(0, showChar);
                var h = content.substr(showChar-1, content.length - showChar);

                var html = c + '<span class="moreelipses">'+ellipsestext+'</span>&nbsp;<span class="morecontent"><span>' + h + '</span><div class="text-center margin_top_10"><a href="" class="morelink">'+moretext+'</a></div></span>';

                $(this).html(html);
            }

        });

        $(".morelink").click(function(){
            if($(this).hasClass("less")) {
                $(this).removeClass("less");
                $(this).html(moretext);
            } else {
                $(this).addClass("less");
                $(this).html(lesstext);
            }
            $(this).parent().prev().toggle();
            $(this).prev().toggle();
            returnfalse;
        });
    });
