I have created several custom fields - list (semicolon delimited) and would like to display them as a list rather than a single line of text

- XXXXX
- XXXXX
- XXXXX

rather than XXXXX;XXXXX;XXXXX;

Is there a way to do this? TIA

well you can go to action window for a large data field

and input

xxxxx
xxxxx
xxxxx

King,

Sorry if I misled you. I have the data already (thanks to atagger RIP!) but would like to display it as a list in a track info page that I'm looking at developing.

Any ideas? TIA

If you just want to replace the semicolons with line breaks, you can use this:

Code: [Select]

<script>document.write("TrackInfo_Insert(Keywords)".replace(/;/g,"<br>"));</script>
If you'd like a nicely formatted HTML list, you can do something like this:

Code: [Select]

<html><head>

<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">
function Semi2List(sWithSemis) {
	if (sWithSemis.length == 0) {
		return "";
	} else {
		// Strip extra semicolons from end of string
		var reTrimSemis = new RegExp("([^;]*);*$")
		sTrimmed = sWithSemis.replace(reTrimSemis,"$1");

		// Convert semicolons to list tags
		var sWithLIs = "<ul><li>"+sTrimmed.replace(/;/g,"</li><li>");+"</li></ul>"

		return sWithLIs;
	}
}
</script>

</head>
<body>

<p><script>document.write(Semi2List("TrackInfo_Insert(Keywords)"));</script></p>

</head></html>

Hope this helps!
