Hello,

I have a login form in which a user enters a username and pwd in that i want to restrict the user to certain no of characters only.

For ex:
in the username text box i don't want the user to enter 25 characters i want the user to limit to 10 chars if he enters 11characters i want to tell him this is not permitted something like that

Thanks,
