textareareference.onkeyup=textareareference.onblur =
textareareference.onfocus= function(e){
e= e? e.target: event.srcElement;
e.value=e.value.substring(0,100);
}
This prevents the user typing over 100 characters.
It is possible to paste a larger amount in a textarea,
but as soon as it is blurred or focused it will get adjusted.
