You could enter a zero in the maximum number of characters field for this custom field.  This removes the text altogether.  If you do have a character limit for the bracelet names then you could mention this in the custom field description instead and rely on a customer's common sense when ordering.

Of course, this method does not stop somebody breaking any character limit rules when placing an order.

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.
 
Thanks again, I'll give it a try.

It's possible to remove that text, but is it a good idea? The countdown and the warning about not using HTML are both useful information. Is there a good reason, other than aesthetics, why you wish to remove the warning text?]]> Tue, 07 Jul 2009 04:29:55 +0000 https://forum.productcart.com/custom-input-field-question_topic2848_post10553.html#10553 <![CDATA[Custom Input Field Question : Ya know, the moment I posted...]]> https://forum.productcart.com/custom-input-field-question_topic2848_post10552.html#10552 Author: Greg Dinger

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:

I have not tried this, so make a backup of /includes/languages.asp before proceeding.  It may work, and then again...

Find these statements in the above file:
dictLanguage.Add "english_GiftWrap_5a", "You have "
dictLanguage.Add "english_GiftWrap_5b", "characters left. Do not use HTML."

change them to this:
dictLanguage.Add "english_GiftWrap_5a", ""
dictLanguage.Add "english_GiftWrap_5b", ""

good luck.

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. "
 
Thanks!
