For our users running contests and application processes with Wufoo, you’ll be excited to know that we’ve added a new feature to some of our fields that allow you to set the minimum and maximum of the input coming in from your users.

These new range options provide a way to limit the characters and words entered into single-line text fields and paragraph fields and also to control the values and digits submitted to number fields and price fields.

Instructions for the user are automatically displayed to the user under the field based on your settings. For example, there are three types of wording shown for limiting words :

– If a min is set, but no max : **Must be at least 14 words.**
– If a max is set, but no min : **Maximum Allowed: 100 words.**
– If both are set : **Must be between 25 and 150 words.**

Our international users will be happy to know that these range instructions are powered by our [translation backend](http://www.wufoo.com/translate/). This means when our great community of polyglots create translations for the statements, they’ll work appropriately for the language settings on your form.

###Live Word, Character and Digit Counter on Forms

In addition to the server-side validation for these settings and instructions, we’ve also included a JavaScript counter on public forms that will provide your users a live count of the characters, words and digits used on those range-specified fields.

The new range features are available to all users across all plans and can be accessed from the Field Settings tab for the Single-Line Text Fields, Paragraph Fields, Number Fields and Price Fields. We hope you guys love it!
