Limiting Text Entry Field to one character
Hi there,
I'm working on a few possible activities revolving around the text entry / numeric entry fields.
For instance, I'd like to set up a crossword puzzle but want to use individual letters and limit each Text Field to one character.
Aside from doing this in Javascript, I saw you can limit the character count if you set up a Survey Question. The only issue I'm seeing with this is you can only have 1 entry field on your slide when you do this.
Does anyone have a solution to this or an example they would be willing to share?
Thanks!

Thanks Matthew.
That does seem a little involved. I may just avoid text entry fields.
Thanks for the input.

I am also building a crossword at the moment and suffering with this problem. Can you advise the JavaScript you use to restrict text input to one letter.

I use the Eclipse Crossword app (https://www.eclipsecrossword.com) . it is free, automates crossword creation, and outputs a .html file, which you can use as a web object.
See sample here:
The html can be edited, perhaps more easily that JS.
