I am using the Webform module in Drupal 5.1 and am trying to limit the number of characters users can enter in a text area box. I tried adjusting the width and height settings but that didn't do much. What I want to do is set a limit of say 1000 characters to prevent people from typing endlessly and filling up the database. Any ideas??? thanks!

Have you tried the Maxlength module?

The Maxlength module seems to work only for content types and cck fields, not webform components.

In Drupal 6, not sure about 5, you can add a custom validation PHP snippet. Check out http://drupal.org/node/237281
