WordWrap in ASP – solved!! (ASP)

Topic

New Reply

I have wanted to get an ASP page to display such that a large text string wraps rather than pushing out to the right. After much work and neural processing, I developed a function that does just that! It’s less than 20 lines long and can be used as an include file for easy invokage.

If ya’ll are interested, I will gladly post it up for view/use/criticism. Frankly, I’m kind of please with myself and want to brag — and people may find it useful. OTOH, I may have missed some really simple solution but I did look high and low first.

Thanks for the reply. I was originally finding problems getting a simple text line to wrap on re-display or print but, mysteriously, that behavior has since vanished. It seems things work fine if you are using text with spaces, like most expected input. Not sure what the problem was. Anyhow, I did spend a lot of time hacking out this function; it still has some utility in cases where you’ve got a long text string with no spaces (such as, perhaps, a GUID concatenation or a long URL reference such as the one on this reply page).

The attached file shows the function and a way to call it via an include file.
