    <p>I have a textarea that I want to block input on if the entered characters reaches a max-length. </p> <p>I currently have a Jquery script for the textbox that calculates the characters entered and want to add something that will block input in the textarea once 150 characters are entered. </p> <p>I have tried using max-length plugins in conjunction with my script but they don't seem to work. Help is appreciated.</p> <p><strong>CURRENT CODE</strong></p> <pre><code>(function($) { $.fn.charCount = function(options){ // default configuration properties var defaults = { allowed: 150, warning: 25, css: 'counter', counterElement: 'span', cssWarning: 'warning', cssExceeded: 'exceeded', counterText: '', container: undefined // New option, accepts a selector string }; var options = $.extend(defaults, options); function calculate(obj,$cont) { // $cont is the container, now passed in instead. var count = $(obj).val().length; var available = options.allowed - count; if(available &lt;= options.warning &amp;&amp; available &gt;= 0){ $cont.addClass(options.cssWarning); } else { $cont.removeClass(options.cssWarning); } if(available &lt; 0){ $cont.addClass(options.cssExceeded); } else { $cont.removeClass(options.cssExceeded); } $cont.html(options.counterText + available); }; this.each(function() { // $container is the passed selector, or create the default container var $container = (options.container) ? $(options.container) .text(options.counterText) .addClass(options.css) : $('&lt;'+ options.counterElement +' class="' + options.css + '"&gt;'+ options.counterText +'&lt;/'+ options.counterElement +'&gt;').insertAfter(this); calculate(this,$container); $(this).keyup(function(){calculate(this,$container)}); $(this).change(function(){calculate(this,$container)}); }); }; })(jQuery); </code></pre>
