Generally, this feature is done using a collapsible div/span. When you find certain text more than a defined length, you show few characters only in the label. Post label, place another label or image on click of which div would appear that has rest of the text. Basically, you play with the display style of the div. Generally, this concept is used to show/hide details. You can find examples on web as collapsible panel using Javascript.

Try out and post specific issue if you face.
