I want to break my text into two parts - asp.net
<p>Here's the problem:</p>

<p>I have couple of pages which gets its content from a database. The content is displayed in a Literal control kept on an asp.net page.</p>

<p>The article sometimes gets quite long so I want to break the content into two parts using a client script. Unfortunately I cannot change the query to pull data partially. The entire data has to come.</p>

<p>What I want is that when the page (<a href="http://mysite.com/showpage.aspx?pid=45" rel="nofollow">http://mysite.com/showpage.aspx?pid=45</a>) or any other page is opened, I show the first 500 words in that literal control. A Link gets generated below the 500 words which says 'Click Here to View More...'</p>

<p>On clicking this link, a postback occurs and this time the entire content is shown to the user. I understand there is an extra roundtrip required but that's ok for my users.</p>

<p>How can I create such a functionality? Please help me with the script. Thanks.</p>
