Count Characters in TextEdit

[Former Member]

Hi all,

I am working on an app that involves users entering a certain amount of text into a TextEdit element. I am looking to have a counter to display how many characters have been entered as the user types. I have been able to successfully accomplish this using JavaScript in a DynPage, but I am looking to develop the app in Web Dynpro.

Does anyone know of a way in Web Dynpro to count the number of characters in a TextEdit as the user is typing?

or

A way to embedded the JavaScript to update a text view and then call it everything a key is pressed for the TextEdit.

Thanks,

Jonathan

Hi

There is no event for a TextEdit.Hence I guess we can't do this.

What is the benefit of a such a feature? You could at least create a DDIC type with maximum length and bind the TextEdit to an attribute of this type.

The DDIC type maximum length works good with inputfield. But it does not work well with textedit. anybody knows how to fix it?
