a) maxlength="xx" b) use javascript (document.forms["frm_name"].elements["textarea"].value.length) (I think you need the ".value" bit)

Is there a way to limit the number of characters that may be inputed into: a) a <input type=text . . . > input b) a <textarea . . . > input I would like to control the maximum number of characters for each of these inputs. Any suggestions of where to look, or how to do it, if it's possible, would be greatly appreciated.
