Brent,
I had a similar problem. The 'MaxLength' property doesn't work for
multi-line textbox. Not ND's fault, but that of HTML, I guess.
What I did is to invoke a JavaScript function to truncate the field
'onChange' and tell the user 'Sorry, i had to do this'.
1. Set ExtraHtml Property of the textField to
>>
onChange= "checkLength(this,2000,'<A nice user-friendly name for the
field>')"
<<
>>>
function checkLength(textField, maxLength, fieldNiceName) {
var n = textField.value.length;
if ( n > maxLength) {
textField.value = textField.value.substr(0,maxLength);
if (fieldNiceName == undefined)
fieldNiceName = textField.name;
alert(fieldNiceName+" : length truncated to "+maxLength+"
characters");
}
}
<<<
