How to set Maximum length for RadEditor

[Jeremy Coenen]

I'm struggling how to implement this with the latest version of the RadEditor.

I tried this KB article but I believe this might be for the old version of the controls as when it gets to AttachEventHandler it says that method is not implemented
http://www.telerik.com/help/aspnet/editor/includingsymbolcounterandlimitthetextlength.html

I've also tried just implementing a asp:customvalidator and using javascript to get the innerText.trim().count - but it appears that is always inflated do to the inclusion of  "DesignHTMLPreview   " and some other charecters at the end.

What's the best way to do this with the lastest version and why isn't this functionality baked in?

Thanks I had a slightly different version that must have been a little outdated.  This works great.
