Textarea question

[jfield817]

Using Internet Explorer and Windows 2000/ 95 ...

How do you limit the amount of
text that can be entered in a Textarea box ...

The Rows and Column attributes only seem
to limit what is shown on the screen but they can be over-ridden

Thanks
John

Never tried it but I'm assuming maxlength doesn't work in this case?

You may need to use a javascript to accomplish this. To get the script, go to:
