Turn textarea font red after 120 characters have been inserted..

[kilbad]

I want to turn a textarea font red (as the person is actually typing in the box) after 120 characters have been inserted, but go back to a black font color if they were to delete back to less than 120. Can someone help me get started with this idea? I am guessing javascript will probabaly be required.

Thanks in advance!

<textarea onchange = "this.style.color = ( this.value.length > 120 ) ? '#f00' : '#000'"></textareaThat ought to do it.

Hi there Rys,

I would , humbly ;), suggest that onkeyup would be a better choice than onchange.

Oh, right. Onchange only fires when the element loses focus. Good catch.
