[Webdev] textareas (bah)

[William Murphy]

hi all,

it's come to my attention that html offers no facility to specify a
maximum input size for a textarea.
I've seen a few javascript workarounds, none of which seem to work, and
due to a lack of knowledge of javascript I can't really hack at it
myself.
Anyone got a nice simple script that does it without any horrible
downcounting text boxes or anything?

Thanks in advance,
William Murphy
