Yes, all you need to do is set the maxlength property in the textarea.
<textarea name="mytextarea" maxlength=100> xxmp 0 Light Poster

Can I see the form? It would make it much simpler to determine where the problem is.

Unfortunately, textarea doesn't support maxlength.
You can use javascript to limit the length
Are you familiar with jQuery?

You are right. I checked the HTML DOM and there is no maxlength property. If you know JavaScript or JQuery, both of those would be viable solutions.

Using input means you're stuck with 1 row
