Placing Character Limits on Text

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Aug 19.2005

I would like to place a character limit on the amount of text being typed. I would like an error to pop-up when the limit has been hit as well as not allowing anymore characters to be typed even when the user is typing. I would also like to have the feature of showing the count of characters while a user is typing.

Can anyone help me with the javascript code.

Matt
