Limiting input in textbox

[Ni Na]

Hi I have a screen that needs to limit the comments field to 450 charaters. I have set the Maxlength to 450 but it still allows the user to carry on typing. I have also tried using a javascript function but it is causing a server script error on this screen. The record is then submitted and sent via workflow to an approver but when the approver wants to approve it an error message appears saying that the string has been truncated and the statement terminated. Any idea on how to prevent this error? How do I limit the input?

are you using textmode:multiline as it doesn't work for this you could try a custom validator for the textbox and set the limit to 450

if the textbox is muilti rows, the maxlenth is invalid.. so you can use the javascript ... can you show the javascript error on your screen?
