I just add this: if($form_id == 4) - and of course the "4" is replaced with whichever form you are addressing. between this: $(document).ready(function(){ and this: $("#element_2").keyup(function(){ Bruce brucenow on "Text area - limit to 140 characters" https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/text-area-limit-to-140-characters#post-12786 Thu, 20 Oct 2011 02:31:04 +0000 brucenow 12786@https://www.machform.com/forums/ It would seem that if I am using more than on form on my website (which I am) I would need to indicate in the code above which table "#element_2" belongs to. Yes? No? And if so how do I do that? My PHP is not my strong suit.

But you can also try to change this code <pre><code><script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4.2/jquery.min.js"></script></code></pre> into <pre><code><script type="text/javascript" src="js/jquery/jquery-core.js"></script></code></pre> that would give you the same result shamzzz on "Text area - limit to 140 characters" https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/text-area-limit-to-140-characters#post-10346 Thu, 02 Sep 2010 18:50:14 +0000 shamzzz 10346@https://www.machform.com/forums/ Thanks for your help but please explain to me why this script goes to: <a href="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4.2/jquery.min.js" rel="nofollow">http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4.2/jquery.min.js</a> I always like to know what sites my code refers to, incase they stop working then my things stop working etc.. i look forward to your reply thanks shamzzzzzz yuniar on "Text area - limit to 140 characters" https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/text-area-limit-to-140-characters#post-10287 Wed, 25 Aug 2010 21:26:11 +0000 yuniar 10287@https://www.machform.com/forums/ This would require a little bit modifications. Let say you have a form with a textarea which having id = "element_2" (view the HTML source of your form). Remember this id number. Then edit your "includes/view-functions.php" file, search around line 1832 for this: <pre><code><script type="text/javascript" src="js/view.js"></script></code></pre> exactly below that line add this code: <pre><code><script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4.2/jquery.min.js"></script> <script> $(document).ready(function(){ $("#element_2").keyup(function(){ if($(this).val().length > 140){ $(this).val($(this).val().substr(0, 140)); } }); }); </script></code></pre> that would limit the particular textarea (with id = "element_2") to 140 characters. Make sure to change it with your own textarea id. shamzzz on "Text area - limit to 140 characters" https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/text-area-limit-to-140-characters#post-10279 Wed, 25 Aug 2010 16:27:00 +0000 shamzzz 10279@https://www.machform.com/forums/ Can someone please tell me what needs to be changed in the code so a text area can be limited to 140 characters? Any help will be much appreciated! Thanks Shamzz
