How to prevent user from entering text into a form field using JQuery?
<p>I want to prevent the user from entering more than 100 characters into a textarea. I already wrote the code that will detect when the user's post reaches 100 characters. But I have no idea how to prevent him from typing any more beyond that point:</p>

<pre><code>$(document).ready(function(){

   $('.comment').keyup(function(){
       var count = this.value.length;
       if (count &gt; 100) {

           // what goes here???

       }           
   });

});


  &lt;textarea class="comment" rows="10" cols="30"&gt;&lt;/textarea&gt;
</code></pre>
