Option Type Feature has that (at least for the text area). It hasn't been updated for the August 2006 update of osC as far as I know, so that will probably give you trouble I'm afraid.

sorry, having gone through some of your other posts i 'think' (therefore i hope) i know what you want.

 

Basically am i right in thinking you want customers to be able to personalise gifts but you wish to set max character for them to do this?

Being a new member i am very suprised you had no answer since May 2007.

 

Install Option Type Feature (OTF) v. 2.0, then in the backend (admin section)...go to admin..catalogue..product attibutes.

 

on the left-hand side of the page scroll down until you see a line across with an 'insert' button at the end. In these text boxes you put your text for the different languages but only default lan text in the comment box.

 

In the box under 'length' specify the max characters the user can input for personalisation. in the box next to click to change 'select' to textarea, then hit insert button.

 

Now scroll down the entire page until you see 'Product Attributes' as the header. select the product that you want to apply this for e.g. glass stein, and then product options and attributes you wish to apply.

 

when the product is added to cart the textarea will fill a bar according to what percent of the total character you allow for personalisation are used, and the actual text a customer fills will be passed through in the order as an otion attribute.
