Limit number of words in input

[trojan800]

I have a form that lets a user update some fields in my database. My problem is I need to limit their entry in one of the fields to NO more than 100 words. How would I go about checking for this? Is there some function to find the 100th space in a string or something of the sort? Any ideas are greatly appreciated. I realize that this might be more of a javascript question as well but you asp guys seem to be on point with that as well. TIA - Rory

you using HTML form? if so, then try:

<INPUT TYPE=&quot;TEXT&quot; SIZE=&quot;30&quot; MAXLENGTH=&quot;8&quot;>

Try this link, it's got a JS word-counter... I'll leave it to you to do what needs to be done when the word-limit is exceeded...

why not just slit on the space and test the ubound returned value of the array for > then 100?

If Ubound(split(Request.Form(&quot;paragraph&quot,&quot; &quot) > 100 Then
