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.
I don't know of a reason to keep it out provided that the "not supported by all browsers" thing is documented and it works.
You could have a go at org.dbforms.taglib.TagSupportWithScriptHandler locally and if you get it working then post your code to the list.
Otherwise, the Validation Framework handles max length and do it in an interceptor too in case someone disables javascript.
