Hi ,

As i specified in my opiginal post,  the text which i get in and im trying to truncate – this could be just a piece of HTML, sometihng like <p sdfsdf>fgdfgdfg</p>sdgfsdg<afghfghgf></A>

so lets say my str="<p sdfsdf>fgdfgdfg</p>sdgfsdg<afghfghgf></A>"

in this case alerts in javascript before and after work, but qListView record is empy. Not well formed – meaning that i was trying to break an HTML code in the midle of the <P> or <A> anchor.

if my str="dfgdfgdfgdfgdf dfgdfgdfg"  without any <A> or <P> – then record in qListView is populated with the value which DisplayChars returns.with the first scenario ( evven though alerts in javascript function return value) – qListVew record dosnt have anything.

(this is an actual example of the str:

<P>The staff of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") has announced its new National Exam Program ("NEP") initiative to conduct "Presence Exams" of newly-registered investment advisers. In a letter sent today from various regional offices of the SEC to newly-registered advisers, the staff described the new exams as "focused" and "risk-based" and highlighted the following five "higher-risk" areas that may be covered during an exam:</P>  <UL>  <LI>Marketing   <LI>Portfolio Management   <LI>Conflicts of Interest   <LI>Safety of Client Assets   <LI>Valuation</LI></UL>  <P>)

Hi Julia,

  The easiest way to find out the problem is to debug the js function or add some js alerts to see the values that get into your functions and the values that come out.

I suspect that there is a js error on the page and therefore you don't see anything displayed.

Let me know how it goes.

Thanks,

Hi .

I tried alerts within Javascript function.

I modified the function to lok like this:

<script type='text/javascript'>
function DisplayChars(str, charNumber)
{
if (charNumber < 0)
{
charNumber = 0;
}
var displayedStatus = str;

alert("before:" + str);
if (typeof(displayedStatus) != 'undefined' && displayedStatus != null && displayedStatus.length > charNumber)
{
displayedStatus = str.substr(0, charNumber);

alert("after:" + displayedStatus );
}

//alert (displayedStatus);
return displayedStatus;
}

and i do get alerts for "before" ad "after". but in case the "after" string is not well formated  the value within the qListView for this record is blank. What do you think im missing?

Thanks a lot,

Hi Julia,

  You say "not well formatted", what do you mean?

Do you expect a string in a specific format (phone number)?

PS

Try to debug the js function, it will give you a better idea than the alerts.

I found your a discussion:

if my test starts with <P> or <A href=…>  and i need to take sunstring of this text, which turns it into non well formatted text – then in my qlistview it displays empty string..

I tested javascript function itself on those records – javascript accepts and return value ( non well formatted), but notihng gets displayed in qLIstView column ( which has a custom column with calculated value as rescribed in the
