I want to set the max character length for a text input widget. what is the proper way to set this property?

It would be extremely helpful to include this info on the widget properties reference page.

Hi walt,

You can use the Maximum Length property selecting the widget and set the value in properties panel.

In fact this information is here: http://www.genuitec.com/mobile/docs/widgetProperties/widget_properties.html

Hi Octavio,

thanks for the response. I must be missing something, here is what I see in the properties menu:
See attachment text area.jpg
Where is the max length property?

Regardless, I am adjusting the property with a javascript function. I have certainly been using the widget property reference — my suggestion is to have a little code snippet showing the jquery method to set/get each property.

thanks again for the help!

Hi walt,

The Text Area widget, doesn’t support this property at this time. You can try using the next snippet code on documentReadyhandler function:

$(“#m1-projectName-textArea1”).keypress(function(e) {
if (this.value.length >= 15) {
e.preventDefault();
}
});
