I am creating a SMS application. You can only use 265 Character. I want to have the Message box (Textbox) only allow 265 characters. I can do this with Validation and that entire stuff fine. But want I also want is another textbox that is counting down from 265 so the user knows they have to start wrapping the message up. Any help would be great, Thanks
I am using
MS Access, CCS, .ASP

Use some client-side javascript: In the onkeyup event of the "input"
textbox (<INPUT> element), stuff the value of 265 - the "length" property
(that wll be the number of characters) into your other textbox.
Goto http://developer.netscape.com, then to the client-side scripting area.

<html>
<head>
<script language="javascript">
function Lengde(text) {
var letters = document.getElementById("counter");
var max = 265
letters.innerHTML = text.length ;
if (text.length >= max) {
if(event != null && (event.keyCode == 8 || event.keyCode == 46)){
event.returnValue = true;
} else {
event.returnValue = false;
}
} else {
event.returnValue = true;
}
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<textarea onkeydown="Lengde(this.value);" onkeyup="Lengde(this.value);" name="TextArea1" rows="10" cols="19"></textarea><br>
<span id="counter">0</span> tegn [Max. 265]<br>
</body>
</html>
This is the HTML example code. You can adapt this to your page very easily.
The javascript prevents keyinputs in the textarea when the total length is over 265. But if you copy+paste, you can input more than 265 characters.
So to avoid this, use this code in the OnValidate event:
with formname
.textarea.value = Trim(.textarea.value)
If Len(.textarea.value) >= 265 then
.errors.adderror("Textarea1 is too long")
end if
end with
I haven't tried the validation bit, so don't be suprised if there is a syntax error or two (it's getting late here in Norway--- )

I understood your code. But Actually let me tell you what exactly I need.
I am creating the database in MS Access. I am making a page for user registration. After the user sends the page for registration, the server should send one unique registration number to the user. I am doing this in Tomcat server using JSP. So if you can help me then please do so. I desperately need this.
