Textbox Character limitation

Couple OF Questions related to Text Box Prompt. 

 

I have a a text box prompt which has the restriction to only accept numeric value up to 9 digits.  The ask is to count the digits while user adding the entry to the text box so users would know how many digits has been added to the box.  I am not able to get around it I know there might be a java script that I can use that can calculate the digits while it is being added to the text box  and show the character count underneath the text box but cannot find the script  online.

 

One other requirement to create a info popup when users puts less than 8 digits when submit button is clicked.

@khumer If you want to handle validation of Text Input through its Change Event Handler (and using an independent search to perform complex validation as per your requirement), you should be able to get to your desired result directly through Simple XML without any JS. Please try the following run anywhere example.
