I need to emulate the missing "maxlegth" attribute in "textarea" fields
but all my Google searches either lead to obsolete scripts that
overwrite the "value" property (thus losing caret position) or to
complex solutions that work on top of specific frameworks.

Do you have some reference on how to do it? I'd like to make it work in
at least Firefox and IE 6 and 7.

Thank you in advance,
