| Is there any way to set the MAXLENGTH property of the textarea tag?
| Simply adding MAXLENGTH=x to the tag doesnt seem to do anything.
| Is this possible?
| 
| Thanks.

Hi Salvatore,

No, the HTML 4.01 spec doesn't include a limiting scope for the number of
characters entered. Check out this good overview on the whole issue of
textareas: http://www.malibutelecom.fi/yucca/forms/textarea.html
There are some client-side and server side solutions here.
