This script doesn't work with cftextarea. Got a love Coldfusion.

function limitText1(limitField, limitNum) { if (limitField.value.length > limitNum) { limitField.value = limitField.value.substring(0, limitNum); alert("Character limit exceeded - please reduce the length of description."); } } and onKeyDown="limitText1(this.form.summary,300); Works finally.

Yes now it is working with validate="maxlength".

Is there a way to stop user from typing more characters than say 300 or show char counter?

What do you mean by 'not working'? Does nothing appear? Are you able to type in more than 300 characters? Do you get a javascript error? ... etc
