Hi



Using dhtmlxeditor, is it possible to limit the number of characters the user can enter?



Thanks.

There is no build in solution, but you can check a possible workaround here

Thanks for the link.  I’ve got this but am clearly missing something as this.length.value is null or not an object.



dhtmlxEvent(editor.edDoc, “keypress”, function(e){



if (this.value.length>=10) {


alert (“You have reached the maximum number of characters”);


return false;



}



})



Any ideas?

In case of dhtmlxEditor you can get its html content. Just for example:


dhtmlxEvent(editor.edDoc, “keypress”, function(e){



var html_content = editor.getContent();



if (html_content.length >= MAX_LENGTH) {


alert (“You have reached the maximum number of characters”);


return false;

}

})
