# of chars in Text area(HTML)

[svihas]

How do I limit the number of characters in the HTML text area?

<TEXTAREA NAME="value1" COLS=35 ROWS=1 > </TEXTAREA>

I want to limit to 700 chars.

Thanks
Satya

From what I remember, you can't. Just crop the rest of the string before using it for anything 🙂
