Hi Akhilesh,

The following example in RadEditor's online help demonstrates how to achieve similar effect in RadEditor Prometheus.

hi the function works but i want to chk only the text count not HTML count
i tried some changes but it didnt worked

[George]

Hi Akhilesh,

You can achieve the desired functionality by replacing the get_Html() method with the get_Text().

Example:
Replace the following line
var oValue = editor.get_Html(true); //get the HTML content
with this one:
var oValue = editor.get_Text(); //get the editor content as plain text

I hope this helps.

Kind regards,

Hi Akhilesh,

You should not experience this problem with the latest version of the RadEditor "Prometheus".

For your convenience I have made and attached a sample project achieving the desired behavior. Please make sure that you are using the "Futures" version of the RadEditor "Prometheus".

Hello Akhilesh,

I am attaching a complete test web site using the latest official release (2007.3.1218) of the Prometheus editor. I do not see any problems with the JavaScript for limiting the characters in the editor content.

What you can try is use get_html, set_html, get_text (lowercase) instead of get_Html, set_Html, get_Text (starting with a capital letter).

All the best,
