increase html code for Categorie Description

[jd57]

Hi

I've posted a question to this forum, got no answer, perhaps I did not explain myself well.
I would like to know if I can increase the amount of html code for Categorie Description , it seems it ha a limit to a set value, I've checked phpMyAdmin and noticed that it was using "Text" . I made the change to "longtext" but that did not help as well.
Can someone please tell me what and where to make the change

Are you sure that you don't have something in the text that MySql is interpreting as code?

The text attribute allows 65,535 characters and longtext is 4,294,967,295.

I can't imagine a customer wanting to read that every time they went to the category.

If you don't have a strange character in the text, I'd recommend a synopsis in the description and a link to a PDF of the details. Make sure the link has target="_blank" to allow them to close the PDF to return to the site.

Hi

I don't think I have text that might be interpreted as a MySql code.
this is the html code I would like to enter, but only a bigger table with links.
Please help.

I don't think MySql is gonna like the //
Haven't had a chance to try but load the code without the double hashes. The images won't show but it will let you know if the code should work.
