Almost, it is compared with formname.value.length like in the example
below. Doesn't work flawlessly (one can paste stuff into the field
without pressing a key), but it is a start.
<textarea name="text" onkeypress="return checkLength(this,500)">
<script language="JavaScript">
function checkLength(formfield,limit) {
if (formfield.value.length > limit) {
alert("Only " + limit + " characters allowed.");
return false;
}
}
</SCRIPT>
