Hi All

I am new to Wix Code and just tried adding a collapsible text box with a show more/less button. I used the code in the Wix tutorial for this and the button works fine, but the text now has a load of &codes dotted about when I preview that I don’t see when I am in edit mode. The code I used is

// 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(“#myTextElement”).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(“#myTextElement”).text = shortText;

Any help would be much appreciated?

Many thanks
