tags field character limiter,

Hi all we are currently using this code that will limit the title text to 100 characters, We would like to extend this defined function to the "tags id 8", "email id 11", "companies name id 17", "contact name id 18", "web address id 19", field as well. We have people using 100's of tags that rally ugly's up our results page as you can see on some of the older posts on our new site http://www.adszoom.com Check out the post page preview after the form is rendered as well. We do not want the post's info to over flow the theme so this is a must. You may have to just log in and do a test post to see what i mean. The content is protected so i can't supply the 2nd preview for you to see....

<?php
add_filter('gform_validation_2', 'title_length');
function title_length($validation_result){
	$form = $validation_result["form"];

    //supposing we don't want input_1 to be longer than 100 characters.
    if(strlen($_POST['input_1']) > 100){

        // set the form validation to false
        $validation_result["is_valid"] = false;

        //finding Field with ID of 1 and marking it as failed validation
        foreach($form["fields"] as &$field){

            //NOTE: replace 1 with the field you would like to validate
            if($field["id"] == "1"){
                $field["failed_validation"] = true;
                $field["validation_message"] = "Your title is too long 100 characters Google max";
                break;
            }
        }

    }

    //Assign modified $form object back to the validation result
    $validation_result["form"] = $form;
    return $validation_result;

}
?>

Hay Chris thanks for the reply ya that dose solve the issue on the preview page we made but take a look at this http://www.adszoom.com/category/art/ see the tags... out of control! so i figured if i can stop it at the time of the post like i did the title, that by the way had the same issue with people putting in 1000's of words... ugly / just bad . If i can do the same we are good to go. This then will reflect what we need it to, on the preview instead of hiding the extra.. but grate idea.

by the way i have bin going round and round on this other issue that you looked at,, any ideas ?

so to clarify i just need the other fields limited like the title.
