The input type textarea for a form has no maxlength attribute like a
textfield, as far as I know about the HTML spec. I think you'll need to
write some javascript code to check for the length of the textarea when
submitting the form and if it exceeds a certain size, tell the user about it
and not submit the form.
Please don't reply to this email asking me for example javascript code,
because I don't have any :-). Try this link below to get some ideas:

Subject: HTML Q: length validation in a textarea field
I am not sure if I can pose this Q here...
One of my jsps has a textarea field that should accept a max of 1024
characters.
I am able to set this in a text field using <checked maxlength="" >
How do I do it using textarea?
TIA
Prem
