You can use JS to count how many characters there are in the text, and if it exceeds the div's amount, then show the "show more" button. Then, you can use window.open to open a popup. See this fiddle

I would set the height after the page rendered but before check the height to see if it is greater than your desired width.

jsfiddle.net/

var actualHeight, actualWidth;
$(function(){
 var $d = $('.text');
 actualHeight = $d.height();
    if(actualHeight > 200){
     $('.seeMore').css('display','inline-block');
    }
    $d.css('height','200px');
});

$('.SeeMore').click(function() {
  $('.PopUp').fadeIn(10).html($('.text').text())
  });

.text
{
  width:200px;
  border:1px solid #000;
  background-color:rgba(230,230,230,1);
  overflow:hidden;
  position:relative;
  }
  
  
.SeeMore
{
  position:absolute;
  bottom:0;
  right:0;
  background-color:rgba(230,230,230,1);
  padding:0px 5px;
  color:#008CFF;
  width:100%;

Text size can change by a simple font change or increasing/decreasing the size, or spacing and line height. Counting the characters is not best way to handle this. my example will always work for the size of the div not the content in the div. looks nice too. — Mike, Dec 07 '16 at 21:25
