You can test the length, then halt processing if it's too long.
var maxLength=500;
function validateTextarea(form){
if (form.<textareaname>.value.length > maxLength){
alert('Your input is ' + form.<textareaname>.value.length +
' characters. Please make it less than ' + maxLength + ' characters.');
return false;
}
return true;
}

Is there a way to set a maxlength on a textarea using javascript or any
other method.
