   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

   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:

   <script type="text/javascript" src="js/view.js"></script>

   exactly below that line add this 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>

   that would limit the particular textarea (with id = "element_2") to 140 characters.
   Make sure to change it with your own textarea id.

   Thanks for your help but please explain to me why this script goes to:
   http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4.2/jquery.min.js

   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

   Hi,

   It just to make you easier when using the code. But you can also try to change this code

   <script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4.2/jquery.min.js"></script>

   into

   <script type="text/javascript" src="js/jquery/jquery-core.js"></script>

   that would give you the same result

   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.

   I figured it out from other forum posts here.

   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(){
