It keeps the original formatting. numero = 45486
interpreted = N
texte = Our site lists 6 products on the home page that are specials.A table is generated by search. Each cell in this table is another table that looks like so:____________________| | || | T || P |___________|| | || | D ||_______|____________|Where P is the product image, T is the Title of the Product and D is a text description of varying length. Right now this mostly works fine, and what I've done with the text description is to use [listwords] to reel of the first 15 words of the description, like so:[listwords words=[description]&delimiters= ][showif [index]<16][word][/showif] [/listwords]...This is OK, except for one thing. Since words are of differing lengths, some descriptions end up longer than others, and it ends up looking crappy visually. What I'd like to do is to parse enough text of each description that each D box is essentially filled.I suppose I could fix the height of the box and fiddle with the number of words parsed, but I was wondering of there was a spiffier way. I'm wracking my brain here. Anyone with some ideas?TAM,-Will-------------------------------------------------------------This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list .To unsubscribe, E-mail to: To switch to the DIGEST mode, E-mail to Web Archive of this list is at: http://search.smithmicro.com/ Associated Messages, from the most recent to the oldest:
