Labels does not render the whole text inside a list. I am using a REST service to populate a list which contains a label field. I noticed that label fields which are inside a listitem does not show the complete contents and rather adds ... and shows only a single line. Anyway to avoid this.
Done by jQuery Mobile when text doesn't fit.
Anyway to avoid that or is there a better control that I can use?
I'm not aware of such control.
Ok, my aim is to show a long read only text. Which control can I use then? Can I make the text area readonly?
Use a Label component.
Yes, you can make a text area read only.
You can do anything the HTML5 elements and jQuery Mobile components will allow you to do. The best way is to read the docs for those elements.
