you can limit them to how many characters they type...

function TextMaxLength(evt, field)
        {
                charCode = evt.keyCode;
                if (field.length > 75)
        {
        return false;
        }
}

<TEXTAREA NAME="notes" ROWS="3" COLS="30" WRAP="HARD" onKeyPress="return
TextMaxLength(event, document.formName.textArea.value);"></TEXTAREA>

Since there is not a cftextarea, how do I through up an alert in javascript
telling the user they have entered to many characters in a  textarea. I know
this is off subject but any help would be appreciated.
