How to insert and display long sentenses (256 characters long)

r p

17y6.9k.NET

I have a page where users can insert about them. I don't want them to enter more than 256 characters.

At present I am using a text box with multiline, but I can't use range validator. It is not working with it.

What should I use to receive the sentence with 256 characters length?

In order to display I am using a literal. But, it is displaying the sentence from one end of the site to the other end of the site.

I want it to be display in a small paragraph. So what should I use to display the sentence in a paragraph?

Thanks,

Its simple, just fill the dataset as per your query and get the value of perticular filed in the TextBox, thats all.

Hi,
I manage to make the text box validated using Javascript. Now, I don't know how to display the sentence is a paragraph. What should I use to display the text of 256 characters?

you can do this in diff way, either you can use the MaxLenght property of textbox to 256, so user cannot enter more than 256 words, or else you can write on javascript function at onblur for textbox, if value in the textbox is more than 256 then you can display the Messagebox, so as per your requirement you can do that. i hope you got what i am tring to say.

Regards.

Just set the maximum length (MaxLength) to 256
