Others have pointed out the len() function.
As to the event, in general I prefer postponing any validation until data is saved (or rather, until the user TRIES to save it). I find this approach to have several advantages. Mainly, it is simpler to program, the user can input data in any order, and fields the user never enters are also validated.
