Right - don't do this. Can only end in tears... OK, designer has come up with a fixed size box on the index page of a site that will hold X amount of stuff from a feature story on another page of the site. Like:
yadda yadda yadda yadda yadda yadda yadda yadda yadda yadda yadda yadda yadda yadda yadda yadda ... [click for more] left(whatever...) won't work as the text can't end in the middle of a word. So, I've got a truncate function (thanks Matthew Walker) to take care of that. But, this STILL won't actually work because 45 really long words obviously take up more space than 45 short words. Might take 40 words sometimes. Maybe 50 others... I'm like - this is going to have to be monked with a little every time a new feature article is entered in the admin, because you can't tell exactly how much space it's going to take up. Designer is like - client isn't going to monk with it. It just has to work and fill EXACTLY the amount of space I've given you regardless. I can't figure out a way to get this to actually work. Change the layout to make the darned box expand height wise to accommodate!! Ain't gonna happen though. Anybody know of any way at all to get this to work? Some stupid way to count long words verses shorts words and come out with an average with would "sorta" be right every time? __________ Information from ESET NOD32 Antivirus, version of virus signature database 5159 (20100531) __________ The message was checked by ESET NOD32 Antivirus. http://www.eset.com ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology-Michael-Dinowitz/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:334152 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
