Hello everyone. We are trying to use the READMORE action, but are running into a slight hiccup. When the page is loading, 100% of the text on the page is visible (even the text after the inserted action). After a few seconds, what is suppose to be hidden is then hidden and the READMORE action works perfectly.
Is there something we can do to fix this or something we may have done that would cause this? Thanks in advance.
This can happen if you have a lot of content on the page, or a lot of complex layout. The hiding is done by JavaScript at the instant that the page DOM is stable in the browser, which is usually before the page begins to paint to the screen, but for some layouts it can become a race.
Can you post a link showing the problem?
There’s a tweak you could use to hide the content immediately (with inline CSS) but this would have the down-side of hiding the extra content entirely and forever from anyone with JavaScript disabled (like Google).

Hi Walter, we were able to fix it by removing WebYep from this page (as it was unneeded) and changing the page from .php back to .html. Works great now!
Just so you know, the issue was not PHP, but WebYep. WebYep inserts a second copy of prototype.js into the head of the page, which overwrites the first copy that my Action inserts. Max is aware of the issue and has a work-around for it.
