However I did have to add a check to see if 'textarea.val().match(/[^n]*n[^n]*/gi)' returns null - it will be null (in FF4 at least) when the textarea does not contain any text e.g. on first use.

As always, no matter what you do on the front-end you should always validate your inputs on the backend which I was doing. However, I wanted a simple way to display this limitation to the user. jQuery to the rescue! As you know, maxlength is not supported in HTML4 and earlier. So of course the first thing I checked was Google. I found a very handy script written by Matt Button that provides just the functionality I needed, and more. You can read about and see the script in action on Matt’s site.
