All,
I've got a Web based admin tool that publishes articles. Regardless
of the length of the story, I'm trying to cut the story off the text at a
certain length and display the "next page" hyperlink. The code below does
this ok.
However, I want to detect the end of the paragraph so the reader completes
the paragraph before having to click on the "next page" link. Each paragraph
is always separated by a single <p> tag. Right now, with the code below, I'm
gettiing words cut into peices and incomplete paragraphs.
Any advice or gauidance would be much appreciated.
<CFSET first_length = 1900>
<CFSET story_length = Len(pressrel_story.pre_mainpress)>
<CFSET story_remaining = #story_length# - 2500>
<tr>
<td colspan="2">
<p><cfoutput>
<span class="second_para">#left(pressrel_story.pre_mainpress, first_length)#
....</span>
</cfoutput>
<p>
</p>
<span class="second_para"><a href="pagename.cfm?sr=#story_remaining#">Next
Page</a></span>
