Now I tried adding the CEWP webpart in this blog site below posts webpart. It doesnt adda ny read more link and basically I see no change in the site. But when I tried it in a new blog site it worked fine. Why not here..Can somebody help me out. in this blog site i have 33 posts already published and I have limited the number of items to display as 1-10 in a single page. Is this causing a problem. Also what is WebPartWPQ1? how do i check for this or what shud i make changes in the code. Is it not working becuase I am using it in an already existing blog site?

I want to use the read more functionality on a announcement list. How can i make this possible?
I’m not really a progammer… :)

Is it possible to use this script on a announcement list? That would be great!

Thank you. Yes I increased the height to reveal more rows OK. But when I click Read More I see the Body text below these rows, so you lose sight of the Title and the first few rows.

If you use something other than the default CSS, you may need to change this line:
.collapseText {height:26px;overflow:hidden}

Play with the height number until it looks right.

Try this (changing the h = variable will change the threshold for the read more link):

if(typeof jQuery=='undefined'){
	var jQPath = 'https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.3.2/jquery.min.js'
	document.write('');
}

.collapseText 	{height:26px;overflow:hidden}

function collapseText(){
	var h = 100,
		html = "Read more...",
		divs = $("div.ms-PostBody"),
		i = divs.length, d;
	while (i--) {
		d = divs[i];
		if (d.offsetHeight > h) {
			$(d).addClass("collapseText").after(html);
		}
	}
	$("a.expand").click(function(event){
		$(event.target).parent().hide().prev().removeClass("collapseText");
		$("html,body").scrollTop(event.pageY);
		return false;
	});
}
$(function() {
	collapseText();
});
