how to limit number of rows in a textarea

[ryna]

:confused;
I have a problem with limiting the textarea to a certain number of rows -
after I specify the number of lines to 4 or any other number it just doesn't
stop, it keeps moving without any limit. Could you please help me to overcome
this problem? I tried with all 'wrap' options and it didn't work. I need this
feature on my pages, because I have to limit the amount of text that they input
to the database.
What should I do to make this work?

Thanks in advance...Ryna

Hi Ryna,

If I understand your question correctly, you need to limit the amount of
characters entered in the textarea so the character limit does not exceed
your database field limit. You can use a javascript function to perform
this check, and or, you can use server-side code to check the length of the
textarea value.

Hope this helps.
Regards,

Thanks for your response, but my problem still exists...I'm not good with JS,
only VBScript and VB.NET, and this web application has been developed using
ASP, so I can't use VB.NET to solve the problem. Could you be able to provide
me with the code, please?
Thanks in advance...
