This function will help you if you have some HTML table(for example the description of something) when you need to show same data in different places-structures.It crops table rows based on how many rows to leave.My practical application of this was when I had description of product on some page, in product details I showed full table with all rows, and in products list i showed only first three rows of same table.I hope someone helps.Greetz!!! 8)
