Topic: How Many Characters Allowed?

How many characters are allowed between the

<CAPTION></CAPTION>

tag?

I was thinking incorporating the EXIF function from PHP and have it embed between the <CAPTION></CAPTION> tag.

There is no limit.

There may not be a limit, but it may run out of room depending on the layout of your gallery. I had problems adding long captions (ok, my boss wanted a 15 line paragraph...), but other than that I haven't run into length issues.

Re: How Many Characters Allowed?

having similar layout issues - wondering if i need to purchase the source files to remedy the issues with my layout.  there is a 150 px blank space above the movie, and my descriptions/captions get cut-off as well, or overlap with the simpleviewer link.

Re: How Many Characters Allowed?

I think I understand his comments. 

$indexwrite .= '    var fo = new FlashObject&#40;"viewer.swf", "viewer","750", "850", "6", "#000000"&#41;;'.$carreturn;

The size you specified here, you are creating the size of the flash object

<SIMPLEVIEWER_DATA maxImageDimension="600"

The size you specify here is the max image dimension within the flash object.

So in another words, if your height is 1000 while your max image dimension is 500, you essentially have the extra space to have more caption. As you need to have more text, you will increase the flash object size, while leaving the maximagedimension unchanged.

What I dont know and would like as a function is the picture / image alignment function, where i ccould have the image align top/ middle / bottom, etc. Which will allow you to make more use of the space.

Right now the image is align center. So if you increase it to 1000, you might not have the full space you increased it to, since it is aligned middle.
