Data validation

[wwyngaard]

I am trying to validate data on entry in a number of fields to less than 28 characters using java. I know it can be done but just haven't been able to get the syntax correct. Does anyone have the syntax?

Are you talking about Java (JDBC connection with filemaker) or Javascript (web form validation)?

Javascript (Web form validation)

If it's just length checking and nothing else, you don't need JavaScript. A simple

<input type="text" name="yourfield" value="" size="28" maxlength="28"/>

will do.
