Word Counters

N

I would like to make a word counter available to clients when I give them a limit of how much information they can include in a text box in a form. Is this Java? Does anyone know some code I can use to accomplish this (and where to put it)?

Hi,
You could do something like this

<textarea onkeyup="if(this.value.split(' ').length>5)alert('5 words max');"

Change 5 to the number of words you want - and obviously modify the message
to suit

You can do this in Frontpage to a limited extent (although you specify number of
characters, not words as such).

Right-click the field and set the "field length" to a min of 1 character (if you
"require" the field to be filled in by the user) and/or a maximum number to your
requirements.
