Setting Field Size Limits

[OrWolf]

How can I verify that data entered in a field is not more than the database is set-up for, without making the field required? I want to limit a certain field to 50 characters, but I don't want it to be a required field. I don't see how this is an option using form field validation.

there are several techniques... the easiest of which is (IE only):

<input type=&quot;text&quot; name=&quot;somefield&quot; maxlength=&quot;50&quot; />
