Is it OK to see a scroll bar instead of the "Read more..."? If so, you can avoid JavaScript altogether and just use the overflow property.

This is a simple example:
[html]<html>
<head>
<style type="text/css">
#div1
{
height:300px;
overflow:scroll ;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>

<div id="div1">
This is some text. 
This is some text. 
This is some text. 
This is some text. 
This is some text. 
This is some text. 
This is some text. 
This is some text.

</body>
</html>[/html]Note that if you want to avoid a fixed height and depend on the dynamic page height, then you will need JavaScript.
