[DHTML] Form Field Limiter

[djr33]

CMND (apple key) + V works with Safari.

I'm not claiming it's a big issue, but if someone were to copy and paste something into the field (such as a prewritten description of something), then it would be cut without becoming obvious to them before submitting.

Why not just add an onChange attribute, so that it changes when typing and also checks after it is blurred and changed.

Or a setTimeout() to update the values, and cut accordingly.

Why? It would work, but that would just be more things running in the background.
We know that onChange will only run when it's changed. It would run each time it's changed, but not the entire time that the page is up.

I think that with onkeyup, onkeypress, and onchange, we should be adequately covered, if in danger of suffocating the user's browser in event hooks Updated.

Seems just fine to me. The only thing I'd say is that you might want to consider a reaction to CTRL+V specifically, so it's more immediate.

Anyway, it's certainly comprehensive enough at this point.
