Limit the text area using Javascript

 To limit the textarea using javascript, we can use the below simple code which limits the textarea characters.

function textLimit(field, maxlen) {
        if (field.value.length > maxlen + 1)
            alert('Total Length is only '+ maxlen +' Characters');
        if (field.value.length > maxlen)
            field.value = field.value.substring(0, maxlen);
    }

and the code to be used in the textarea is shown below.

<textarea name='address'  cols='28' rows='4'  onkeyup="textLimit(this,350)"></textarea>
