Hello
Its been a while since I looked through my ARS emails so maybe you've
had an answer to this by now.
But in case you haven't, maybe this might be an option for you. It
stops the user from entering more characters than the field can accept
(on mid-tier that is) and looks a bit similar to the code that the
knowledgebase gave you for the active link.
Add the following to the "Source" tab of the fixed view:
<SCRIPT>
document.FormFields.F536870919.maxLength="69";
document.FormFields.F536870926.maxLength="50";
</SCRIPT>
This goes just before:
</BODY></HTML>
The number after FormFields.F is the field ID of the field, the length
of which you want to restrict. You can put in lots of different fields,
separated by semicolons.
I used this some time ago with version 5.1.2 (on a windows web server)
and it worked on all fields, with the one exception of a field which was
3000 characters long.
Hope that helps
Isabel

I'm not sure if this went out on to the list, so I am reposting. I look
forward to any assistance or advice as the BMC/Remedy Help Desk isn't
very enthusiastic about working on a problem to a version that is no
longer supported.
Thanks,
Bruce

After searching for clues on javascript on the Remedy KB site, I've
found a possible easy solution for my version of mid-tier, however, it
doesn't seem to work. Am I doing something wrong?
Their solution:
Add an active link, firing on Window Loaded, which performs a single
run-process action:
javascript:document.FormFields.F<FID>.maxLength=<value>
..where <FID> is the database fieldId of the related character field,
and <value> is the maximum length of text allowed to be typed in the
field.
My version of this is:
javascript:document.FormFields.F8.maxLength=254;
When I put this in place on my dev environment, there is no hard stop.
Am I missing something?
ARS 5.1.2 p 1313
MidTier 5.1.2 p 1388
Thanks,
Bruce
