 * You could do this with some custom javascript. Have a look at the answer here:

 * I used a different script (from [here](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/limit-posts-to-140-characters?replies=13#post-1257052))
   for the post-form and it works now.
    But I need it also in the “comments reply”
   area but I can’t find a proper script or something. Can somebody help me please?
   thanks!
