character Counter

[mcgann]

Just wonderin if anyone knew of any good sample's of character counting upon a webform so that users know how many characters they have left. Any help is much appreciated.

You mean like counting characters entered in a textbox? How's this? http://www.cs.tut.fi/~jkorpela/forms/textarea.html[^] (look down the article for "Real-time" JavaScript check)

Yeah the last example was similar to wat I was on about. instead of counting up Iwas wanting to count down and apply it to a label instead of a textbox. Got it sorted. Cheers King
