How to show few lines of content & expand instantly on demand?

[may1hem]

I have a Web page which displays a large table. Each row of the table has lots of text in it, which means the user has to scroll through a lot of text to find what they're looking for.

I want to show just the first 10 words of each row, and when the user wants to read more then they just need to click on the text to expand it. How can this be done with HTML / CSS?

I've seen it on the Microsoft site and on other sites and I think it can be done without JavaScript. Is this right?

Thx for your help,

May
