rochzle,
sure, here is an example:
<script>
fieldname_value.onkeydown = function () {
textCounter(document.editform.value_application,document.editform.txtcnt,300)
};
</script>
Hi Sergey,
I tried your code above but I couldn't make it work.
this is the html code, it's so simple but I am having a pain to implement it in asprunner. Appreciate your help. thanks.
<body>
<script LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
function textCounter(field,cntfield,maxlimit) {
if (field.value.length > maxlimit)
field.value = field.value.substring(0, maxlimit);
else
cntfield.value = maxlimit - field.value.length;
}
</script>
<form name="myForm"
action="/articles/articles/javascript/dynamictextareacounter.asp?ID=<%=siteID%>"
method="post">
<textarea name="message1" wrap="physical" cols="28" rows="5"
onKeyDown="textCounter(document.myForm.message1,document.myForm.remLen1,125)"
onKeyUp="textCounter(document.myForm.message1,document.myForm.remLen1,125)"></textarea>
<input readonly type="text" name="remLen1" size="3" maxlength="3" value="125">
characters left
<textarea name="message2" wrap="physical" cols="28" rows="5"
onKeyDown="textCounter(document.myForm.message2,document.myForm.remLen2,125)"
onKeyUp="textCounter(document.myForm.message2,document.myForm.remLen2,125)"></textarea>
<input readonly type="text" name="remLen2" size="3" maxlength="3" value="125">
characters left
<input type="Submit" name="Submit" value="Submit">
