limit a repeater height in dynamic page

I created a dynamic repeater connected to a collection Courses in my database. Each element in the repeater has a text box that is connected to the field description which is rich text. I would like the size of the repeater to stay the same regardless of how much text is in the description. What is the best way to do this?

I thought of the following possibilities:

  1. Allow up to, say, 140 characters in the text box connected to description field. i would like it to show only the first three rows if possible.

  2. Constraint the height of the repeater

  3. Prepare an additional field in the collection which will automatically store only the first 140 characters of the description. Connect the text to that field.

Which is the best way to do this, and how to implement it?

Hi,

I was able to find a thread with a similar solution to what you are looking to do with limiting the text that is connected to a repeater. It will require some custom code. Take a look at the discussion here.

Hope this helps!
