I have a multiline textbox which can contain only 500 characters. Now i want to show the user the number of characters left as they are typing into the textbox as is the case when we use twitter.
1) Is it possible, in a multiline textbox, to automatically break to the next line after 100 characters? 2) If not, is it possible to parse the enter key as entered by the user to break the line in the code behind?
Some additional info:
The person requesting this does not think that the user should use a single line textbox limited to 100 characters and click an "Add Line" button to store that field in a table.
The person requesting this is of the belief that a DEC Alpha-based system that currently does this can be replicated on the web.
how to limit the number of characters per line in a multiline textbox? Any posibility to do this with javascript? I have the users enter a list of names and need to limit each. I hate to use another textbox to add each name. If so, I would then add them to a listbox instead so they could select and remove a name.
it's a multiline TextBox the MaxLength property does not work. At the moment I only see the option to use a CustomValidator with checking TextBox1.Text.Length on server side and perhaps in addition some Javascript client side validation.But isn't there a simpler way to do this, using the standard ASP.NET validators (RegularExpressionValidator, RangeValidator, CompareValidator, etc.)
I have a formview containing an insert template. One of the fields you can insert is a multiline textbox. When i update or insert, i write the value to an SQL database. The next time i edit the record, everything shows up in the multiline textbox as it was when i inserted it. This includes the newlines(or break rules, or whatever you call it in english) i've entered.
For my itemtemplate, i want to use a label to represent this value. But when i do so, it doesn't use newlines, it just puts the text in one line.
How does the multiline textbox save these 'new lines' to the database? and how can i retrieve them when using a label?

I have a form in aASP User Control (.ascx) file. Maxlength does not work for the multiline textboxe hence it is generated as a textarea, which has no support for this attribute. I could maybe use some asp validation, to prevent submission of too much text, but I want to prevent it to be possible to even enter too many characters, just like is possible for single line textboxes... I don't know if the control has any onload event that I could use to add attributes to the textbox from code behind and and combined with javascript fix this or anything..
I am assigning a value to .Text of a textbox retrieved from a database in Page_Load() but no characters are shown in the textbox after doing this. The value is indeed there when I try to read from it after the assignment. I would like to present some characters to the user even though they are the "dotted" password characters so they know a password has been entered here. Is it possible to do this?
When changing the textbox's text mode to multiline the textbox becomes resizable during runtime. I can't seem to find the property to disable this, does anyone know how I can resolve this issue?
I want to show value in label on textbox change event , means when user enter text in text box then this value should display in label . I am using this:
Form1 is for the administrator. It has 5 fields. Field1 has a value for which the other values give details about it. This 5 fields are stored in a table. Form2 is for a user and its a data entry form. This forms has 12 fields. Each label in the form2 corresponds to the value of Field1 in form1. If suppose the admin fields 10 times the form1. The 10 labels of form2 are filled with values of field each time. The above is what I want to achieve. Also the two text box corresponding to the remaining two labels should be disabled for user.
Is there a way I can limit the width of a textbox to be equal to the MaxLength property? In my case right now, the textbox control is placed in a table cell as in this snippet:
<td class=TDSmallerBold style="width:90%"> <asp:textbox id="txtTitle" runat="server" CausesValidation="true" Text="Type a title here..be concise but descriptive. Include price." ToolTip="Describe the item with a short pithy title (most important keywords first). Include the price. The title you provide here will be the primary text found by search engines that index Zipeee content." MaxLength="60" Width="100%"> </asp:textbox>
(I know I should not use HTML tables to control layout..another subject for sure) but is there a way to constrain the actual width to the max number of characters allowed in the typed box?
I have been used to using non enabled textboxes (with multiline as textmode option) in the past as a way to display multiple lines in a detailsview template. However, what I want to achieve is a scenario where I can use a label with a multiline option instead of a textbox. The reason for this is that I am outputting the content in the detailsview to pdf format and I do not want all the text in a label/textbox bunched up.
