How to check max(length) on a RadEditor with Spellcheck

[Jeremy Coenen]

I've implemented a version of the javascript checking for the RadEditor that is found on this forum, but I am still having issues because if a person spellchecks the RadEditor they are able to bypass the checking.

For example if you want the max to be 100 charscters and they are at 100 characters, but in their text they have mispelled words that when fixed add characters it goes over the maximum length.  How would I tie into the spellcheck control to know the text has been changed and to recount it?

Hello Jeremy,

The client side validation is not so secure as the server validation, because the advanced users can set the editor's content via Firebug, Fiddler or another tool and therefore exceed the allowed character count. Nevertheless, you can check the content length in the editor on submit by attaching to the OnClientSubmit event property of the editor or implement a custom validator as it is shown in the following live example: Validator Support.
