field size recuction

[Former Member]

Hi, I want to make my inputfield 20 marks long and no longer. I know there is a "lenght" option but it does not prevent anyone to write longer string than 20 marks. Please advice. Regards

Hi

Create a simpleType (Say String20).

By default it is String.

Specify Length Constraints

Maximum Length: 20

Save metadata.

make the context attribute which is assigned to inputfield of this simpleType (i.e. String20).

regards,

Siva

Hi,

What you can do is to check the string length in the server side(After submitting the form or onEnter action handler).If the length exceeds 20 you can give a message using MessageManager api

Thanks for sugestion, I would prefer way that couse for the user not being able to write any further than amount of signs I set up during developement. Plus, I would like to "visible" part (so its size stays as it is when I add it) of field not being changed. It would make application looking better than everysingle inputfield with different lenght.
