Now I feel more lost. length appears to bind to the value of the width of the 
displayed column


100 : (pageConfiguration = 'ListAgenda' and propertyKey = 'meetingPurpose') => 
length = "20" [com.webobjects.directtoweb.Assignment]

and binding suffixWhenTrimmed did nothing.

100 : (pageConfiguration = 'ListAgenda' and propertyKey = 'meetingPurpose') => 
suffixWhenTrimmed = "..." [com.webobjects.directtoweb.Assignment]

the end result that I want is that if the string is, "The quick brown fox", I 
want to display "The q…" if the length is "5".

using the ERDDisplayLargeString as the componentName did not do this. Or I am 
missing how this works.
