[jQuery] how do i prevent having a paragraph tag for the text AFTER i expand?

[Kei Simone]

Hi

i noticed that whenever i expanded the text, the subsequent text
expanded.

and the expand prefix...

also tends to be on the next line.

Please advise.

This is my expand code.

$(document).ready(function() {



  // override some default options
  $('div.expandable div').expander({

    slicePoint:       160,  // default is 100
    expandText:         '<div class="expand-
button">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Expand</div>', // default is
'read more...'
        //expandSpeed:      '2000', // speed in milliseconds of the animation
effect for expanding the text
        //expandPrefix: '...',
         expandEffect:     'fadeIn',
    collapseTimer:    0, // re-collapses after 5 seconds; default is
0, so no re-collapsing
    userCollapseText: 'Collapse' , // default is '[collapse expanded
text]'

    afterExpand: function($thisElement) {

      var vendorParaID = $thisElement.attr('id');

      var underscore = vendorParaID.indexOf('_');

      var vendorID = vendorParaID.substring(0, underscore);

      $("#vendor_img_"+vendorID).replaceWith($preloadImgVendor
[vendorID]);

      var heightOfDIV = $thisElement.height();

      if(heightOfDIV > 290){
        $thisElement.attr({style : "height:290px;overflow:auto"});
      }

      //console.debug($thisElement);
    },
    onCollapse: function($thisElement, byUser) {
      //alert($thisElement.attr('id'));
      var vendorParaID = $thisElement.attr('id');
      var underscore = vendorParaID.indexOf('_');

      var vendorID = vendorParaID.substring(0, underscore);

      $("#vendor_img_"+vendorID).replaceWith($preloadImgVendorCrop
[vendorID]);

      var heightOfDIV = $thisElement.height();


      if(heightOfDIV > 68){
        $thisElement.removeAttr("style");
      }


      //console.debug($thisElement);
    }
  });



});

This is my div for the expandable.

 <div class="expandable" >
                                <div id="{$vender.id_manufacturer}
_desc">{$vender.description}</div>


                                </div>
