Alan,

Try the following code:

var editor = document.getElementById("editor1_editBox");
editor.onkeypress = maxlength;

function maxlength()
{
    if (editor.innerText.length >= 500)
    {
        //do something here
        alert("Max length is 500");
    }
}

</script>

As request, this function is available in the version 4.0 now.

Please check the following example:

Adam,

any chance you could tell me how to use the code example you gave here as I cant get it to work on the current version.

The max length thing is great you have added but I dont want people to type in all their content only to be told once they save it that its too long and they have to delete some copy, which is why the example code you gave would be better but I cant seem to get it to work on the current version.

Cheers
