Heh. I don't know why I don't like <cfif len(something)> in the same manner
I don't like <cfif recordcount>, but anywayze... ;-]
<cfset dis_reward_description = Replace(Trim(reward_description),
Chr(10),"<br /> ","ALL")>
<cfif len(dis_reward_description) gt 97>
#left(dis_reward_description,97)#...
<cfelseif len(dis_reward_description) gt 0>
#dis_reward_description#
</cfif>
And you may consider a fixed-width font so the kerning(sp?) doesn't
defeat this attempt at making things "even".
I left the query name off, as it maybe "should be", so long as it's in
the main query loop.
Otherwise, you'd want someQ.someField[someQ.currentrow], I
think. I don't know. I'm not the best practicer of scoping by a long
shot.
