Modifying 'Read more' so it just shows the full text that is being truncated

Hi, The question is basically already in the title. I would like to know if it is possible to somehow instead of going to the 'courses:detail' view when clicking on "Read more" simply show the full description of the course that is being truncated. Of course I would like to show the description on the very same page without having to reload it... Thank you!

Hi jacinator,

Thanks for your reply, I managed to get a result close to what I wanted using bootstrap's modals.

I would use jquery for something like that. I don't know if Django can handle that without a page reload. If you're willing to reload the page, then it could be done with something like making the reload button a form with a GET method.
