<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.

Note that if you specify both the size attribute and the width attribute, the WebTV interface will use the smaller of the two limits.
