<LIMITTEXT>
Description
The WebTV interface defines the <limittext> element to set a maximum
width for the text to be displayed in an area. Use <limittext> when your
strings contain special characters, variable text, or expandable text. When
the string value is calculated, as in the case of URL text, the WebTV interface
will impose the width limits on the text when it is rendered. The limit for the
text can be specified in pixels or by the number of characters allowed.
Note that the <limittext> element will be ignored by browsers that do not
support the WebTV HTML interface. Since the text for the <limittext>
element is contained within the element definition, no text will displayed in
those browsers in place of the <limittext> text.
Attributes
SIZE
Use the size attribute to set the maximum number of characters allowed for the
text. By default, there is no size limit.
Note that if you specify both the size attribute and the width attribute, the
WebTV interface will use the smaller of the two limits.
VALUE
Use the value attribute to set the text string that will have the
<limittext> limit imposed on it. Note that while the <limittext>
element is not very useful with hardcoded strings, WebTV Networks recommends
using <limittext> when your strings contain special characters or
expandable text.
WIDTH
Use the width attribute to set the maximum width of the text in pixels. By
default, there is no width limit.
Note that if you specify both the size attribute and the width attribute, the
WebTV interface will use the smaller of the two limits.
