Hi, you're best bet is to set this in a basic javscript function, like so:
<html>
<head>
<title>Category</title>
<script language=javascript type=text/javascript>
<!--
function validate() {
maxlength=50;
if(document.myForm.theTextArea.value.length>=maxlength) {
alert('Your comments must be 50 characters or less');
document.myForm.theTextArea.focus();
return false;
} else {
return true;
}
}
//-->
</script>
</head>
<body>
<form name=myForm onsubmit=return validate();>
Comments:<br />
<textarea name=theTextArea cols=10 rows=3></textarea><br />
<input type=submit>
</form>
</body>
</html>
