title: Maxlength for text area doesn't work in IE
body: <p>I am trying to limit the number of characters entered in a textarea as shown:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;div&gt;
   @Html.TextAreaFor(x =&gt; x.StudentName, new { @maxlength = "1000" })
  &lt;/div&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This works fine in Firefox and Chrome but the maxlength attribute doesn't work in IE. How do I do that??</p>
