[jQuery] Textarea to discrete fields
If there has been a similar post to this, please can someone direct me
to it?
I have a requirement within a form where the user needs to be able to
enter text as freeform prose. The text has to be alphanumeric and the
textarea tag lends itself to the job. The complication is that the
text needs to be converted to a finite number of fixed length fields
before being written back to a legacy database.
The scope of a control I wrote some while ago in pure JavaScript
provides the fixed length word wrap as well as notifying the user if
they exceed the total character count or field count (whichever cones
first).
My question is this: is there a jQuery plugin that will accommodate
these requirements and if not; is there likely to be any demand for
such a plugin if I were to write one?
If you can think of a better way to achieve the same result I would be
keen to hear it.
