Thank You G Richards for taking the time to reply to my post with this idea, I'm afraid that even though I do have plenty of time on my hands, I'm not sure that I want to spend it trying to find the perfect word "limit" this is a case of "Bad Code" and needs to be sorted out at source not for us to try and find work around's

I do very much appreciate your comments, but I look at it this way, being a carpenter all my working life, what would have happened if I had only put 3 legs on a table then expected the client to make do and support the corner with no leg themselves ? If you are going to do a job then do it well ! That includes the people coding for this site !

This is a prime example. I tried to just do those two posts' in one and it came up with a word limit error, it is a simple bit of code to add a word count either above or below the text box ! Trust me when I was forced to finish work as a carpenter I retrained by by doing a computer science degree with an emphasis on coding for the web
