[Plugin: Contact Form 7] Anyone knows how to limit the textarea to 250 characters?

Hi everyone,

Anyone knows how to limit the textarea to 250 characters?

Currently, this is wat i did –

function wpcf7BeforeSubmit(formData, jqForm, options) {
    //Modification
    var question = jQuery('textarea').val();
    var qLen = question.length;
    if (qLen > 250) {
        alert('Oops, your question is over the 250 character limit! Click OK to rephrase and submit.');
        return false;
    } 

    //End modification
    wpcf7ClearResponseOutput();

    jQuery('img.ajax-loader', jqForm[0]).css({ visibility: 'visible' });

    formData.push({name: '_wpcf7_is_ajax_call', value: 1});

    jQuery(jqForm[0]).append('<input type="hidden" name="_wpcf7_is_ajax_call" value="1" />');

    return true;

}

The problem now is that the client is still receiving test messages.

The process should be like this – I type a message more than 250 characters and then a pop-up message will appear to warn me and ask me to rephrase the message. I click ok and now I can edit my message in the textarea.

So the client now receives test messages still.

Anyone can help or have another alternative solution to this? Much appreciated. =)
