Description
Firefly NED VOtable handing results in a rendered table where the last row returned has datatype="char" arraysize="*" rendered values get truncated when a format is specified.
E.g.: The value gets truncated if
{{ req.META_INFO["col.External Query URL.FmtDisp"] = "<a TARGET=_nedExternal HREF=\\"%s
"> Link ↗</a>";}}
URL send to Firefly for table data:
From the query response:
<FIELD ID="ext_col3" name="External Query URL" ucd="request.url" datatype="char" type="hidden" arraysize="*"><DESCRIPTION> NED's link to related on-line astronomical services that are specific to the survey or catalog associated with the NED names.</DESCRIPTION></FIELD>
The final record has an example that gets truncated to 200 characters:
<TD>http://archive.nrao.edu/archive/ArchiveQuery?SUBMIT=Submit+Query&PASSWD=&QUERYTYPE=ARCHIVE&PROTOCOL=HTML&SORT_PARM=Starttime&SORT_ORDER=Asc&MAX_ROWS=NO+LIMIT&SORT_PARM2=Starttime&SORT_ORDER2=Asc&QUERY_ID=9999&QUERY_MODE=Prepare+Download&LOCKMODE=PROJECT&SITE_CODE=AOC&DBHOST=CHEWBACCA&WRITELOG=0&PROJECT_CODE=&SEGMENT=&OBSERVER=&ARCHIVE_VOLUME=&TIMERANGE1=&TIMERANGE2=&SOURCE_ID=&SRC_SEARCH_TYPE=NED+or+SIMBAD+Resolver&CALIB_TYPE=ALL+Srcs&CENTER_RA=12h10m32.6s&LONG_RANGE=&FRAME=Equatorial&CENTER_DEC=+39d24'21"&LAT_RANGE=&EQUINOX=J2000&SRAD=1&MIN_EXPOSURE=&OBS_BANDS=ALL&TELESCOPE=ALL&OBS_MODE=ALL&CORR_MODE=ALL&TELESCOPE_COFIG=ALL&OBS_POLAR=ALL&SUBARRAY=ALL&OBSFREQ1=&DATATYPE=ALL&OBSBW1=&ARCHFORMAT=ALL</TD>

Loi Ly, I see what you're saying about the quotes.
Thanks Loi Ly
I see that no truncation is taking place. Using a FmtDisp to construct a href="<ref>" is not appropriate. The NED table of external links can use another mechanism: getFromURL(url) javascript using the same pattern as NED is already using for references and object links. Looks like this can be closed.
This looks like a data problem. The example above contains unencoded quote and double-quotes in the URL. Combined with the `FmtDisp` value, you get an href that looks like this:
HREF="http://archive.nrao.edu/archive/ArchiveQuery?.......&CENTER_DEC=+39d24'21"... the-rest-of-the-string"
The browser will take the value between the double-quotes and make a link out of it. This is why you think the string is truncated. If you save the file or switch to text view, you will see that the value is not truncated.
Jeffery Jacobson, I think the quotes in the url should be encoded with %22 and %27.
