Hi,
I've got a grid, in a website.. it is based off the Store example but I didn\t copy and paste so I might have done something wrong.
It seems that the product description wont word wrap and is taking up all the room it can.
I've tried to control it with some div's but nothing has really worked.
www.stringcity.co.nz will show you what I\m up to.
Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks,
:Ant

antum,
I'll have to experiment with this because it's been a while but
Set Description to type=HTML
It might then allready work, if not than in PhP you could
str_replace(newline,<br>,Description) or
replace any newline characters by HTML <br>.
If needed I can give more detail, and it's off the back of my head.

Hi Walter
This would work if there were line breaks in the original description, but it is just one continuous sentence.
The idea is that I should be able to restrict the size of the grid, or the table that holds the grid so that it fits on the page nicely..
It works fine in the Store example but I can't seem to replicate that.
Thanks,
:Ant

then explode the sentence on spaces
explode()
or instring counting the characters upto desired lenght find the previous
space and replace that for a <br>
several meaningful ways to do this.
Am off now, but will watch.

I'm no pro and maybe this is simplistic, but are you sure the "nowrap" check box is not checked when you click in that cell?

in fact Mastertrac made me realize that antum never said it was a label or a
textbox.
If generated using the Grid Builder it would be a label and just grow
according to the size of the content.
My above solution HTML and inserting <br> would work but Mastertrac made me
experimet and accomplish the following:
In Design Mode, right click the label containing the textfield and CHANGE TO
Textarea.
Then in the Format properties of the textarea set cols = 20 and wrap =HARD
Works for me!
