How to set width of textbox to be same as MaxLength in ASP.NET
- by John Galt
Is there a way I can limit the width of a textbox to be equal to the MaxLength property? In my case right now, the textbox control is placed in a table cell as in this snippet:
<td class=TDSmallerBold style="width:90%">
<asp:textbox id="txtTitle" runat="server"
CausesValidation="true"
Text="Type a title here..be concise but descriptive. Include price."
ToolTip="Describe the item with a short pithy title (most important keywords first). Include the price. The title you provide here will be the primary text found by search engines that index Zipeee content."
MaxLength="60"
Width="100%">
</asp:textbox>
(I know I should not use HTML tables to control layout..another subject for sure) but is there a way to constrain the actual width to the max number of characters allowed in the typed box?
