BeccaK Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 Is there any way to use custom css to create a max length for a specific field in a form block? I've tried to makes sense of the very long thread that already exists int he forum, but it's a mensa project, as it refers to itself on different dates, and then when I go to the dates, it's a link and then I click, and it doesn't make any sense to me, an admitted beginner. I've found html, but that means building a whole new form in a code block, I think. Instead, I want to use the form block that squarespace has and limit a few of the specific fields. Advice? Help? Thanks for your time, Becca Link to comment

Hi Becca You can use CSS to style form fields, but you cannot use it set parameters like max length. For that you'll need someone to write some JavaScript that is specific to your form, to change the form block after it has loaded on the page.

BeccaK Posted November 28, 2022 Author Share Posted November 28, 2022 Creedon and Paul2009 . .. thank you for your replies. I had already tried to make my way through the thread you sent, Creedon, and, as noted, it felt like a mensa maze to me:) 😞 And, the site is live, so it seems the javascript boat has sailed, Paul2009.

Quote so it seems the javascript boat has sailed If you want to test the code first, before upgrading your plan, to make sure it works you can always duplicate your site, or start a new one, and test the code there. I believe you can also upgrade and then downgrade your plan if things don't work out. I think you'd have to get in contact with Customer Support to go that route, for the downgrade part.
