Hello All,
I have a comments multiline text column in a sharepoint list that I would like to limit the number of rows displayed when someone is viewing the list. Some of the rows are so large that they take up a good portion of the page. I would like to limit the number of rows displayed to one...and force a user to have to click on the item to view the rest of the data.
Is there a way to do this via javascript? What would be even better is to make the text within the column collapsable.
The easiest way is to replace default list view with a data view web part. It has all the functionalities as default list view, but you can customize the look and feel with XSLT. In your case, limit the number of characters to be displayed...
Check this article http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepointdesigner/HA100948041033.aspx (Create a Data View by dragging the data source onto the page).
Paul might have an idea how to fix this with JQuery... :)

Thanks for the quick feedback Toni.
I'm playing with some ideas--nothing solid yet.
