Hi,

I have a field called description that is defined as a 'text' field in the database. It is a fairly lengthy. When I am in the edit form, I want to display all of the contents of the field. When I am in the Browse form, I want to only display the content based on the 'width' option. I have set the 'width' to 600 but then it still shows the top of each character from the next line.
Is it possible to truncate the display of the field to the defined 'width' or do I need to set the 'height' of each line somewhere?

Thanks,

John

John,

in forms Browse tab > Display field, you can specify a field name or a SQL function (see http://wiki.nubuilder.com/tiki-index.ph ... uilderDocs).

You can use SQL LEFT(field_name,lenght) or SUBSTR(field_name,start,lenght) functions to specify how many characters to display: Hope this helps.

Max,

That worked!

Thanks a lot.

John,

Or you could just change the height..

Steven,

I like both options for different reasons. Thanks for the alternative suggestion.
