In preview shows the correct 40 characters and … with show more button until I add the if else statement… what am I doing wrong?
let fullText; // variable to hold the full text
let shortText; // variable to hold the short version of the text
$w.onReady( function () {
// how many characters to include in the shortened version
const shortTextLength = 40;
// read the full text and store it in the fullText variable
fullText = $w(“#EnergyProfile”).text;
// grab the number of characters defined in shortTextLength and store them in the shortText variable
shortText = fullText.substr(0, shortTextLength) + “…”;
// set the contents of the text element to be the short text
$w(“#EnergyProfile”).text = shortText;
// check the contents of the text element
if ($w(“#EnergyProfile”).text === shortText) {
// if currently displaying short text, display the full text
$w(“#EnergyProfile”).text = fullText;
$w(“#EnergyProfileButton”).label = “Show less”;
} else {
// if currently displaying full text, display the short text
$w(“#EnergyProfile”).text = shortText;
$w(“#EnergyProfileButton”).label = “Show more”;
}
});
export function showMore_click(event) {
// display the full text
$w(“#EnergyProfile”).text = fullText;
// collapse the button
$w(“#EnergyProfileButton”).collapse();
}
I can leave it expanded but how can I get the strip to expand with it…so that it doesn’t leave all of the extra space when collapsed?
