How can I do this...?

https://code.sololearn.com/WaHVAVVG08Wh/?ref=app How can I restrict the <text area> characters upto 140 characters? When the user wants to add more than 140 characters, an alert box will pop up and the characters will not be typed.

are you using jQuery?? if so then $( "textarea" ).on('input', function() { if ($(this).val().length>140) { alert('you have reached a limit of 140 characters'); } });
