Hi Kim,
You need a javascript function that would get the first xxx chars from a field (see function DisplayChars below).
Feel free to improve/extend the function.
Then please place this function on a javascript file that is included in your page.
Then you create a calculated field on the qListView using ezEdit option and in the Calculated Value enter the following
<script> DisplayChars('<%FirstName%>',100);</script>.
This would do the work for you. Please see the screenshot/.
Any questions, please let me know.
If you consider that this answers your question please mark it so.
Thanks,
function DisplayChars(str, charNumber)
{
if (charNumber < 0)
{
charNumber = 0;
}
var displayedStatus = str;
if (typeof(displayedStatus) != 'undefined' && displayedStatus != null && displayedStatus.length > charNumber)
{
displayedStatus = str.substr(0, charNumber);
}
return displayedStatus;
}
