    u can't. u CAN limit the number of chars though, using javascript.

    **************************************************
    <head>
    <script language=Javascript>
    <!--
    function LimitChars()
    {
    var MostChars = 100;
    var CurrentChars = document.FormName.testTextArea.length
    if CurrentChars >= MostChars
    {
    document.FormName.testTextArea.disabled = true;
    }
    else
    {
    document.FormName.testTextArea.disabled = false;
    }
    }
    -->
    </script>
    </head>
    **************************************************
    <form name="FormName">
    <textarea name=testTextArea onKeyUp="LimitChars();">
    Default Text
    </textarea>
    </form>

    Hi
    I try to post my version of the solution of this task.

    Head Section:

    Code:
    <script language=Javascript>
function Checker(value)
{
var MaxChars=document.YourForm.YourTextArea.cols * document.YourForm.YourTextArea.rows
if (window.event.keyCode == 13) {document.YourForm.YourTextArea.blur();}
document.YourForm.YourTextArea.value = value.substring(0, MaxChars - 1)
}
</script>
    Body Section:

    Code:
    <form name="YourForm">
<textarea rows=3 name=YourTextArea onkeypress="Checker(this.value);"></textarea>
</form>
