Maximum characters in form

Does anyone know how to limit the number of characters a customer can enter into a text form?

Yes, this is an example code snippet:
<input type="text" name="first_name" maxlength="30">
Just enter the number of characters you want to use in the maxlength. Hope
this helps.

Thanks Dwayne, This does work well for a single line box, unfortunately, I can not figure out what I am doing wrong to make it work in a multi-line box. My current code is as follows:

<textarea name="Book-Set-Description-Tenth-Item" cols="40" id="Book-Set-Description-Tenth-Item"></textarea></td>

Any ideas?

<textarea name="Book-Set-Description-Tenth-Item" cols="40" rows="5" id="Book-Set-Description-Tenth-Item"></textarea>
