The solution is here:

$(document).ready(function() {

    $('textarea[maxlength]').keyup(function(){
        //get the limit from maxlength attribute
        var limit = parseInt($(this).attr('maxlength'));
        //get the current text inside the textarea
        var text = $(this).val();
        //count the number of characters in the text
        var chars = text.length;

        //check if there are more characters then allowed
        if(chars > limit){
            //and if there are use substr to get the text before the limit
            var new_text = text.substr(0, limit);

            //and change the current text with the new text
            $(this).val(new_text);
        }
    });

});
