Question

which good (small and easy to use) jquery plugin to control the amount of characters in textarea Can I use?

When you finish entering a character, if the maximum amount was exceeded the character should be deleted.

I should not be allowed to enter up to a certain number of characters (parameter), compatible with Internet Explorer 6.0 and work when you copy and paste text.

Well, I do aggree with using the maxlength attribute.
But if you want to use a textarea too, you need to use a plugin.

(As far as I know maxlength doesn’t work with textarea.)

Consider using the jQuery validator(Another site here):

$(function() {

$("#yourform").validate({
    rules: {
        theinputname: "therule"
    },
    messages: {
        theinputname: "iferror"
    }
});

});
