[RESOLVED] Javascript Limit Text Help

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Jan 21.2013

Hi, I use the below js to limit the amount of text allow in a textarea field. My problem is once the limit is reached I cannot delete anything that was type. How do I limit the textarea to a max length and still allow deleting when it reaches the max length?

[CODE]

function limitText(Object, MaxLen)
{ return (Object.value.length <= MaxLen);}
[/CODE]

In the html

[code=html]
onkeypress=”return limitText(this, 250);”
[/code]

Thanks.

@Zora2012Jan 21.2013 — <script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">

function limitText(limitField, limitCount, limitNum) {

if (limitField.value.length > limitNum) {

limitField.value = limitField.value.substring(0, limitNum);

} else {

limitCount.value = limitNum - limitField.value.length;

}

}

</script>

Success!
