paritycheck Bipolar (III) Inmate From: you tell me Insane since: Mar 2004	posted 05-02-2007 10:21 Hi guys I'm working on a WYSIWYG editor - more like tweaking it and for some reason I need to put in a maximum line length check which goes as such that as the user types in the textarea and lets say during typing he reaches a maximum line length it automatically puts a carriage return and puts him on another line... anyway how to do this guys....

Basic idea here could be to have the input() calls in a <body onload> and then document.write() the rest of the page ( though I bet the standard gusy will run me down on this - and they're right.

Now, if you want to secure your site, I suggest you read up on '.htaccess protection' for this is what you'd be usually looking for if you want to protect a site with a username/password that's being asked before the site's show.

All of a sudden word wrap is not working on the textarea in my project where I wanted it to work!!! Is there any way in Javascript that inserts in realtime as you type line breaks when a maximum line length is reached... HELP!!!!!!!

Hi guys

I'm working on a WYSIWYG editor - more like tweaking it and for some reason I need to put in a maximum line length check which goes as such that as the user types in the textarea and lets say during typing he reaches a maximum line length it automatically puts a carriage return and puts him on another line... anyway how to do this guys....

/me stomps Tyberius Prime with a standard stick.

What about, instead of some ugly document.write(), adding the following line to the .htaccess:

code:

php_value auto_prepend_file /system/checkAuthentication.php

The /system/checkAuthentication.php script will check if a cookie is present and either display the requested page or an authentication form posting the data to the same URL and set the cookie.

This way the login/password pairs can be stored directly in the PHP script or in a database. So it's rather safe.

Clean, simple and doesn't mess up with the actual site.
