I'm using a link list for my site, and users can enter in a paragraph in the description field.  Is there a way to limit that field to 20 characters or so, so its not wrapping when its displayed on the page?

In some of the OOTB lists, I can specify the length, but not in the links list.

Hi CS, you can limit the characters if you have your field set up as single line of text, not multiple lines.

Hi,

We can use jQuery to achieve it, we can do as follows:

1. Click New link button.

2. On the NewForm page, add a content edit web part on the page.

3. Edit the web part and insert the code below into it.

<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.10.1/jquery.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script><script type="text/javascript">

    $(document).ready(function () {

        $("input[title='Description']").attr("maxlength",20);

    });

</script>

Thanks.
