[schwankieog]

i am writing an asp page that will input information into a database. i know the asp and there is no problem with that, but i need to be able to limit the number of characters inputed in a input box to 3 for a certain field in my database. please let me know if there is a way to do this.

Do you just mean this?

<input type=&quot;text&quot; maxlength=&quot;3&quot;>

The maxlength attribute will limit the number of characters you can type.
