Hi...

I want to show in a form, the content of a text field (paragraph) from another table using a display type field. The issue is that when I perform a SQL query only the initial part of the paragraph is displayed since the width of the display field is narrow but with a height wide enough for the text to fit vertically to it. I've made several attempts at properties applying CSS to make all the text content fit into the container, but I haven't been able to achieve anything.

I need some help with this please...

Hi cuadradoja,

Are you wanting the text to wrap inside your display object?

Hi Steven,

That's right, I really don't know how to do it...

A display field (which is a HTML input type element) is meant for single-line text. Since you're working with paragraphs, consider assigning the text to textarea or div.

Hi cuadradoja,

As Kev mentioned HTML input elements don't format the way a textarea does.

Here is a bit of a Hack...

Put this on the onclick of this button
It doesn't reformat it the same but at least you see everything.

(or download tha attached db)
