Custom Input Field Question

I was wondering if it was possible to remove the custom input field warning that shows below the text box.  The one that says something like..."You have 20 characters left. Do not use HTML. "

Ya know, the moment I posted I realized it won't work.  you'll still have the 20 in there.  Hang on and I'll be back when I find the line that needs to be edited in another file.



OK, here ya go.  First, make a backup copy of /pc/viewprdcode.asp.  Then open the file with a text editor.

In that file are 6 instances of statement that contain a reference to "GiftWrap_5a".  Perform a "find" with your editor looking for that string.  The 6 statements will be similar to this:

<%response.write dictLanguage.Item(Session("language")&"_GiftWrap_5a")%><span id="countchar1" name="countchar1" style="font-weight: bold"><%=maxlength%></span> <%response.write dictLanguage.Item(Session("language")&"_GiftWrap_5b")%>

You need to comment them out. 

<!--<%response.write dictLanguage.Item(Session("language")&"_GiftWrap_5a")%><span id="countchar1" name="countchar1" style="font-weight: bold"><%=maxlength%></span> <%response.write dictLanguage.Item(Session("language")&"_GiftWrap_5b")%>-->

There are also some <br> line breaks which you may want to comment but this will require testing as you make edits, and making certain that you achieve the layout you desire.

As you make these edits, PLEASE be certain to place comments in the code so you can find your changes and re-apply them at a future date such as when you are upgrading to v4.

Here are some helpful ideas about editing scripts:

Great, thank you.  I'll try that.  Yes, for now it's just an aesthetic and scrolling/length of page issue.  My customers would not need the count down or html warning, because they are just typing in a name for a personalized bracelet.
