How do I make expand / collapse text?

[ArkwrightZ]

....like in news articles that have a couple of lines of info then the link "more...." which when clicked reveals lots of hidden text, pushing the rest of the page down?

I know this must be a basic function and have been using Xara for web editing for years but can't find how to do it!

Many thanks for your help.

It is not at all basic but it can be done in Xara, apart from pushing the rest of the page down. Xara has fixed page heights.

Here is a quick example with a number of additions to make it presentable: Example More Text.xar

Can you update your TG Profile to your current Xara product(s)?

Thanks.

Thanks Acorn. I've updated to Xara Web Designer Premium 16.

How do I make such an expandable text box though?

Many thanks!

Good to hear. Try varying a few things at a time to get a handle on the wide possibilities.

PS Although I'm very surprised that such basic (i.e. common on websites) functionality as expanding text and pushing following page content down the page is not even possible in Xara Web Designer Premium, let alone standard. I confess my opinion of Xara has gone down a notch.
