TOPIC: Limit Word Count on Text Area Field

Limit Word Count on Text Area Field 10 years 9 months ago #28206

Hi

I have used the following code in the CSS/Javascript properties
<script type="text/javascript">
function rslimitText(limitNum) {
if (document.getElementById("area").value.length >= limitNum) {
document.getElementById("area").value = document.getElementById("area").value.substring(0, limitNum);
}
}
</script>

and then added this Additional Attribute on the fields:
onkeyup="rslimitText(20);"

This works on a new form I created but I'm trying to get it to work on several existing forms but the fields still allow more than the limited number of characters. Does anyone know why this would be?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Please make sure to change "area" with the actual name of the Text area from your form.

Yes I did this. I changed area to each text area field name.

To count the number of characters (and words), I prefer to use an online tool at Word Counter Tool or Character Count Tool. They work like a charm with an extensive extra statistics.
