How to apply jquery ellipsis to div

Question

$('.more2').each(function() {       
    var showChar = 150;
    var content = $(this).html();
        if(content.length > showChar) {
            var c = content.substr(0, showChar);
            var h = content.substr(showChar, content.length - showChar);
            var html = c + '<span class="moreellipses">' + ellipsestext+ ' </span><span class="morecontent"><span>' + h + '</span>  <a href="" class="morelink">' + moretext + '</a></span>';
            $(this).html(html);
    }
});

I am trying to build some jquery Accordion effect for my div drop down; please see the example JSFIDDLE . here what I want actually it's on-clicking of ('+') button I want to show reaming part of content. At that time else div in the same row should take the same height which is the active div taken but we don't want show the content in inactive div.

Try adding to your document ready:

$('a.morelink').click(function(){
    $(this).parent().find('span').toggle();
    $(this).parent().parent().find('span.moreellipses').toggle();
    $(this).parent().find('a').text($(this).text() == '[+]' ? "[-]" : "[+]");
    return false;
});

and replace:

$(".row1").height(maxHeight);

with

$(".row1").css({'min-height':maxHeight,'height':'auto'});

So your code could be:

  $(document).ready(function() { var maxHeight = 0; $(".row1").each(function() { if ($(this).height() > maxHeight) { maxHeight = $(this).height(); } }); $(".row1").css({ 'min-height': maxHeight, 'height': 'auto' }); }); $(document).ready(function() { var ellipsestext = "..."; var moretext = "[+]"; var lesstext = "[-]"; $('.more1').each(function() { var showChar = 172; var content = $(this).html(); if (content.length > showChar) { var c = content.substr(0, showChar); var h = content.substr(showChar, content.length - showChar); var html = c + '<span class="moreellipses">' + ellipsestext + ' </span><span class="morecontent"><span>' + h + '</span> <a href="" class="morelink">' + moretext + '</a></span>'; $(this).html(html); } }); $('.more2').each(function() { var showChar = 150; var content = $(this).html(); if (content.length > showChar) { var c = content.substr(0, showChar); var h = content.substr(showChar, content.length - showChar); var html = c + '<span class="moreellipses">' + ellipsestext + ' </span><span class="morecontent"><span>' + h + '</span> <a href="" class="morelink">' + moretext + '</a></span>'; $(this).html(html); } }); $('a.morelink').click(function() { $(this).parent().find('span').toggle(); $(this).parent().parent().find('span.moreellipses').toggle(); $(this).parent().find('a').text($(this).text() == '[+]' ? "[-]" : "[+]"); return false; }); });
