Yes, all you need to do is set the maxlength property in the textarea.

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

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.
