Show first line of a paragraph

Question

I have a DIV with a multi-line paragraph.

Is there any way (maybe using jQuery) to only show the first line of the paragraph and hide the others?

Answer 1

Here is a way (sort of) by making the paragraph white-on-white except the :first-line of it: http://jsbin.com/usora4/2/edit

Snippet of CSS:

p { color: white; }
p:first-line { color: black; }
