Keystroke Count

[Herb Stull]

Does anyone know of a way to count keystrokes client side? My users want to
know how many characters they've typed into a textbox. Picky, picky, picky!

Thanks, Herb

I would recommend just checking the number of characters in the textbox, as
opposed to counting what they type as they go along, if all you need to know
are the number of characters.

Can the object referenced in

document.forms["FORMNAME"].FIELDNAME.value.length be an "<asp:TextBox..."?

I seem to only be able to reference HTML objects.

Thanks
