If you're doing this on the mid tier, you may want to look at embedding
some Javascript onto the web view of your form instead.

Subject: Character Counter
**
List,
Late in January, there was a discussion regarding using Interval
on an Active Link, for example in a counter to indicate the number of
spaces remaining in a field the user was typing in. I have cut an
excerpt from that discussion around which my question revolves. Has
anyone made this work on mid-tier? If so, what version?
Thank your for any help you can provide.

Subject: Re: Workflow
All,
Funny that this subject would come up like this, but just Monday
I got a
request to build the three second interval counter to show
characters
remaining. Works.
I was concerned about performance too, so my test form has one
active link
that calculates the remaining space in 16 character fields (set
fields X =
255 - LENGTH($field$) every three seconds (one set field action,
16 fields).
The integer fields have no label, disabled change flag, and is
displayed as
text adjacent to each character field. If you watch closely
Aruser's CPU was
up by a (one) percent when this window is open, but you're only
typing in
one field at a time. No human-discernable pause, but the
workflow log gets
pretty large...
There's no client-server traffic in this, networking's not an
issue.
Doug
