Character Limit in HTML

Limit characters displayed in span

Here's an example of using text-overflow:

.text {  display: block;  width: 100px;  overflow: hidden;  white-space: nowrap;  text-overflow: ellipsis;}

<span class="text">Hello world this is a long sentence</span>

How can I set a character limit for paragraph?

Try this:

.fifty-chars {    width: 50ch;    overflow: hidden;    white-space: nowrap;    text-overflow: ellipsis;}

<p class="fifty-chars">Short event description</p><p class="fifty-chars">Long long long long long long long long long     long long long long long long long long long long long long long    long event description</p>

Text box character limit

This limit is not imposed by MaterializeCSS, it looks like a limitation used by some browsers.

I tested the following snippet on Chrome Developer Tools (48.0.2564.116) and the output is 524288:

document.getElementById("first_name").maxLength = 9999999;
document.getElementById("first_name").maxLength;

There is a question related here (Why is the default max length for an input 524288?).

How to make text with a character limit responsive?

You need to add on the wrapper div (.alert) the following css:

• table-layout: fixed; // so the tables size doesn't depend on it's contents
• width: 100%;

also, you can add on '.thumbnail img' 'max-width: 100%' so the image doesn't get bigger than it's parent.

Limit number of characters allowed in form input text field

maxlength:

The maximum number of characters that will be accepted as input. This can be greater that specified by SIZE , in which case the field
will scroll appropriately. The default is unlimited.

<input type="text" maxlength="2" id="sessionNo" name="sessionNum" onkeypress="return isNumberKey(event)" />

However, this may or may not be affected by your handler. You may need to use or add another handler function to test for length, as well.

Character Limit in HTML

There are 2 main solutions:

The pure HTML one:

<input type="text" id="Textbox" name="Textbox" maxlength="10" />

The JavaScript one (attach it to a onKey Event):

function limitText(limitField, limitNum) {
    if (limitField.value.length > limitNum) {
        limitField.value = limitField.value.substring(0, limitNum);
    } 
}

But anyway, there is no good solution. You can not adapt to every client's bad HTML implementation, it's an impossible fight to win. That's why it's far better to check it on the server side, with a PHP / Python / whatever script.

If input box goes over character limit, have span tag message display

DO this below : If it doesn't work call my attention.

    <script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.12.4/jquery.min.js"></script>

 <input name="requesttitle" id="headline_input" onkeyup="seee()" type="text" placeholder="Give your request a title" required />
        <span id="title_over_limit_text" style="display:none;">Headline must be under 3 characters.</span>

       <script>
        function seee(){
   var textval = $("#headline_input").val().length;
  //  alert (textval); to see count of the text number
    if (textval > 3){
      $("#title_over_limit_text").show();
      //if maybe you want to run ajax request here you can do that.
      return false;
     } else {
     $("#title_over_limit_text").hide();
     return false;
   }
   }
       </script> 

#title_over_limit_text {
  display: none;
}

.title_over_limit_text_display {
  color: red;
}
