    Possible?

    We successfully set the limit of number of characters for a Text Area, but wondering if there is a way to show the number of characters or show the overage in red so that the user meet's the form guidelines. 

    Going to use this feature for an awards / publishing submission form!!

    Thanks in advance for your help or pointing us in the right direction!

    Yes. It is possible to count the characters of a text area field by using our Character Counter widget. You can show the characters in red as a warning message when the user about to reach the limit or so.
