Limit And Show Char In TextBox using jQuery

In this blog, I am going to show how we can limit the number of character in a text box and show how many character are left to type in ASP.NET c# using jQuery.

See given below code:

  1. <%@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeFile="Default.aspx.cs" Inherits="_Default" %>  
  2.   
  3. <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">  
  4. <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">  
  5. <head runat="server">  
  6.     <title>Limit & Show Character Length</title>  
  7.   
  8.     <script src="jquery-1.8.2.js" type="text/javascript"></script>  
  9.   
  10.     <script type='text/javascript'>  
  11.         $(function() {  
  12.             // Checking Address Length  
  13.             $('#txtAddress').keyup(function() {  
  14.                 var Address = $('#txtAddress').val();  
  15.                 var Addresslen = Address.length;  
  16.                 if (Address.length >= 250) {  
  17.                     this.value = this.value.substring(0, 250);  
  18.                 }  
  19.                 $('#spanAddress').text(250 - Addresslen + ' Characters Left');  
  20.             });  
  21.   
  22.             //Checking Description Length  
  23.             $('#txtDescription').keyup(function() {  
  24.                 var Description = $('#txtDescription').val();  
  25.                 var Descriptionlen = Description.length;  
  26.                 if (Description.length >= 500) {  
  27.                     this.value = this.value.substring(0, 500);  
  28.                 }  
  29.                 $('#spanDescription').text(500 - Descriptionlen + ' Characters Left');  
  30.             });  
  31.         });
