Hi Inthane: I will add a label control to display a running total or remaining characters under the TextArea to give real-time FeedBack to sighted users. I have the left mouse click generate a PopUp with the numbers for screen reader users as well as a PopUp that comes up if the Max size is reached. Both then will not allow further insertion of characters until others are deleted. This puppy is almost ready. Man, is JavaScript finiky! I got no syntax errors but spaces between variables and operators and capitalization of command keywords will cause the JS to just not work properly with no notification there is any problem except it doesn't do what you would expect. Perhaps there are some settings I can set to make this better if I am going to be doing more work in JavaScript. Anyway, thanks for the heads up. Rick USA
