I am trying to prevent the max number of characters in my textarea. Unfortunately that is not a common with Textareas. I have other options as far as fixing my problem but one of the possible solutions is preventing a paste and keypress with an onKeyPress and OnPaste event. Here is an example of what I would do with a non-dbforms textarea.
<textarea onKeyPress="return ( this.value.length < 2 );" onPaste="return ((
this.value.length + window.clipboardData.getData('Text').length) < 2
);"></textarea>
Unfortunately the tld doesn't recognize onPaste. There is probably a good
reason for this (it's not a standard over all browsers I'm sure). I was
just wondering why.
