"save_pic_desc.asp"

in both the admin and users area needs to be edited

You'll see something like this...

If Len(Image_Description) > 250 Then

just change 250 to something higher.. I wouldn't go much over 500 though as it may cause problems.. I am really not sure.. Changing it higher is done at your own risk.

Christopher,

I have a follow-up to this question.

Is there a way to get the photo descriptions to save with actual spaces instead of the HTML space code all of the time?

I know that is does this if you hit Enter while typing a description, because it creates a 'br' tag. The main reason I am asking is because if the user does not enter a line break, the description is saved a single long string and the pic_window.asp page is generated with one long description which makes the page very wide.

I tried to get around this by changing the description style in pic_window.asp to reflect a value like 50% or 200 pixels, and I have tried putting it into a table with a fixed width, but there is no effect.

Thanks!

- Jason

Actually, I think I just found my answer...

I will take out the StrToFix = Replace(StrToFix," "," ") bit of code and see what happens...
