Thx Duncan.... Your solution works a treat.
I have managed to resolve the empty string/previous value error after following the FAQ advice on the SiteObjects page. http://www.siteobjects.com/siteobjects/soeditor/pro/docs/cf/getting_star ted/frequently_asked_questions.htm I needed to force an update using soEditorFieldName.updateFormField() before testing the value in my javascript. This is due to a quirk in Internet Explorer.

I want to restrict users from using more than say 150 words. I have tried using an OnKeyup javascript event on the SO Editor, but it simply ignores event calls. Also, when I attempt to integrate the value of the field OnSubmit I get an empty string or the previous value prior to amend.
