Good Morning
I am trying to set an input field to have max length of 4 characters to use as a year field (YYYY).
I have read many posts on this forum the last couple weeks but have additional issues that i need to overcome, from what I have read I don't think I can do it but I am hoping someone can confirm this so I don't waste another dozen plus hours trying.
I am using the program survey anyplace to design a survey, this allows you to upload css files and i know what I am trying to do cannot be done in css.
The HTML of the field I am trying to do this to is.
<input id="answer-1264843-4103251" class="input form-item-answer" type="text" maxlength="100" name="question-1264843" value="" data-order="1" data-id="4103251" data-type="text">
However, I am not able to change the HTML, as a user we don't have the access. You can only access a code view which allows html for the question you are creating but not the answers. All other html cannot be accessed.
I did try this code found in another thread as a last resort, which didn't work.
{
white-space: nowrap;
overflow: hidden;
text-overflow: ellipsis;
max-width: 4ch;
}
Found here: Setting a max character length in css
I also tried using java script and inserting the script tag but as soon as i type it, the code disappears and as I don't have access to the HTML I cannot put it in the head.
$(document).ready(function () {
$("#answer-1264843-4103251").attr('maxlength', '5');
});
<script type="text/javascript" src="//file name.js" />
Found here: (currently looking for the thread I found this on, will update when found)
I hope this question is enough to create a new thread, as I have tried solutions from a range of other threads and wasn't sure if i should of piggy backed on one of them.
Any guidance would be much appreciated. If you need any more info please ask.
