I use this function:
<script language="JavaScript">
//limit number of chars in a textfield
function textChecker(field, maxlimit) {
if (field.value.length > maxlimit)
field.value = field.value.substring(0, maxlimit);
}
</script>
Called like this:
<textarea onKeyDown="textChecker(this,1000);"
onKeyUp="textChecker(this,1000);"
onChange="textChecker(this,1000);"></textarea>
Where "1000" is the number of characters to limit the field to.
HTH,
K.
