If you want to limit the number of characters, do this:
<input type=&quot;text&quot; maxlength=&quot;12&quot;>
Otherwise, I think this is what you want:
<input type=&quot;text&quot; style=&quot;width:100px;&quot;>

Thanks for ur reply.
But, i think that will not solve my problem. Let me clear my question. If suppose,i have a comment field..where user will write a few lines. When i will show them back to the user by accessing it from database. I don't want to show the user the whole comment. While, i want to show the user a starting few words with the trailing '...'

for ex: this is my feed....

I hope i m clear this time.
please respond.
thanks

if you are selecting the data from a DB then simple take the data and give a variable that value. then as long as this is ASP use the left function to extract a portion of the variables contents out and concatinate the ... to that variable.
this is if you are using ASP/VBScript though. if not you need to specify those details as well.

left function syntax is
Left(string, length) A language that doesn't affect the way you think about programming is not worth knowing.
