Question

I’m a newbie so be kind to me 🙂

I have a large text that I’m trying to present in html, I want the text to ‘fill the screen’s real-estate’ depending on the browser/device – mobile vs desktop – if its going overboard then I want it to trunk the remaining text and present it in another html (i.e. next page). I’ve tried searching for pagination and whatnot, I’m using html,css,javascript.. and pretty new to all this 🙂

I do understand my question is probably vague, but even a small direction would help so much!

(Just to make things clearer, I’m trying to build a javascript ebook reader that I can add public domain books in the future).

Here’s what you have to do.

1. Figure out a way to see if text is overflowing
2. Chop off excess text
3. Make a link that fills the content div with the leftover text
4. Repeat recursively
5. If you don’t know what recursion is goto step 5 else +1
