jquery text input length control

Question

the text input only allows three words separated by spaces, and if it exceeds 3, the user can\'t input anymore, is this possible using jQuery? I can use keyup event to liste

Answer 1

May be something like,

$('#myTextbox').change(

    function()
    {
         var input = $(this).val();
         var numberOfWords = input.split(' ').length;
         if(numberOfWords > 3)
         {
              $(this).val(input.substring(0, input.lastIndexOf(' ')-1));
         }
    }
);

I haven't verified this code, but something like this should work.

And yes, as mgroves said, don't forget to re-validate everything on the server.
