Textarea - Limiting Input Characters

Can it be done? (Easily)

[andmunn]

I have a simple text area box which users on my site fill out. I need it to be limited to users cannot enter more then 200 characters.

I've seen several sites do this, where they have a box, and as users enter more characters it counts down from 200 to zero. Once it reaches 0, users cannot enter anymore.

Can this be done "simply"? Or is it somethign more complicated?
