this is what I wrote, but I am sure it can be tweaked to be better; it
fires off of the onKeyDown method for a text area
function check_input_length(){
var the_counter;
the_counter = eval(199 - (document.lookup_form.note_text.value.length
+ 1));
if (the_counter < 0){
document.all.counter_cell.innerHTML = "0"
}
else{
document.all.counter_cell.innerHTML = the_counter;
}
if (the_counter <= 0){
document.lookup_form.note_text.value =
document.lookup_form.note_text.value.slice(0,199)
}
}

Subject: textarea field limit
Is there any way to limit how much text is put into a textarea field via a
form? I want to prevent too many characters from being typed in similar to
the maxlength field in a onle line text box.
Thx.
Robert O.
