JQuery :: Validation - Limit Characters To Be Input?

Feb 15, 2011

[URL]

Example for FirstName data input: Characters a-z,A-Z, hyphen, space are permitted. 0-1, !@#$%^&*()- etc are not permitted.

The plugin looks great but I am not able to figure-out how to limit which characters an end-user is allowed to input. Not just which characters are permitted but also which characters are not permitted.

Limit To Number Of Loop Iterations?

Mar 24, 2011

I wrote a short javascript code to try to solve a math puzzle. It involves iterating 50,000 times through a for loop. Nested in each of those iterations is another for loop with 50,000 iterations of its own. I think that's 2.5 billion altogether. Each times it compares two numbers that are being incremented.

I'm doing this in JS because I can't any of the Java I learned a few years ago...

I tested the code with much smaller numbers and it worked. With the big numbers my browsers are not responding, not surprisingly (I'm using the latest firefox on the latest mac os).

Will the code finish running tonight? Next week? In 10 years?

Limit On Number Or Size Of Javascript Variables

Jul 20, 2005

There will be a number of list boxes and other controls, with pop-up windows
to edit certain properties. It's the kind of thing I would normally have
done in VB but I want it to be browser-based. I've only used javascript for
trivial things before so this would be my first serious javascript
development. I would like it to run on all reasonably recent browsers.

The form starts with all the initial values being received from the server
(presumably just by pre-initialised data structures). The user tinkers with
it and when he is happy he presses 'submit' and the whole lot is submitted
to the server (presumably as a form post). This would be a few kb of data,
possibly 100 individual values but obviously in various data structures. I
guess there would be a few hundred lines of javascript code to manipulate
it.

My question is, is there likely to be a problem with manipulating and
sending this amount of data in Javascript. Sorry if this is a dumb question,
but like I said, I only used javascript for tiny programs before, so I'm a
bit unsure about its capabilities.

Limit Number Of Selections In Multiple Select List Box

Jul 20, 2005

I'd like to limit the number of selections a user can make in a
multiple select listbox. I have a note on the interface to say that
only x no. of items should be selected and I check the number server
side but I'd like to implement some javascript to do the same on the
client side. Ideally I'd like the javascript to work in IE5+ and
Netscape6+.

Resolved Adding / Removing And Incorporate A Way For A Limit On The Number Of Fields

Mar 8, 2011

I'm trying to get my script below working. I've managed to get it to add fields dynamically but the remove function isn't right... and I can't think of a way round it. how can i incorporate a way for a limit on the number of fields that can be added?

<script type="text/javascript">
function addInput()
{
var x = document.getElementById("inputs");
x.innerHTML += "<input type="text" />";
}
function removeInput()
{
[Code].....

ah, i've just looked into the operators in more details and -= is just for numbers... so this won't work. i presume this is going to be the wrong method then.

Count The Number Of Characters

Feb 24, 2009

I want to count the characters in a string. The problem here is, the 'return key' i.e if 'enter key' should be counted as 2 instead as 1 character.

I tried few logics but none of them worked out. I tried with php ajax too. It worked fine in firefox but not in IE.

Here is the logic i used. When onkeyup call the js function.. which calls the php page by passing the string as encodeURIComponent(str).

Now, I took the string in php and counted the in the string and added the no of occurrence of to the string length.

My concern is, IE is returning 3 for return key instead of 2.

Result To Be A Specific Number Of Characters

Oct 28, 2011

What I'm looking to do with the following form is when a user inputs a certain length width and depth the output will be set to a certain number of characters. Basically looking to add a zero before an input of a number lower than 10 in two fields (product_number & product_id)

For example if a user inputs:

The output I would like to have would be:

Right now the output looks like this:

The reason for this is so when I sort my products in my shop they will go in the correct numerical order as well as making everything easier to maintain. I only need it to be 2 digits before the decimal point because the max number input will never be over 99...

Here is the code:

JQuery :: Word Wrap A Textarea At X Number Of Characters?

Jul 14, 2010

I am currently seeking help on how to best approach finding a solution to this. Essentially I have a textarea which a user is supposed to be typing a text based email message(no HTML) The textarea has a column width of 80 However there is a recommended width of 53 characters per line. Obviously the user can just keep on typing away past the 53 character recommended width if they want, but I want to add either a form button or a link with an onClick thatanalyzes the contents of the textarea. It should insert a hard return when it reaches 53 characters, but if the 53rd character is in the middle of a word it should count back to the previous space and do the line wrap there.

Can anyone point me in the right direction? I assumed there has to a solution using jQuery, but I am at a loss. I did come across some javascript which works, but it doesn't take into account the fact that the 53rd character maybe in the middle of a word.

[Code]...

Wrap Lines After X Number Of Characters In A Textarea But NOT In The Middle Of A Word

Jul 14, 2010

I have a textarea with a specific width. I have wrap="off" set because I don't want to force my users to wrap if they don't want to. The reason for this is because this textarea is where the user is typing an email message. However I have a background image set on the textarea with a verticle line going down the textarea which indicates to the user the "Recommend Width"What I want to do is provide them with a link to click on which says something like "Wrap Lines" and when they click on it, the text within the textarea would wrap to the "Recommended Width" line in the background image. The maximum length of a line should be 53 characters when they click on "Wrap Lines" link.So I did some searching around and the code I came up with is:

Code:
function showLines(max, text) {
max--;
text = "" + text;
var temp = "";
var chcount = 0;

[Code].....
