I have a simple javascript code on a new item page, it limits the number of characters for a multi-line field. After I select someone in the people picker, the form does a quick postback and load, and my character limit no longer applies. Is there a way to reload my script once the people picker does its postback?

I am in Office 365, here is the character limit script, I should also mention this is a custom Infopath form:

function exploder(){
    $("#ctl00_ctl40_g_eefaaee7_0d73_4a99_9ea5_9baa41a0e15c_FormControl0_V1_I1_T22").attr("maxlength", "255");
}
function explodes(){
    $("#ctl00_ctl40_g_eefaaee7_0d73_4a99_9ea5_9baa41a0e15c_FormControl0_V1_I1_T23").attr("maxlength", "255");
}
setTimeout(exploder, 3000);
setTimeout(explodes, 3000);

This worked for me, it basically loops your javascript every two seconds. Just insert your code where it's noted and you can change the 2000 to any interval you want (1000 = 1 second)

<script>

  window.setInterval(function(){

    //code goes here

  }, 2000);

</script>
