    Default Form Handler - setting Min and Max characters

    I would like to set the minimum and maximum character range for a text message box in Form Handler. But I used the "range" dropdown which doesn't seem to work. It would also have to show an error msg if out of range. If anyone has an example code that I could insert into my HTML, this might be the easiest way.

    This is a Multi-line text field: range is minimum= 20 characters, maximum= 375 characters. It was set to this originally, then after several updates, it disappeared and can't get these settings back for some reason.

    pdf should read fine, don't understand?

    What i meant by pdf difficult to read is that it is unformatted (see after answer to question:

    Anyway I also could not get the validation to work on a multi-line box. Here's what I tried, which should work.
    >Form Multi Line properties
    >Validate
    >Choose Length in Range and move to right hand validate field as: panel.
    >Click Length in Range
    >set min value to 20, set max value to 375 plus suitable error message

    This did not work so I assume there is a bug in NOF with this. Interestingly if you do the same with a single line text then it works, but input keeps scrolling to the right.

    Can only suggest using a third party form (which I do) such as emailmeform.com. I know the range works there on multi line text boxes.

    ie:
    <form name="MESSAGE2FORM" action="/cgi-bin/SafeMailer.pl" method="post" onSubmit="return
    __fv1_MESSAGE2FORM(this)"> <input type="hidden" name="redirect"
    value="http://theorigincomesalive.com/ThankYouMsg/thankyoumsg.html"> <div
    class="nof-positioning"> <div id="Text48" class="nof-positioning TextObject"
    style="width: 469px; margin-top: 13px; margin-left: 42px; "> <p style="text-align:
    left; margin-bottom: 0px;">Personal information you submit will not be shared with others.</p>
    </div> <div id="FormsFieldLabel1LYR" class="nof-positioning TextObject"
    style="width: 95px; margin-top: 24px; margin-left: 41px; "><label id="FormsFieldLabel1"
    for="FormsEditField1">Your Name</label></div> <div class="nof-positioning

    Thanks for your input. I finally got it to work after some teaks, but still won't show the min and max error msg. Maybe I'll just leave it for now, or maybe try a third party form like the one you have suggested... another I hear is good, is CoffeCup.

    Sorry about the HTML text, I got used to the way 'Core FTP' displays it. Maybe I should use another FTP program.
