Hi All,

I have an ASP form where users can paste their resumes, and then hit submit. When a user hit the submit, I want my ASP page to automatically delete everything that is over/after 300 characters long. Is there a way?

Thank you.

Change the maxlength property of the textbox to 300.

300 characters for a resume seems a little small for a resume though.

Hi,

Thanks for the info. I am using a "textarea" box instead of a text box. If you notice, textarea box does not allow you to set a maxlength limit. I have a javascript function that automatically delete anything after 300 characters, but the problem is that if you copy and paste into the field, the function does not work. If possible that I can do this using VBscript in ASP page, that'll be nice. Thanks.

You can use the Left() or Mid() functions to get the 300 chars you want. If you want to delete after the 300 you can also use Mid().
