        LimitedText Field Controls

==========================

Description

-----------

This module adds two new field types to the Sitecore Content Editor, *Single-Line Text Limited* and *Multi-Line Text Limited*.

Both controls inherit all functionality from the existing text field controls and add the posibility to configure a maximum allowed value for the field.

The fields inform the user of the number of remaining characters while they are editing.

This comes in extremely handy for field containing a Browser Title or Meta Description, because their length should be kept within the limits of what Google displays in their search results.

Release notes

-------------

*1.0.0*

- Initial release.

*1.0.1*

- Added configuration setting that defines the JavaScript keycodes of keys that are allowed to be used when the maximum number of characters has been reached.

- Added tab, shift, control and alt keys to default list of allowed keycodes.

- Fixed a bug that allowed pasting content using the mouse even when the maximum number of characters was reached.

*1.0.2*

- Fixed a bug that placed the cursor at the end of the field on all key down/up events.

- Fixed a bug that disallowed keys to be pressed when ctrl is pressed (so ctrl+x, etc. does now work when the text field is full).

- Added home, end and escape keys to default allowed keys.

- Renamed the assembly and namespace to match that of other ParTech modules.  

**Important:** Make sure to re-install the entire module with the installation package if you are already using an older version!
