Description

Catalog Manager's EditProduct and EditProductDup screens HTML should place a limit on the size of text that can be entered in the Product Description box. When more than 255 characters are entered an error is displayed. There is no easy way of knowing when you've hit the 255 character max without the HTML limiting it.

The patch I'm including changes the TextArea to include the maxlength argument. This should be useful in other areas of the system.
