    <p>Whenever someone refreshes my page or submits the form on the page (and there is an error), the word counter goes back to the original amount of characters. I have a word counter in my form for a particular field.</p> <p>As such, whenever someone tries to fill out our form, our validation tells them that they have to fill out the specific question and does not allow them to submit the form. I realize I could quick-fix the validation by taking out where it says that the textarea cannot be left empty. But that is not a solution I can envisage.</p> <p>Here is the code I have:</p> <pre><code> &lt;script language="javascript" type="text/javascript"&gt; function textCounter(field,cntfld,maxlimit) { var cntfield = document.getElementById(cntfld); if (field.value.length &gt; maxlimit) field.value = field.value.substring(0, maxlimit); else cntfield.innerHTML = maxlimit - field.value.length; } &lt;/script&gt; </code></pre> <p>Followed by my html</p> <pre><code> &lt;div&gt; &lt;textarea class="cf_inputbox required" rows="7" id="text_id" title="title_test" cols="50" name="text_id" onKeyDown="textCounter(this,'counter_length',200)" onKeyUp="textCounter(this,'counter_length',200)"&gt;&lt;/textarea&gt; &lt;br/&gt; &lt;span id="counter_length"&gt;200&lt;/span&gt; Left &lt;/div&gt; </code></pre> <p>How could I modify my code so that if the page is refreshed OR if the form is submitted (with errors - and thus the validation kicks in), that the word counter would stay at the CURRENT number and not go back to 200?</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
