Featured Replies

I have created a field and assign a valuelist to this field. The valuelist includes 10 items and each item has around 30 words. In web page When I write the following code

[FMT-valulist:fieldname]

[FMT-Valulistitem]

[FMT-Valuelist]

It only shows limitied number of characters (around 125)

===original/ produced text==========

original valuelist item: 1. Use input devices (e.g., mouse, keyboard, remote control) and output devices (e.g., monitor, printer) to successfully operate computers, VCRs, audiotapes, and other technologies

This item has seen on the website as: 1.Use input devices (e.g., mouse, keyboard, remote control) and output devices (e.g., monitor, printer) to successfully op

Has anybody faced this problem or is there character limitation for valuelist items.

thank you

Is the ValuList being displayed as text in the html page or within a <select> list? I'm just trying to see where the truncation is occuring, CDML or HTML?

Good Luck.

The problem occur in [FMP-valuelist:fieldname]

I dont understand why it works in <select>.

However I need to use Valuelist. I dont know why the filemaker has this limitaion. There should be another way to do.

1) This is not working . It Shows only limited number of the characters

[FMP-valuelist: GS_68]

<input type="checkbox" name="GS_68" value="[FMP-valuelistitem]">

[FMP-valuelistitem]<br>

[/FMP-valuelist]

2) However the following works fine.

<select name="gs_68" >

<option value="">- No Selection - [FMP-option: gs_68]

</select>

thank you
