Answer 1

All the answers here relies on keypress/paste events. Here is my solution using the input event:

$('input').on('input', onInput);

var inputValue = '';

function onInput(e) {
    if(e.currentTarget.value.length > 30) {
        e.currentTarget.value = titleValue;
        return;
    }

    inputValue = e.currentTarget.value;
}
