<p dir="auto">Possible solution: Either use the slightly dated <code class="notranslate">maxlength</code> attribute on the <code class="notranslate">input</code> box or make a javascript check to not allow the form to be submitted if the description exceeds the maximum allowed characters.</p>

<p dir="auto">Why is <code class="notranslate">maxlength</code> dated? It won't let you submit the form with too many characters and it will display the error message.</p>
