Question

I have textarea with maxlength attribute i.e. maxlength="20". After entering 10 ENTER keys it stops entering any characters while maxlength is 20 in CHROME BROWSER. If you want to test this issue then open here and hit ENTER key 10 times.

<textarea row="10" cols="10" maxlength="20"></textarea>   

Note: Enter characters with ENTER key and see.

Answer 1

It is because the EnterKey is considered to return two characters i.e “\r\n”.

Thats the reason you are only able to press 10 times since the maxlength is 20.

Added:
If you want use Jquery to resolve this :

var text = $('#textbox').val();

text = text.replace(/(\r\n|\n|\r)/g,"");
