function limitText(limitField, limitCount, limitNum) 
{
	if (limitField.value.length > limitNum) 
               {
		limitField.value = limitField.value.substring(0, limitNum);
               } 
               else {
		limitCount.value = limitNum - limitField.value.length;

<textarea id="project_title1" runat="server" name="project_title1"
                        style="height: 40px; width: 337px;" onkeydown=
"limitText(this.Form.project_title1,this.Form.countdown3,150);" 
                           onkeyup="limitText(this.Form.project_title1,this.Form.countdown3,150);" ></textarea><br />

it is just when i enter in this textarea there is a counter which initial value is 150 but when we enter something it should be decreased by 1.....no 1 can enter more than 150 characters...

I belive you can set the property of the text box control to set its maximum length.
not sure if it is a text area or text box.

If your query is javascript related please post your query in the javascript forums so that more javascript proficient people can help you.

Firefox and now IE too show you javascript errors.

cheers.
