Limited number of symbols in textarea.

Hello,

I would like to create a text area where user can write only a limited
number of symbols. Anybody know whether it can be done in html?

It can't, you can use JavaScript and Google should turn up some code to do
it. (Of course the user can override it, as they can with the maxlength
attribute for input. You need a server side check if you want to enforce
it).
