Author Setting the textarea buffer to a fixed size?

Hi, how does one control the number of characters within the textarea tag? At
this time, I have added a textarea to a form that's 10 rows and 80 columns
which give me about 800 characters. However, when I check what a user can
really enter,
it comes to 17 rows and 80 columns worth of data; 1360 characters. BTW, I'm
using DWMX 2004 and I would like to be able to limit what can be entered
because this information needs to be stored into an Oracle database where the
size is currently set to 500 but I would like to increase it to 1024. It has
to be some way to fix the size of the textarea buffer to a fixed value. Then I
can set the value within Oracle accordingly. If anyone has any ideas on how to
resolve this, please post to the forum and thanks in advance.
