Re: html:text area

I had the same issue, and resolved it by executing a simple javascript upon each keystroke. If the user exceeded the max, the keystroke would be rejected (that is, no more text could be entered without deleting previous text)....

In my JSP...
<html:textarea name="MyForm" property="myProperty" rows="15"
onkeydown="return checkSizeAgainstMax(this, value, 65536)"
style="width:100%"/>

My javascript....
function checkSizeAgainstMax(textArea, str, maxLen) {
   if (str.length >= maxLen) {
       textArea.value = textArea.value.substring(0, maxLen);
   }
}
