Limit characters in text fields

Is there a way to limit the number of characters that the user can enter into a text input field?  If there is no solution within Storyline, could it be done with javascript?

    Thanks Matthew, the javascript is very helpful. :)

    In my current project, ideally I'd want to users to not be able to input more text than will be displayed.  This project will have 10 Storyline files with 24 activities spread across them.  The activities will all have a number of text input fields.  Do you think it would be feasible to go with the custom input text field method?  One of my concerns is to make sure that it is as easy and intuitive for the participants as possible as we are expecting some with low computer/tech skills and need to make sure that we minimise frustration and make it accessible.  Are you able to take on paid work to create the custom input field? Or can you recommend someone?

    Kind regards
