With XMod Pro and XMod, you can limit the length of the text entered through a (< input > for XMod). However, you cannot limit the length of text in a < textarea >. The reason stems from the underlying TEXTAREA HTML tag that is ultimately rendered for the control which has no maxlength property unlike the HTML INPUT tag which does. Fortunately, both XMod Pro and XMod provide a way for you to implement a maximum length for the control.

I still create compiled help files for most of DNNDev.com's modules, including XMod and XMod Pro. The primary reason for this is to provide a single-file solution that has a clickable table-of-contents and topics that can link to one another.

With the recent upgrade of DNNDev.com to DNN 5, I've updated a number of modules – among them the DNN Blog module. I've been blogging very irregularly for a couple of years on the site. Previously I limited my missives to just product and site news and announcements mostly. The main reason for this is that the Blog module historically has not been quite up-to-snuff. It was OK for very basic blogging, but since my blogging involved a lot of source code, the module's editor caused more than a few frustrated episodes as it blew up my painstakingly formatted code snippets. Since I didn't have time to write my own module to overcome the limitations of the Blog module, I ended up only posting when it was required or when I had a LOT of time to properly craft my posts. All that (well, most of that) has changed with the recent upgrades.

I've gotten a few questions lately about the behavior of the CAPTCHA control in XMod Pro forms running in DNN 5. It's been discovered that if you leave the input blank on the CAPTCHA control, you are allowed to submit the form. Could this be true? Well, yes-and-no.

I woke this morning to quite a scare. A kind and gentle user had informed me, complete with screenshots, that it was possible to edit the content of all the Text/HTML modules on my site via the inline editing capabilities of the module.
