Tom,
I use a function called limitLength(). Like this:
function limitLength(field,maxLength) {
if (field.value.length > maxLength)
{
field.value = field.value.substring(0,maxLength);
alert('This field will only hold '+maxLength+' characters.');
}
}
<textarea name="Title" rows=3 cols=50
onKeyUp="limitLength(this,255)"></textarea>

Subject: Witango-Talk: OT: Javascript assistance needed
Does one of the JavaScript gurus have an example of limiting a <textarea>
tag to a certain number of allowable characters as input?
Any assistance would be welcome.
