Add alert to function 1

[JohnShell]

Hi,
Inserted function to limit amount of characters in a textarea. Want to add alert to that function that informs users they reached input limit - how do I do it?

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
function imposeMaxLength(projects, MaxLen)
{
	return(projects.value.length <= MaxLen);
}
</script>

Input code:

<textarea name="projects" id="projects" cols="37" rows="5" onkeypress="return imposeMaxLength(this, 50);">

[tt]function imposeMaxLength(projects, MaxLen)
{
[red]//[/red]return(projects.value.length <= MaxLen);
if (projects.value.length<=MaxLen) {
return true;
} else {
alert("Length exceeds max allowed.");
return false;
}
}
[/tt]
