How to apply min and max on textarea?

Question

Is there a way in HTML5 forms to add a min and max character to a textarea? It seems I can apply it to a regular input using pattern.

Answer 1

For max: see below code
Use maxlength for maximum character.

maxlength="nuber_of_characters"

Source: http://www.w3.org/TR/html5/forms.html#the-textarea-element

For min: source
Use Javascript as below:
use id attribute in </code>. Set id attribute to minle(for eg) ie <code>id="minle"</code> <br /></p> <pre><code><textarea rows="10" cols="80" maxlength="200" required id="minle" >

and put following js code segment in your form tag

This allow user to input no. of characters from 80 to 200.
