jQuery is a JavaScript library. JavaScript Libraries simplify how you traverse HTML documents, handle events, perform animations and add Ajax interactions to your web pages. They deliver your code so that it works across all common browsers. jQuery is designed to change the way that you write JavaScript and allow you to add functionality to your pages quicker.

Its not possible to put a character limit on multi line text box areas in HTML/XHTML so you have to use some form of JavaScript snippet, here is a snippet I use, because its quick and very simple to customize.

<script type="text/javascript">
//Max length multiline textbox checker
function checkMaxLen(txt,maxLen) {
try{
if(txt.value.length > (maxLen-1)) {
var cont = txt.value;
txt.value = cont.substring(0,(maxLen -1));
return false;
};
}catch(e){
}
};
</script>

Then use the following code on the Textarea tag.

<textarea onkeyup="return checkMaxLen(this,5000)"></textarea>

You simply set the text limit by changing the value in the JavaScript function from 5000 to what ever number of characters you need.
