First off, thank you webtrickshome for taking the time to help me. I tried your suggestion and the flashing went away, but upon reloading the page, the entire section was displayed with a READ LESS button, which doesn't do anything when clicked. Below are the changes I think you intended. Maybe I didn't understand your instructions.

function myFunction() {
  var dots = document.getElementById("dots");
  var moreText = document.getElementById("more");
  var btnText = document.getElementById("myBtn");

  if (dots.style.display === "inline") {
    dots.style.display = "inline";
    btnText.innerHTML = "Read more"; 
    moreText.style.display = "none";
  } else {
    dots.style.display = "none";
    btnText.innerHTML = "Read less"; 
    moreText.style.display = "inline";
  }
}

When I leave else {dots.style display = "inline";  it showed less  and the SHOW LESS button worked, but the READ MORE button didn't work.  

Is it possible to have a Read More Read Less Button with parallax scrolling? Scrolling causes the text to flash.  I am using the following script:

function myFunction() {
  var dots = document.getElementById("dots");
  var moreText = document.getElementById("more");
  var btnText = document.getElementById("myBtn");

  if (dots.style.display === "none") {
    dots.style.display = "inline";
    btnText.innerHTML = "Read more"; 
    moreText.style.display = "none";
  } else {
    dots.style.display = "none";
    btnText.innerHTML = "Read less"; 
    moreText.style.display = "inline";
  }
}

Above my head!

Thank you dsonsuk, I see what you are saying about 'name', 'email' and 'message'. I made those changes and added value="Submit" to my home page (hope that is what you meant), but even after looking through the php tutorials I can't figure out what else is needed.

Thank you for your quick response davej. I thought I was linking it to a page I named action_page.php. Now I have uploaded  "form-to-email.php" and I get the following message, "error; you need to submit the form!Name and email are mandatory!"

Hello! What is needed to make this form work? The answer may be obvious to most, but I have limited knowledge of html, css, and trying to understand php through the tutorials.  I have tried searching similar questions but haven't been able to apply answers to my form. I have modified the form taken from the Parallax template and created a php page, but when I hit the SEND MESSAGE it goes to a 404 error page. I have the website up on a test site, http://debschneiderdesign.com/NextChapter/home.html#home

Thanks,

Deb
