JQuery :: Count Characters In Textarea?
Jun 12, 2009
I need to count characters in textarea so I wrote sth like this:
$input.keyup(function() {
var new_length = $(this).val().length;
$word_counter.text(new_length);
if(new_length >= min && new_length <= max) {
[Code]....
But id doesn't work when I click the right mouse button on it and choose "Paste". Counter is not updated.

I'm reading jQuery in Action for my learning and thought I could start with a simple exercise for my page: I have several divs of the class ".important_new" with headings in there which are links to the articles:
<div class="important_new">
<h1><a href="#">New York Knicks sign Patrick Ewing Jr.</a></h1>
<img class="important_new_flag" src="images/body/flags/USA.png" />
<span class="important_new_country">USA</span>
[Code]....
This results in displaying all the headings in an 8px font size except two of them (which don't have more than 40 characters either). The 40+ character headings also get reduced.
I've gone through it lots of times and changed a ton of things, but can get more than that. Can anyone see what my failing/s are?

I want to count the characters in a string. The problem here is, the 'return key' i.e if 'enter key' should be counted as 2 instead as 1 character.
I tried few logics but none of them worked out. I tried with php ajax too. It worked fine in firefox but not in IE.
Here is the logic i used. When onkeyup call the js function.. which calls the php page by passing the string as encodeURIComponent(str).
Now, I took the string in php and counted the in the string and added the no of occurrence of to the string length.
My concern is, IE is returning 3 for return key instead of 2.

I am currently seeking help on how to best approach finding a solution to this. Essentially I have a textarea which a user is supposed to be typing a text based email message(no HTML) The textarea has a column width of 80 However there is a recommended width of 53 characters per line. Obviously the user can just keep on typing away past the 53 character recommended width if they want, but I want to add either a form button or a link with an onClick thatanalyzes the contents of the textarea. It should insert a hard return when it reaches 53 characters, but if the 53rd character is in the middle of a word it should count back to the previous space and do the line wrap there.
Can anyone point me in the right direction? I assumed there has to a solution using jQuery, but I am at a loss. I did come across some javascript which works, but it doesn't take into account the fact that the 53rd character maybe in the middle of a word.

I am writing an HTML builder. On thing that I think would be helpful is if the user types in
="
A javascript adds another " for the user, but puts the cursor inbetween the two "'s. In other words, the javascript should assist users in writing HTML/Javascript codes. This may also be applied to < & >.
I have found this script that can get your position in a textarea. I also thought this might be of help:
Code:
var textarea = document.getElementById('code');
var tmp = textarea.value;
textarea.value = textarea.value.substring(0, textarea.selectionStart) + '"' + tmp + textarea.value.substring(textarea.selectionEnd);
Although I have tried, I have not been able to piece the scripts together.

I want to implement a text input box for SMS text messages and the messages are limited to 160 characters (including spaces, etc.). I would like the font color of the text to be green as the user types and any text beyond 160 characters to be red. I would like to do this with one input box, the same box that the user is typing in not a separate display box. This will be on the users local PC it won't be on the Internet.

I have a script that limit characters and lines entered by users in a textarea.. I want instead of throwing that alert message to jump to the next line and the user can continue writing, here is the script:
<script type="text/javascript">
var alert_title='Input Restriction';
function limitTextarea(el,maxLines,maxChar){
if(!el.x){
el.x=uniqueInt();
el.onblur=function(){clearInterval(window['int'+el.x])}
}window['int'+el.x]=setInterval(function(){
var lines=el.value.replace(/
/g,'').split(' .....
The HTML
<textarea onFocus="limitTextarea(this,5,40)" wrap="soft">

I have a textarea with a specific width. I have wrap="off" set because I don't want to force my users to wrap if they don't want to. The reason for this is because this textarea is where the user is typing an email message. However I have a background image set on the textarea with a verticle line going down the textarea which indicates to the user the "Recommend Width"What I want to do is provide them with a link to click on which says something like "Wrap Lines" and when they click on it, the text within the textarea would wrap to the "Recommended Width" line in the background image. The maximum length of a line should be 53 characters when they click on "Wrap Lines" link.So I did some searching around and the code I came up with is:
Code:
function showLines(max, text) {
max--;
text = "" + text;
var temp = "";
var chcount = 0;
[Code].....

how can you count something. I have A tags in a div. I want to count specific ones. the list is the order the client made. so I might name or id each a tag. but how can I count those tags. For instance lets say I got an a tag named apple. another named pineapple. I got 8 of each. how can I write jquery code to just look inside this div and count only the a tags named apple.?

I'm new to jQuery and I wonder how to style my divs so that every other is one color and the rest is another color, no matter how many divs there are? If there's only one div no styling is needed. I'm not after the css or data-theming to change to specific colors, but rather the jquery code to count the number of divs and then decide which one is the first, the second etc. By the way, if it's possible to do it all in css I'm curious about that too
