Hi You should use the String tag library for that: http://jakarta.apache.org/taglibs/doc/string-doc/string-1.0.1/index.html

Hello, I am trying to find out if I can use any of the Jakarta taglibs to do some string formatting. In particular, I am trying to trim strings that exceed a certain length, and append something like ellipses to it. e.g. Wolfgang Amadeus Mozard -> Wolfgang Amadeus M... I tried looking at the docs, but this URL gives a 404: http://jakarta.apache.org/taglibs/doc/standard-1.0-doc/standard-1.0/index.ht ml I cannot use a 1.1 version of standard taglibs, only 1.0. If support for this does not exist in 1.0, but does exist in 1.1, I would still love to know. :) Thank you, Otis ________________________________________________ Get your own "800" number Voicemail, fax, email, and a lot more http://www.ureach.com/reg/tag --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
