On a simple web form. How would I limit the number of charictors allowed.

Thanks in advance.

<input maxlength="max # of chars." ... >

There's no maxlength available for <textarea> however, so you'd have to use Javascript (some sort of test on document.Form.Textarea.value.length ).

<form method="POST" action="whatever.cgi">
<p><input type="text" maxlength="100" name="foo" size="30"></p>
<p><input type="submit" value="Submit" name="go"></p>
</form>

I tried your idea, works great, thanks very much.
