JS限制textbox或textarea输入字符长度(IE和Firefox都支持)

/*设置文本框输入时最大长度   οnkeypress="javascript:setMaxLength(this,64);*/ 
function setMaxLength(e,object,length)
{
 e = window.event || e;
 var result = true;
 if (document.selection){
  var controlid = document.selection.createRange().parentElement().id;
  var controlValue = document.selection.createRange().text;
  if (controlid == object.id && controlValue != "")
  {
   result = true;
  }
  else if (object.value.mysqldblen() >= length)  //一个中文算三个字符
  {
   result = false;
  }
  if (window.event)
  {
   window.event.returnValue = result;
   return result;
  }
 } else if (typeof(object.selectionStart) == "number"){//Firefox
  if (object.value.mysqldblen() >= length)  //一个中文算三个字符
  {
   result = false;
   if (e.keyCode == 8 || e.keyCode == 46){
    result = true;
   }
   if (!result){
    e.preventDefault();
   }
  }
  return result;
 }
