Number of words in a return field

[martinc17]

Hello,

I am trying to find out how one would restrict the number of words returned e.g. I am trying to only have 20 words returned at a time in the Model Description field and after the 20 words have the word 'read more' that jumps to the next page?

Sorry very new to Lasso

Thank you very much in advanced,

You can do this with HTML and Javascript before the Form is submitted. However, you may have to settle for a limitation on the number of characters.

Good Luck.

Thank you for the reply.

Sorry for being so dumb but could you point me in the right direction as I am new to this and not sure what the code would even look like.

Thank you.

One obvious way (and possibly not the most efficient) is to hcreate a FileMaker calculation that is the first 20 words of your text field and then display this calculated field.

The Calculation field would be the best way to do it :

All the best.
