Change Field Length Programatically

Applications Forms
#1

Is there a way to change the length of a text field programatically?

Based on the userlevel for the user, I want to text field to be 20 characters long, and for others 40 characters long.

It would be perfect if it could show remaining characters also.

I’m not sure about changing the length, but you could probably do the characters left yourself somehow, using an ajax_onchange event.

Has anyone found a way to limit the field length in the form so I can have different lengths depending on the level of my user?

I would imagine you could use JS to change the field width.

if (user.level == 9) {
var textbox = document.F1.getElementById(“textBox”);
textbox.style[“width”] = “20px”;
}

This has not been tested.
