I want to use jTextFields that will only accept a fixed number of
characters (without scrolling to the left), and that will limit the
input to only numeric digits. Any thoughts?

Please cross-post, rather than multi-post (/repost*).

* Note that the text is reworked, and the post better
titled, on the later post to c.l.j.help.

Try

to filter numeric input
http://www.rgagnon.com/javadetails/java-0198.html
for the maximum length.

Try using this: http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/javax/swing/
JFormattedTextField.html

A couple of notes..

- Long URL's can be protected from line wrap
by enclosing them in '<' & '>'. E.G.
<http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/javax/swing/
JFormattedTextField.html>
- This suggestion had already been made as a
reply to one of the OP's other multi-posts. I.E.
<http://groups.google.com/groups?selm=tBfuh.1464$wv6.251@newsfe04.lga>
- The post to which you replied had no content
on which you were commenting. It would have
been better to reply to the OP's first post.

Also, please refrain from top-posting. I find
it very confusing.

Well damn it.. usually they can, I'll try that again*..
<http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/javax/swing/
JFormattedTextField.html>
(and a different way)
<url:http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/javax/swing/
JFormattedTextField.html>

Apparently the long URL line wrap doesn't work.
