Use following javascript function to limit the number of characters to 255 in a textbox:
function checkLength(name) { var textBox = document.getElementsByName(name)[0].value; if (textBox.length>255) { document.getElementsByName(name)[0].value = textBox.substring(0,255); } } And call this function on onkeyup="checkLength('textareaName');" onmouseout="checkLength('textareaName');" -----Original Message----- From: Abhimanyu Koul [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, June 21, 2006 3:48 PM To: Struts Mailing list Subject: textarea how can i set the maximum number of chars in a textarea. i can only set columns and rows.
