Limit field display length on list views

Is there any way to limit the character length that's displayed in a list view?

We have one using all 4 columns and one of them is a testimonial field. If the testimonial is long it throws everything else off.


Using a standard textarea field.

Thanks

You could use a CB Query Field to query the database for the value and that'd let you use SQL functions to shorten it. You could also use CSS to limit the height of the row and set overflow to hide. You could also try using text-overflow (CSS3), but it'll only work on modern browsers, which should be ok. You can see an example of text-overflow below.

More information on text-overflow can be found below as well.

I suggest the CSS approach as it's better then querying to database multiple times for the field.

Thanks for the reply.
Going with a CSS based approach in this case. Quickest and easiest
