  Hi,

  Take a look at FTB-FreeTextBox.js , line 384, you should see the following.

  if (this.clientSideTextChanged)

  this.clientSideTextChanged(this);

  Add the following code after it and it should restrict your text box to only 500 characters.

  var textsize = this.designEditor.document.body.innerHTML;

  if ((textsize.length) > 499)
  {
      this.designEditor.document.body.innerHTML = textsize.substring(0,499);
  }

  Hope this helps. I would recommend showing the user how many characters they have currently typed in.
