I see that the max length of a Comment field is 254. I am trying to change the html of my form page, form.cfg.php file, and I found that I had it set to 250 Max Length. When I test it I seem to only be able to enter in 101 characters, including spaces. I originally had it set to the default of 100, but I need more characters.

So I changed this line (in the file labeled 'form.cfg.php'):

{"label":"Comments","fieldtype":"text","maxlength":"250"}},

I don't get it... In FB I see 10,000 as the default.

Hmm, interesting. Like I said when I test it live, i only get 101 characters including spaces. I just checked my FB version and I have 2.4, I see the latest is 2.5. Could that be it?

Always good to keep up with the latest versions... got to go see which one I've got

Updated to 2.5 and when I change the Max Length it still says 254 is it. I must be in the wrong universe :>(

The default Max Length for a Text Area is 10000 characters. You are using a Text Field which is different which does have 254 max length.

Ok, that makes sense. I see how it works using FB locally, apparently I get lost going into the file manager and trying to edit the file to change the value. I must be in the wrong file, and can't seem to find the correct one.
I changed the value from 100 to 250 in the file, but once I refresh and check it using the Inspect Element feature, it still shows 100.

Here is a link to the page. http://dtscarpentry.com/Contact.html I assume, and probably incorrect, that I should be editing the file labeled form.cfg.php
Here is the line I edited: {"label":"Comments","fieldtype":"text","maxlength":"250"}},

Got it, just needed more time I guess. I edited the field labeled 'item9' in the Estimate Form.html. Sorry to bug you guys and thanks for the help.

Note to self, or others that may be watching, I also changed the validation Validation_data.js file, 'item9' to 250 max.

Remember that the form may trip up if posting to mysql.
