form field max size

[seanwest]

how would i control the max size on:

<TEXTAREA Name=&quot;ad&quot; cols=&quot;50&quot; rows=6 wrap=&quot;display&quot;></textarea>

thanks for any help.

Try adding: maxlength=#

where # is the number. I'm not sure if that only works on single line input areas though.

Textarea does not have a maxlength attribute, so you'll need to add some javascript to count and limit the characters. If you do not want to write your own script,

http://javascript.internet.com/

has a number of free scripts that limit text area.

Hope this helps.

The text area would automatically wrap the word when it got to the end of the box, wouldn't it? I haven't done this for a while so can't remember. Why do you need it to be a certain width?
