Hi there!

Having been given an already HTML coded form, I've been asked to apply some JAVA to the various text fields in order to create character limits as at the end of the field, the text over laps the box or starts scrolling which isn't required.

As a newcomer to JAVA I'm looking for some good resource sites that offer the script for use as in my current programming skills doesn't hold any JAVA capabilities.

I also have a couple of questions with regards to the form I'm programming:

1. Can line limits be set (ie how many lines are used) or is it usually just a character limit?

2. If I set a character limit, would there always be a counter? If so, would it be possible to set it so that there is no counter visible?

Hope people can help and I'll be extremely grateful to those that offer their advice.


Thanks!
