It just shows the text that i put in between the “” .It does not make the button work and show the rest of the text
I’m not sure I got what you’re saying.
On one hand you wrote " It just shows the text that i put in between the “” " - which means the full text.
On the other hand, you wrote: "It does not make the button work and show the rest of the text " - which means it only shows the short text.
So does it show the short text or the full text?
(if you put the full text between the " "; and kept the rest of your code as is, it’s supposed to work.
if you did all of that and it still doesn’t work, then I have no clue)…
Hey JD sorry for being so confusing as you can tell i am clueless, just doing this website for my mum. It was all going so well till i got to this… haha.
Basically when I put the text in the “” it just shows the full text when its supposed to be the short text. I really appreciate all your help but i am going to have to give up, I really do not know what i have done wrong this time. Cheers 
I don’t know what say. You probably did something wrong somewhere because this line $w("# text3 ").text = shortText; is supposed to assign the short text to the textbox. But I can’t tell where the error is without having an access to your editor.
