Setting maximum textarea length?

Howdy,

I just added Xinha to a form on which I had previously been setting a maximum allowed length.  With Xinha, this stops working.  Here is the javascript I was using to limit textarea size:

<script>
function textLimit(field, maxlen) {
if (field.value.length > maxlen + 1)
alert('your input has exceded the maximum allowed length!');
if (field.value.length > maxlen)
field.value = field.value.substring(0, maxlen);
}
</script>

<textarea rows="13" name="Controversy" cols="99" onkeyup="textLimit(this, 2000);" id="Controversy"></textarea>

Can anyone give a suggestion on who to fix this to work with Xinha?

Thanks,

Andrew
