Just my opinion -- in striving for elegant software design is to eliminate code like javascript that has a risk of cross-platform incompatibility, adds more script to be rendered in the browser, uses unnecessary bandwith as a result and creates a potential maintenance issue. Javascript has it's place but for limiting characters it is better to set the property for the core framework, and let ASP.Net take care of the rendering, that way it always works in all browsers and does not send and extra block of Javascript to the browser for each page.

Just curious, why this approach instead of just setting the Maxlength property?
