I'm a beginner, and trying to understand everything. I tried using <p> and it works smoothly but when I insert a text like a ul and li it wont show up
I also tried using a div but only the <a> part is working not the ul and li. I hope someone can help me.
$(document).ready(function() {
$(".more-less").click(function() {
$(this).parent().prev('ul.more').toggleClass("main");
if ($(this).parent().prev('ul.more').hasClass('main')) {
$(this).text('Read Less');
} else {
$(this).text('Read More');
}
});
});.more {
text-align: left !important;
display: none;
}
.more-less {
/* position: absolute; */
/* right: -30px; */
/* top: -34px; */
color: #e43330 !important;
text-align: center;
float: left;
width: 100%;
}<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.6.0/jquery.min.js"></script>
<p style="text-align: left;">First paragraph then cuts...
<p class="more">Second paragraph.</p>
<p><strong>Header key roles</strong></p>
<ul class="more">
<li>trait 1</li>
<li>trait 2</li>
<li>trait 3</li>
<li>trait 4</li>
<li>trait 5</li>
</ul>
<a class="more-less">Read More</a>
<p> end paragraph</p>strong text
There's two main issues in your code. Firstly the ul.more is not a parent element of the clicked p, so parents().next() isn't the correct traversal logic to use. As the target element is a sibling of the one which raised the event, use siblings().
Secondly, you need to set display: block on the hidden ul. You can do this through CSS, on the .main class which you toggle.
Also note that you cannot nest p elements. I corrected this in the example below by converting the containing element to a div.
jQuery($ => {
$(".more-less").click(function() {
let $more = $(this).siblings('ul.more').toggleClass("main");
if ($more.hasClass('main')) {
$(this).text('Read Less');
} else {
$(this).text('Read More');
}
});
});.more {
text-align: left !important;
display: none;
}
.more.main {
display: block;
}
.more-less {
color: #e43330 !important;
text-align: center;
float: left;
width: 100%;
}<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.6.0/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div>
First paragraph then cuts...
<p class="more">Second paragraph.</p>
<p><strong>Header key roles</strong></p>
<ul class="more">
<li>trait 1</li>
<li>trait 2</li>
<li>trait 3</li>
<li>trait 4</li>
<li>trait 5</li>
</ul>
<a class="more-less">Read More</a>
<p> end paragraph</p>
</div>Try delete display: none; from more class
