Limit the length of textarea in struts.

Does anyone know how to set the maxlength for a textarea. I have a requirement where in the User should not be allowed to enter more than 1000 characters in a textarea.

I tried setting maxlength=1000, but then its not working.

Thanks in advance

It seems not able to set this property,

also in HTML tag "textarea"

I don't believe you can set a maximum length on a text area. One possible work-around would be to use JavaScript to check the size of the data in the text area when the fom is submitted and then issue an error message if it exceeds 1000.

There aren't many rules that you need to worry about here on the Ranch, but one that we take very seriously regards the use of proper names. Please take a look at the JavaRanch Naming Policy and adjust your display name to match it.

In particular, your display name must be a first and a last name separated by a space character, and must not be obviously fictitious.

Thanks!

I have changed the display name as per the naming policy.
