Jquery, hide & show list items after nth item

Say I have an unordered list, like so: 

<ul>
   <li>One</li>
   <li>Two</li>
   <li>Three</li>
   <li>Four</li>
   <li>Five</li>
</ul>

How would I, using JQuery, hide the last 2 list items and have a 'show more' link there, so when clicked upon, the last 2 list items would appear?

<ul>
   <li>One</li>
   <li>Two</li>
   <li>Three</li>
   <li style="display:none;">Four</li>
   <li style="display:none;">Five</li>
   <li>Show More</li>
</ul>
Solution

  • Try the following code example:

    $('ul li:gt(3)').hide();
$('.show_button').click(function() {
    $('ul li:gt(3)').show();
});
