[jbossseam-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (JBSEAM-1027) UI component for substring/full string display

UI component for substring/full string display ---------------------------------------------- Key: JBSEAM-1027 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBSEAM-1027 Project: JBoss Seam Issue Type: Feature Request Components: JSF Reporter: Christian Bauer Priority: Minor Probably should go into RichFaces (if it isn't already there), noting it here so we won't forget. A nice Javascript component would be a substring display component that expands the string on click. For example, in a datatable column there is only 20 characters space reserved for a particular column. If my data is longer than that, I'd like to show the first 20 characters and allow the user to display/expand the string on click, e.g. "This is a very long varchar that doesn't fit into ...". If the user clicks on "...", either a DHTML layer pops up with the full string or the datatable is actually widened to make room for the full string.
