hi im making a game for the iphone using javascript.I have a scene where the player enter his name,the iphone keyboard pops up but the problem is that theres is no entry limit.I mean i want the player to be able to write his name in less than 8 characters(letters) or so…right now the player can enter infinite characters on the keyboard.
Does anyone know a way around this?
How can i limit the characters pressed on the keyboard?
