Sorry, my bad, should have mentioned it the first time... $form->addRule ('foo', 'Error!', 'maxlength', 300, 'client' ); This will limit the field to 300 characters. But beware, it will not limit the number of characters, that can be entered into the field, just the number of characters that can be submited. So the user can paste a 1000 character long essay, but he will get a javascript warning when trying to submit the form, unlike the fixed 'maxlength' on a <text> tag. -- I. M. Bur buralien@gmail.com
