Simple "Read More" jQuery plugin for HTML5 projects

Simply add the "read-more" class to your HTML object, and a "prompt" sub-element to expand the content:

jQuery

// Global with defaults
$.readMore();

// Selector with defaults
$(".myObjects").readMore();

HTML

<div class="read-more">
    <!-- Content Here -->
    <p>My example content</p>
    <p>Lorem ipsum...</p>

    <p class="prompt">
        <a class="button" href="#">Read More</a>
    </p>
</div>

readmore-js's Issues

Suggestion: how to avoid to disappear buttons at demo?

Hi,

At your demos, once I have clicked the buttons, they disappear.

How could I keep them showed?

Thanks!
