I am creating a XoopsFormTextArea and adding it as an element to a form.

$techinfo_textarea = new XoopsFormTextArea("Technical Information: ""techinfo"""675);


I want to limit the amount of characters that are entered into the textarea to 1000 characters. I have a javascript function that I would normally call in the textarea tag like this:

<textarea onKeyDown=textCounter(this.form.description,1000)> </textarea>


How would I call the javascript function when using the XoopsFormTextArea function?

Hi,

You can try this:

$techinfo_textarea = new XoopsFormTextArea("Technical Information: ""techinfo"""675);
$techinfo_textarea->setExtra('onKeyDown=textCounter(this.form.description,1000)');


The setExtra option function allows you to add your custom parameters.

Best wishes

Oh I see. Thank you very much!

Where is the appropriate place to add javascript function? Should I append the include/xoops.js file or create a separate one per module?

You can choose either way of course, if the javascript is only used in that module I'd create a custom .js file or just add it to the template, depending on the number of files I use the same js code in. The advantage of that over adding the custome script to xoops.js is that you do not need to bother about it in XOOPS upgrades
