Limiting field size in IWP

[jerepjohnson]

Is there anyway to prevent users from typing more than a few lines of text into a text field box in a form from an IWP database?

(I have a feeling I may need to ditch IWP and use custom web publishing instead.)

The record would have to be committed first. Field validation does function in IWP.

(Or, if you commit using your own script, you could use your own validation tests and then display a warning message in red text or something.)

Thanks for the input!

I see that I can use FM's field validation to limit the number of characters. However I want to limit the number of lines in the response. Currently users will type too many lines in the HTML form.

Validation by calculation is what you want. E.g. ValueCount(field) < 3
