   How can I set a specific lenght for a single line text field?

   For example I have the field of country code that is lenght=2 letter
   I don't want that will be more space in this field

   In another case I have a CAP code that is lenght= 5 numbers
   I use still a SINGLE LINE TEXT filed because I don't want it as a number

   So I need set lenght = 5 and allow to type in only numbers

   How can I do it???

   You need to edit "includes/view-functions.php" file to do so, let say you have 2 element id in form 38 with this details :

   1. element_1 --> Single text field --> max : 2 Char
   2. element_2 --> Single text field --> max : 5 char

   Then edit your "view-functions.php" and go to around line 40 , you will see this code :

   $element_markup = <<<EOT

   Put these code above that line

   if ($_GET['id'] == 38) {
   	if ($element->id == 1) {
   		$max_length =  'maxlength="2"';
   	} elseif ($element->id == 2) {
   		$max_length =  'maxlength="5"';
   	}
   }

   then go to line 51, you will see this code

   <input id="element_{$element->id}"  name="element_{$element->id}" class="element text {$element->size}"
   type="text" value="{$element->default_value}" />

   replace with this one

   <input id="element_{$element->id}" {$max_length} name="element_{$element->id}"
   class="element text {$element->size}" type="text" value="{$element->default_value}" />

   don't forget to change the form id and element id with yours
