Hi Folks,

I am trying to set up some code that will provide a character count
for the text entered into a textbox on my form. I am coding in VB.Net
using visual studio 2003 - web appliaction.

I have sorted the VB code, which when execute via a command button it
updates the label.

Private Sub txtcomment_TextChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object,
ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles TextBox1.TextChanged

Label1.Text = TextBox1.MaxLength - TextBox1.Text.Length
End Sub

I want to run this code dynamically so that the update happens in rel
time, however I cant seem to get any compatable Javascript that works
with text changed.

Does anyone have any ideas??

Thanks in advance,

Simon

To be dynamic, you should use javascript instead of making a trip to the
server every time something grunts.
