Limit character textarea using Jquery

Here we can do, copy this jquery plugins :

jQuery.fn.maxLength = function(max){

this.each(function(){

//Get the type of the matched element

var type = this.tagName.toLowerCase();

//If the type property exists, save it in lower case

var inputType = this.type? this.type.toLowerCase() : null;

//Check if is a input type=text OR type=password

if(type == “input” && inputType == “text” || inputType == “password”){

//Apply the standard maxLength

this.maxLength = max;

}

//Check if the element is a textarea

else if(type == “textarea”){

//Add the key press event

this.onkeypress = function(e){

//Get the event object (for IE)

var ob = e || event;

//Get the code of key pressed

var keyCode = ob.keyCode;

//Check if it has a selected text

var hasSelection = document.selection? document.selection.createRange().text.length > 0 : this.selectionStart != this.selectionEnd;

//return false if can’t write more

return !(this.value.length >= max && (keyCode > 50 || keyCode == 32 || keyCode == 0 || keyCode == 13) && !ob.ctrlKey && !ob.altKey && !hasSelection);

};

//Add the key up event

this.onkeyup = function(){

//If the keypress fail and allow write more text that required, this event will remove it

if(this.value.length > max){

this.value = this.value.substring(0,max);

}

};

}

});

};

For execute , put on head (but not on your head ):

<script type=”text/javascript”>

$().ready(function(){

$(“#leasure_narrative”).maxLength(300);

});

</script>
