How To Add Maxlength To Jeditable

Just a snippet for anyone using the Jeditable Plugin, which enables editing-in-place functionality via jQuery, if you want to add “maxlength” controls to the fields.

• in the jquery.jeditable.js file, add maxlength : ‘ ‘ to var settings={ }, around line 78
• in the same file, add input.attr(’maxlength’, settings.maxlength); after input.attr(’name’, settings.name); which is around line 230
• then in your main $(document).ready(function() { } ); add maxlength : ‘30′, or whatever value you want in the list of properties (indicator, type, tooltip, etc.)

That’s it. I had seen some pointers for this here, but I wanted to expand and add some clarity for all 12 people on the Internet who might be curious about this.
