It might be hard to create an edit field for the synopsis that would ding or
worn a person before they hit the 200 char limit. I think it might require
javascript, and someone would of course object. Making an edit field that
just won't accept more than the number of characters allowed is possible.
I know that the html tags <input type=edit maxlength=8> for instance, works
just fine. You probably encounter them all the time when you try to enter
your phone number in a web form that doesn't like your way of writing it.
The only problem I see is that the bookshare submit form uses the textarea
tag instead of input. I suppose this is for creating a larger area edit
displayed on the screen. I am not as familiar with that tag, but I know
that I have seen it with maxlenth added to it. when I experimented with it
I couldn't get it to prevent too much input, though.
Can anyone tell me if there would be a problem with using the input tag for
the short synopsis field? I would also like to know what the problem with
maxlenth is in the textarea tag.
