I'd say both, javascript for a nice user experience and server side for safety. One because as a matter of good practice you should never trust anything to have been properly validated on the browser and two because testing the number of characters in textareas can be error prone. I forget which one but either Mozilla or IE has given me length counts in javascript which differ from the String length by the time the value is one the server - basically a CR versus CR/LF issue.
