onmouseout="this.value=this.value.substring(0,1000);"

You could put the stuff in a function and provide a counter as in the examples in the links above. I tried to put the substring function in an "onsubmit" in the form tag but it did not work, anyone know why?

You also need to do something on the server side to prevent hacking around the html, I did this in comments.php after name and message are checked for input.

[code]else {
$HTTP_POST_VARS['message'] = substr($HTTP_POST_VARS['message'],0,1000); // added to limit length
$my_comment->add_comment($id);
echo $my_comment->print_message("Your message has been sent!",1);[/code]

I am limiting message length to 1000 characters. So far seems to work well.[/code]]]> https://proxy2.de/forum/posts/preList/5635/20774.php https://proxy2.de/forum/posts/preList/5635/20774.php GMT
