Vibhor What have you put inside the div

To my understanding use a label. and if you are having something
descriptive use .

CSS Control is always better...

When I asked this question, pbreit, provided me with the following solution:

'''
I'd probably use a function or virtual field for that, not store it in DB.

And it could be cleaned up a bit. Something like:

def trunc_desc(s)
if len(s) > 128:
return s[:128] + '...'
return s
'''


You could also set the overflow property of the div in css.

You want style of overflow:hidden I believe.
