Maxlength of a text field is not being readout by Jaws. Is there a way by which this information can be made availble to the screen reader users?
As a screen reader user who has used Jaws for the passed 12 years the answer is no. If something has a limited length such as a username or password you should note this on the text of the page near the form field with the limited length. For example near a username field you could put something like "Username must be between 8 and 20 characters, contain letters or numbers, and cannot contain spaces or punctuation"

I need to read PDF417 barcode for Iraqi passport and extract the information from it.
I scanned the barcode successfully and it contains two parts, first part is the MRZ and the second part is an encoded/encrypted text. so is there a way to know the method used to encode this text and how to decode it?
this is the encoded/encrypted part:

Go to https://www.base64decode.org/, copy and paste your text and remove the bar | symbol from the beginning and ending. Then select ISO-8859-6 as the character set and click the DECODE button. You'd have to exclude certain characters from the result to piece together the actual contents.
I have a 54 pages PDF file. In this PDF, I have some fields like Full Name, the Phone number, etc that repeats more than 10 times. How can do like When I enter Full name one time and all of the remaining full name fields can be filled automatically using Adobe Acrobat?
I hope I asked my question clearly. Thank you for your time and help.
The easiest is, when all properties of the field (font type, size, color, etc.) are the same, to simply copy the field to the other pages.
The field value is a so-called field level property, which will be the same for all instances of the field.
If you want to have only one place where the value can be entered, and the dependent fields should be read-only, you would have to have a different name for the entry field and display fields. In the entry field, you would then add the following line of code in either the Format or onBlur event:
this.getField("myDisplayFields").value = event.value ;
And that should push the value from the entry field to all fields named myDisplayFields.
And that's it…
Users enter statistical data into a MS Access database memo field that contains examples like this (p<0.001). For some reason Access displays this in the form or report as (p><0.001). It doesn't happen for the first example of p< in a memo field - only on the subsequent instances. This also causes any text after the final > not to be displayed on reports.
From what I can tell it is doing some strange autocorrect of html by attempting to complete the <p>!
Interestingly the data in the underlying table is correct. The field is formatted as plain text.
Does anyone have any thoughts on how to prevent this?
Thanks.
I need to ensure that a password entered into a form is at least 8 characters long. What is the best way to perform this validation in ASP.net?
Usa a RegularExpressionValidator with a ValidationExpression like this: .{8,} (any character, 8 or more of that)
What is the purpose and proper use of the max-length property on text fields?
The application I'm working on limits numeric fields to 6 characters... which doesn't work very well for entering millions of dollars... which is why I'm "fixing" it.
MaxLength Sets or receives the maximum number of characters that a user can enter into a Text control.
EDIT: You do this to prevent having to process something that you know is guaranteed to be wrong.
If you have a text field in your database that is set to 10 characters and the user enters 11 and you don't handle it properly, you cause an exception.
So, just set the maxlength to 10 and you won't have any problems like this.
The Maximum length attribute of a text field and/or textarea effectively limits the user from entering data that is outside the bounds and constraints you have set for your database.
You can use this to make sure users enter in valid SKU numbers, blog titles, ISBN numbers, etc. It is a rudimentary form of data validation.
This doesn't always need to be tied to data validation though.
You could want to limit the length of a string that a user has entered for aesthetic reasons when displaying that data on a page in another location.
