If you're getting a string from database, then try to breaking it into substrings at the server-side page. That way, you will have the short strings to be written in the responce.

If you want to write it using jQuery then use this

var name = "Afzaal Ahmad Zeeshan";
var words = name.substring(5); // this is basic js

This way you will get substrings of the long string, and then write it to the div elements.

Then you can add them to hidden elements, and on click you can show them using jQuery as

$('selector').click(function () {
 $('other_selector').show(); // show the other element
}

This way, you'll get the divs being shown which are substrings of a long string.
