This solution is only available to members.
To access this solution, you must be a member of Experts Exchange.
you can try:
<%
value = "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxy
Left(value, 25)
%>
<%
value = "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxy
Left(value, 25)
%>
for a fuller version:
After Submit of your text value:
<%
Dim value
' "txtField" depends on what is your text type name
value = Request.form("txtField")
Response.write Left(value,25)
%>
or you can also use this in the client code
<script language="vbscript">
Sub OnLoad
Dim value
value = "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxy
MsgBox Left(value,25)
End Sub
</script>
