Limit Length, Max Characters

The limit length with max characters can be set from the object palette (i.e. check box and number of characters to limit text box too). I want to set those properties using javascript code. I've found the following example:



this.value.text.maxChars = "4";



It works but only after exiting the field, steps;



1) On entering, clear default value and set maxChars

2) Form allows more than 4 characters

3) Exit field

4) Go beck to field, field then stops entry if more than 4 characters.



I want the form to stop at 4 characters when I enter the field, not when I leave and come back. Is this a known bug?

It seems once I worked out version issues between Designer and clinet this problem went away. i.e. Saved as Dynamic version 7 and upgraded the client to Adobe Reader version 7.
