I'm not sure, but if people are entering that many characters, why are you
using a prompt at all?
I would think a text field or a textarea might be more useful for the users
so they can actually see what they're entering.
And I do know how to limit those. :)

No you can't. If you want arbitrary input from the user, use a <form>
and have them submit the form to either client- (using GET, the amount
of data you could submit will most likely be 1500-2000 characters) or
server-side (using POST, the amount of data is limited only by the
server's POST buffer restrictions) code.
