Hi,

use onSubmit client script

function onSubmit(){

	var isValid = true;
	var stud = g_form.getValue('student_id');

	if (stud != '' && stud.length > 4000) {
		g_form.showFieldMsg("student_id", "This field has a maximum character limit of 4000. Please revise and submit.", "error");
		g_form.addErrorMessage("You have exceeded the 4000 character limit. Please revise and submit.");
		isValid = false;
	}
	var stude = g_form.getValue('student_id1');
	if (stude != '' && stude.length > 4000) {
		g_form.showFieldMsg("student_id1", "This field has a maximum character limit of 4000. Please revise and submit.", "error");
		g_form.addErrorMessage("You have exceeded the 4000 character limit . Please revise and submit.");
		isValid = false;
	}
	var studen = g_form.getValue('student_id3');
	if (studen != '' && studen.length > 4000) {
		g_form.showFieldMsg("student_id3", "This field has a maximum character limit of 4000. Please revise and submit.", "error");
		g_form.addErrorMessage("You have exceeded the 4000 character limit . Please revise and submit.");
		isValid = false;	
	}

	if(!isValid){
		return false;
	}

}

could you please help me in form of adding above fields in an array and validating same fields in an array.

var arr=[ 'student_id' , 'student_id2' , 'stduent_id3' ];

then checking for validation?

@Are Kaveri 

Was this a requirement from customer to use array? I don't think so.

For your requirement I already shared the working script.

this is for my requirement where we have 10 fields need to validate for each length which does not exceed 255 char limit and also need to write in single script using arrays for all 10 field in an array. your script also worked... it was not from customer but from my tech team they want me to use array instead of validating for each field...

thanks
