maxlength in a text box

I am writing a javascript where a user can enter as many as they want in a text area. Then when you click on a sumbit button, the text in the text area will be pasted into a text box in another page. When I am doing this, do I have to consider the number of characters is being passed from the text area to text box? meaning the maximum number of characters in the text box?

Don't crosspost. It just wastes everybody's time. Your other thread (in the Post a Javascript forum) has been deleted.

Common mistake, so don't worry, just don't do it again. :)

I didnt notice initially, both looked like same with the word javascript. After that only I noticed and I tried to delete it. But couldnt. Sorry about that.

Hi chelvis, i think u don't have to specify the maximum length of the tetxbox if u paste the text from textarea to textbox. But if u have to paste the text from the textbox back to the textarea, then u have to set the limit for the textbox.

Not sure if this is what you're looking for but if you want to limit the number of characters entered into a textarea, this works cross-browser...:
