html + css + jquery: Toggle Show More/Less Text

Question

I\'m working on a personal project and I\'m having a small issue:

This is my code code and currently works: http://jsfiddle.net/gvM3b/:

$(\".show-mor         


        

Answer 1

Use the ternary operator, for example:

$(".show-more").click(function () {
  var $this = $(this);
  $this.text($this.text() == "(Show Less)" ? "(Show More)" : "(Show Less)");
  $(".text").toggleClass("show-more-height");
});​

Or using .text() with a function:

$(".show-more").click(function () {
  $(this).text(function (i, oldText) {            
    return oldText == "(Show Less)" ? "(Show More)" : "(Show Less)";      
  });
  $(".text").toggleClass("show-more-height");
});​
