I forgot where I go to so can hide the character count from displaying on my viewprd.asp page. I do not want to show the message.

Thanks.

I mean from the custom input text areas!

Simply set the maximum chars to 0 and the char count will not be displayed.

Can't remember where I do that?

Also, will it hide the language on how many characters are allowed and how many are left to be used?

I want to remove that completely.

Navigate to your product in the control panel. When you're on the Modify Product page, click the text link along the top to Custom Fields. On that screen click edit for the field(s) you want to change.

Setting maximum chars to 0 will prevent the entire line from displaying.

OK Thanks.

Do I need to do this for each product? There is no way to remove it from the custom input field altogether.

I tried that, but I cannot add to a single line input anything.

Where in the code can I hide the message without changing the settings?

ah. I do see that on text inputs as opposed to textareas.

Easiest thing to do here would be to find the following in viewPrdCode.asp:

<% if TextArea="-1" then %>
    <br>
    <textarea name="xfield1" cols="<%=widthoffield%>" rows="<%=rowlength%>" style="margin-top: 6px" <%if maxlength>"0" then%>onkeyup="javascript:testchars(this,'1',<%=maxlength%>);"<%end if%>><%if tIndex<>0 and (xfieldArrCnt > 0 or isArrCount>0) then response.write tempIdOpt(0) end if %></textarea>
    <%if maxlength>"0" then%>
    <br>
    <%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")%>
    <%end if%>
<% else %>
    <br>
    <input type="text" name="xfield1" size="<%=widthoffield%>" maxlength="<%=maxlength%>" style="margin-top: 6px" <%if tIndex<>0 and (xfieldArrCnt > 0 or isArrCount>0) then%> value="<% response.write tempIdOpt(0) %>" <%end if %> <%if maxlength>"0" then%>onkeyup="javascript:testchars(this,'1',<%=maxlength%>);"<%end if%>>
    <%if maxlength>"0" then%>
    <br>
    <%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")%>
    <%end if%>
<% end if %>

and change that to:

<% maxlength=0 %>
<% if TextArea="-1" then %>
    <br>
    <textarea name="xfield1" cols="<%=widthoffield%>" rows="<%=rowlength%>" style="margin-top: 6px" <%if maxlength>"0" then%>onkeyup="javascript:testchars(this,'1',<%=maxlength%>);"<%end if%>><%if tIndex<>0 and (xfieldArrCnt > 0 or isArrCount>0) then response.write tempIdOpt(0) end if %></textarea>
    <%if maxlength>"0" then%>
    <br>
    <%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")%>
    <%end if%>
<% else %>
    <br>
    <input type="text" name="xfield1" size="<%=widthoffield%>" style="margin-top: 6px" <%if tIndex<>0 and (xfieldArrCnt > 0 or isArrCount>0) then%> value="<% response.write tempIdOpt(0) %>" <%end if %> <%if maxlength>"0" then%>onkeyup="javascript:testchars(this,'1',<%=maxlength%>);"<%end if%>>
    <%if maxlength>"0" then%>
    <br>
    <%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")%>
    <%end if%>
<% end if %>

Thanks for all your help. I noticed that it removes it from the first textfield, but not from the additional textareas.

Should I duplicate this code for each textarea?

Oh, right. Sorry. I don't have a lot of time to give tips at the code level.

PC has up to three max of these types of fields, as I recall. So, yeah, you'd need to do the same for each of them if you want to kill this on all of them.

They are signified by "xfieldN" where N is a number from 1-3. Find the same chunk of inline code for xfield2 and xfield3 and you should be all good.

EI's code really should be more modular here -- it's the same code for each iteration ... begs for a subroutine with the field ID as a variable fed into it, IHMO.
