forms text boxes

[Guest]

I created a form to input letters and spaces for engraving. The boxes are
one character wide on the form field properties. On the browser it allows
more than one character to be enter into each box. Same when I make a box 10
characters wide. Why, what is the purpose of the width in character function
otherwise? How do I make it so you can only enter a specific number of
characters or spaces in a certain text box on all browsers?

Use form field validation to limit the number of characters that can actually be entered.

The width attribute defines the width of the box, not the number of characters
allowed in the box. You need to select the form box, then right click,
properties, validate and set the min and max width to "1".

sorry,

that should be right click the form-field then select form field properties,
then validate, then enter "1" as the min and max number of characters.
