<textarea> proprietary attribute

hii..

Here's a simple HTML code for textarea. I am using MaxChars attribute which is used further in some Javascript. But it is proprietary thus it gives 1 XHTML validation error.

HTML Code:

<textarea MaxChars="1000" name="description" id="description" rows="6" cols="50">Testing</textarea>

Note:- It works perfect. All I want to know is how to replace MaxChars with its equivalent that is XHTML valid.

You can use the setattribute function to set it before your javascript code.

Code:

element.setAttribute('MaxChars', 1000);

thanks for replying but i'm not sure how to make it work !

see this is my actual textarea:-

HTML Code:

<!-- Text Area -->

<textarea MaxChars="1000" name="description" id="description" rows="6" cols="50" style="width:540px" onkeypress="if (this.value.length >= parseInt(this.attributes['MaxChars'].value)) return false;" onkeyup=" document.getElementById( this.id+'_charsCount' ).innerHTML = (parseInt(this.attributes['MaxChars'].value)-parseInt(this.value.length));"></textarea>

<!-- Text Area -->

As you can see all my JS is within onkeypress and onkeyup attribute of textarea. Now how do I use setattribute for MaxChars ?

Thank you

Can't you not use a maxchars attribute, but instead, but the number directly into the function for comparison? Or maybe even store it in a JS variable?
