alan_k Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 Hello, I have been researching a question I have but cant seem to find an answer for my situation. I have a simple html form that in a couple of fields may require user to write a longer then usual response on the trouble she is experiencing. What I would like is for that table cell to abbreviate the text and I have a link (called More) to the full page for that indivual row which can display the whole trouble report. Right now the whole text appears in the table cell and distorts the display. Is there a way to do this. Thanks. Here is the code for the table. It is the row with 'Problem' variable I would like to abbreviate. <table class="table table-striped table-bordered table-hover" cellpadding="10" cellmargin="5" border="3"> <tr> <th id="table_header">First Name</th> <th id="table_header">Last Name</th> <th id="table_header">Reach #</th> <th id="table_header">Room Number</th> <th id="table_header">Type of Trouble</th> <th id="table_header">Room Availability</th> <th id="table_header">Trouble Report</th> <th id="table_header">Ticket Status</th> <th id="table_header">Assignment</th> <th id="table_header">TT Number</th> <th id="table_header"></th> </tr> <?php foreach($model as $row) { echo "<tr class='success'>"; echo '<td>'. $row['FName'] .'</td>'; echo '<td>'. $row['LName'] .'</td>'; echo '<td>'. $row['Rch_Num'] .'</td>'; echo '<td>'. $row['Rm_Number'] .'</td>'; echo '<td>'. $row['Prob_Cat'] .'</td>'; echo '<td>'. $row['Rm_Avail'] .'</td>'; echo '<td>'. $row['Problem'] .'</td>'; echo '<td><i>'. $row['Tkt_Status'] . '</i></td>'; echo '<td>'. $row['Assgnd_Tech'] .'</td>'; echo '<td>' . $row['TT_Num'] . '</td>'; echo "<td class='info'><a class=one href='tt_record.php?id=" . $row['id'] . "'>More...</a></td>"; echo "</tr>"; }?></table> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
