    Keystroke Count

    Does anyone know of a way to count keystrokes client side? My users want to
    know how many characters they've typed into a textbox. Picky, picky, picky!

    Thanks, Herb

      Re: Keystroke Count

      I would recommend just checking the number of characters in the textbox, as
      opposed to counting what they type as they go along, if all you need to know
      are the number of characters.

              Even better: document.forms["formname"].elements["fieldname"].value.length

                      Re: Keystroke Count

                      Can the object referenced in[color=blue][color=green]
                      >> document.forms["FORMNAME"].FIELDNAME.valu e.length[/color][/color]
                      be an "<asp:TextBox.. ."?

                      I seem to only be able to reference HTML objects.

                      Thanks[color=blue]
