Subject: "maxlength" on text area - how to approximate
Does anybody have a really good way to create the equal of "maxlength"
on a text area? The server running site in question is only running CF 6
something, not 7, so cftextarea won't work...
I've tried a couple of javascript ideas, and as long as you're typing
input, it works. But, everything I tried so far will allow pasting more
than the max set.
I'm checking server side before the data insert, but the client wants to
see something client side while the form is being filled out.
Ideas?
