Question

Here is online sample http://jsfiddle.net/bvJnM/
Somehow linkedin profile doesn’t pop up. Could someone please check my code?

function excerpt(str, nwords) {
    var words = str.split(' ');
    words.splice(nwords, words.length - 1);
    return words.join(' ') + '&hellip;' + '<span>Show</span>';
}

var $div = $('.container');
$div.each(function() {
    var theExcerpt = excerpt($(this).text(), 30);
    $(this).data('html', $(this).html()).html( theExcerpt);
});

$('span').click(function() {
    var isHidden = $(this).text() == 'Show';
    var $div = $(this).parent();
    var theExcerpt = excerpt($div.text(), 30);
    $div.html( isHidden ? $div.data('html') : theExcerpt);
    $(this).remove();
});​

HTML

<script src="//platform.linkedin.com/in.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

<div class="container">

<script src="http://platform.linkedin.com/in.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="IN/MemberProfile" data-format="click" data-id="http://www.linkedin.com/in/reidhoffman"
data-format="inline"  data-text="mynamehere"></script>

after expanding the linkedIn link doesnt work…

Answer 1

Well lets try it this way:

Put the text in p tab and do splicing-dicing on it. put linked in scripts in their own space and hide it. Then wen you show the complete text, also show the linkedin div also.

<div class="container">
    <p>Nulla varius diam at sem adipiscing pharetra. Integer eget nulla non 
         purus commodo aliquam. Aenean sed nunc neque. </p>
<div id="lin">
    <script src="http://platform.linkedin.com/in.js" 
               type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="IN/MemberProfile" data-format="click" 
                data-id="http://www.linkedin.com/in/reidhoffman"
data-format="inline"  data-text="mynamehere"></script>
</div>
</div>

I have updated the fiddle here: fiddle1

EDIT: working fiddle. The <span> is appended to the <p> and I used $(this).parent().find('p'). It was to be $(this).parents('div').find('p')
