You can use the maxlength
attribute (which is very well-supported across different browsers) on the HTML <textarea>
element to limit the maximum number of characters that a user can enter. For example:
<textarea maxlength="10"></textarea>
This would limit the input in the <textarea>
element to a maximum of 10
characters (as UTF-16 code units).
Please note that if no maxlength
is set on the <textarea>
element, or a non-positive integer value is set, then no maximum input is enforced.
