I want to add Read More and Read Less buttons onto a Text section on a page, where the Read More will expand and Read Less will shrinl back to the original text.

I've copied some HTML codes from the internet, but it doesn't work.

Please keep in mind that I am not technical and have limited HTML knowledge.

It is been asked many times. maybe create an IDEA post for Incomedia so they can make something in the future for this?

There are some examples here in the helpdesk as well, but they all need html coding.

I don't know how often you are going to use it, and where, but you could create only a link with text like "see more info"and then link this to a page that you have disabled in the menu where you have all the information in. (you can hide a text page in step3 with button on top.)

Then show this page as seperat page or showbox or pop up window (link option under Action then website page and also option menu)

This way you have about the same but without coding

Best Regards

Thank you Andre and John,

@Andre; I will definitely create and IDEA post.

@John; Your example is exactly what I am looking for. If you don’t mind, can you please send me the code? It will be highly appreciated. A bit of coincidence, but my sales pages is for restaurants. My email address is ***

Maybe a bit more information on how and why I want to use this;

I am busy creating one-pager Sales Pages with OPTIN, but there is a lot of valuable information that may persuade the user to opt-in / prevent them from exiting the page, but I don’t want to clutter the page. I just want to display a catch phrase with a READ MORE option to get more information and then a READ LESS option to go back to the original format.
