Maxlength for GWT TextArea

Question

I am unable to set the maximum length for a GWT TextArea. Could someone help me achieve this in GWT?

TextArea t1 = new TextArea();
t1.setMaxLength(300); // This method doesn't exist. How do I do this?

Answer 1

Gal's answer is right with just one correction :

t1.getElement().setAttribute("maxlength", "100");

The second parameter is a string. This worked for me.

Answer 2

You can set it as such:

t1.getElement().setAttribute("maxlength", "100");
