how can u limit the amount of characters entered into a form..<br />
<br />
for example i have a form that people fill out to update news and i want it the heading part to only accept 27 characters<br />
<br />
how is this done ?<!--content--><input type="text" name="heading" maxlength="27" /><!--content-->nice one... cheers<br />
<br />
one other thing.... in that field it currently says 'enter news heading here' how can i make that text disappear when the user clicks on the field ??<!--content-->Just add a touch of JavaScript, like so:<br />
<br />
<input type="text" name="heading" maxlength="27" value="enter news heading here" onclick="if(this.value == 'enter news heading here') { this.value = ''; }" /><!--content-->excellent... much appreciated<!--content-->
