Hi Joe,

I guess that txtContentLong ist a element in your child page of your a
listelement lets say lstContent. Than you can try this:
<!IoRangeList>
  <!IoRangePreExecute>
    <% longContentLen = <%!! Context:Pages.GetPage(Guid:<%infPageGuid
%>).Elements.GetElement(txt_ContentLong).Value.Length !!%> %>
         <description>
         <% if longContentLen>0 then %>
             <%txt_ContentLong%>
          <% else %>
              <%txt_Content%>
          <% end if %>
         </description>
     <!/IoRangePreExecute>
<!/IoRangeList>

infPageGuid is a PageGuid of the Child-Element.

Regards
Burkhard
