In struts 1 tags for html:textarea here

I do not see a maxlength attribute. How can i restrict the user from entering more than 100 characters? Also why did struts 1 omit such a basic attribute?

Add the attribute using JS.

Put something like this after your textarea:

<script type="text/javascript">
    document.getElementById('textarea-id').setAttribute('maxlength', '512');
</script>
