I know you want to do it with JAVAScript, but there are simpler ways:
1. Use rows and cols for the size. Set rolws equal to 1 and cols to 10.
2. Use a Input tag with a size attribute of 10.
See if that will work for you Rick.

Subject: JavaScript Question
Hi: I have the following code to check the TextArea to make sure a user
doesn't enter more than 10 characters. It works but badly with a screen reader.
If I enter 11 characters it will keep typing but no more characters are added
to the box. Then when I try to open it again I just hear a ping with left and
right cursor. Up and Down cursor reads the 10 characters but I can't delete
anything using the delete key, I am locked out of the box.
How do you JS folks handle a MaxLength situation that works well with screen
readers? Here is the code I am currently using.It took some work to get it
working but I am not happy with the way it reads for screen reader users.
Overview:
<textarea name="ctl00$MainStarTrekContent$FormView1$OverviewTextBox"
rows="10" cols="20" id="ctl00_MainStarTrekContent_FormView1_OverviewTextBox"
onkeydown="if(this.value.length>=10) return false;"
onkeyup="if(this.value.length>=10) return false;"
style="width:800px;">abc</textarea>
<br />
Note: These are bound TextBoxes inside a MS ASP.net FormView if that colors
your solution.
Thanks for any Ideas:
