Setting up maxlength of input text are easy. Just an attribute maxlength="##"
does the work. But maxlength attribute does not work with textarea
. I tried writing <textarea rows=”5″ cols=”30″ maxlength=”120″></textarea> but this does not works.
So what to do if we want to fix the maxlength of a textarea?
Use following jQuery plugin for setting maxlength of any textarea on your page.
First thing for doing is to add maxlength="XX"
attribute in your <textarea>
tag.
<textarea maxlength="15" rows="5" cols="30" name="address"></textarea>
Include the jQuery plugin javascript file in your html page where the textarea is.
<script language="javascript" src="jquery.maxlength.js"></script>
And, add following code snippet at the end of your html page.
<script type="text/javascript"> jQuery(document).ready(function($) { //Set maxlength of all the textarea (call plugin) $().maxlength(); }) </script>
That’s it.. This jQuery plugin will search every textarea on your page and restrict the user to enter text till the maxlength.
Following is the code of plugin
