"The WebTV interface defines the <limittext> tag to set a maximum width for the text to be displayed in an area. Use <limittext> when your strings contain special characters, variable text, or expandable text. When the string value is calculated, as in the case of URL text, the WebTV interface will impose the width limits on the text when it is rendered. The limit for the text can be specified in pixels or by the number of characters allowed.
Note that the <limittext> tag will be ignored by browsers that do not support the WebTV HTML interface. Since the text for the <limittext> tag is contained within the tag definition, no text will displayed in those browsers in place of the <limittext> text.
Example:
<limittext size="25" value=""&url;">
