On ASP page, setting maxlength for the textbox field based on textbox size

I have a file "sample.asp" page.

<input type="text" name="ticker" id="ticker" value="<%=strTicker%>" size="107" />

On this text field, I have set size to 107.

How can I define the MaxLength based on size of textbox field?

First preference to English characters Second is for other language characters

Thanks in advance for the solution.

If you want to do it in ASP:

<%
Dim size
size = "107"
%>
<input type="text" name="ticker" id="ticker" value="<%=strTicker%>" size="<%=size%>" maxlength="<%=size%>" />

If you want to do it in Javascript:

<script type="text/javascript">
var ticker_element = document.getElementById("ticker");
ticker_element.setAttribute("maxlength", ticker_element.size
</script>
