Hello all

I created a how to count the character left to type

The JavaScript code is

XML
<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">
    function validatelimit(obj, maxchar)
     {
        if (this.id) obj = this;
        var remaningChar = maxchar - obj.value.length;
        document.getElementById('<%= Label1.ClientID %>').innerHTML = remaningChar;
        if (remaningChar <= 0) {
            obj.focus();
            obj.value = obj.value.substring(maxchar, 0);
            alert('Character Limit exceeds!');
            return false;
        }
        else
        { return true; }
    }
</script>


In asp source file,
<asp:TextBox ID="txt_Skill" runat="server" TextMode="MultiLine" onkeyup="validatelimit(this,50)"></asp:TextBox>


It is working but when i am refreshing the page that time the label contains the maxvalue as 255.

I want how i disable the writing character after 255 no of character.

Are you sure that you didn't change value from backend in postback?

Use MaxLength property of text box....I believe it will solve your problem
