To set the maximum length to Text Area in ASP

Question

What's the best way of restricting the maximum number of characters that can be entered into an asp textarea?

Answer 1

Answer 2

The best way is to have to count the number of text entered in a text area and limit the text if the length(text entered) reaches maximum.
