You can do it in Javascript
function lencheck(obj_value, len){
        // Returns true if value is less than or equal to length,
        // otherwise returns false.

        if (obj_value.length <= len){
                return true;
        } else {
                over = obj_value.length - len;
                alert("This field can only contain "  +len+ " characters. You have "
+over+
                " extra characters.");
                return false;
        }
