JS Character Counter To 'double' Certain Characters?
Mar 14, 2010
I'm trying to make this tool for some fellow librarians who answer questions via text messaging. As you see beneath that page's text box, the catch is that the PC-to-SMS client treats the forward slash as two characters.
I'd like if possible for the JavaScript character counter to recognize slashes and automatically add 'two' to the character count, instead of just one, for each forward slash.
(BTW the reason for 155 instead of 160 is that the client adds a shortcode to our outgoing texts.)

I am trying to count the characters in a text area in a form for sending sms from web to phone. Bulk sms standard is: maximum sms pages are 7 i.e 1071 characters; page 1 contains 160 characters, page 2 contains 146 characters and the rest 5 pages contains 153 characters.
Here is a javascript function I wrote but it's not working
function countPage(){
var clPg1 = 160; //character limit for page 1
var clPg2 = 146; //character limit for page 2
var clOtherPg = 153; //character limit for other pages
[Code].....

My question is:
I'm adding character 253 to a javascript string this way:
var str = ''
str += 'a'
str += unescape('%FD');
str += 'b'
Is there another way to do this. Is there a function like: str += char(253)?

This is driving me nuts :) I need to replace all instances of "zz" with 'Z'. I can easily replace other strings such as a = a.replace(/mickeymouse/, "Z"); but a = a.replace(/zz/, "Z"); doesn't work. Must be a double characer thing?

I have a HTML form which takes some values including a password field. I have a JS function to check and alert when a user enters some particular special characters(this is bcoz only these characters are not allowed in the back end of the html form, all the other special characters are allowed). following is the code for it.
function checklen()
{
var iChars = "`<>";
for (var i = 0; i < document.ipform.password.value.length; i++) {
[Code]...
now i want a feature which does'nt allow the user to enter an uppercase letter or a special character(only these are allowed~@#$%^&*()-_+|) as the the first character of the password field. Since i am newbie to JS, It would be a great help if some one can help me to sort out this..

I have a page that submits to a db then re-loads its self with new information. Unfortunately it goes wrong when the user double clicks on a one of many text links that provides the info for the display on reload. How do I stop users from double clicking on the page? Ideally I think I would like to call some sort of js function from body onload as I presume this would then cover the whole of the page, but have no idea if this is possible or how to go about writing it.

I'm trying to script a download counter that will display the total
number on the download page without server-side scripting.
Below is my very incomplete beginning. It returns no errors, but does
nothing:
<script language="JavaScript">
function addClicks() {
total = "form1.value";
form1.value = (eval(total.value) + (1));
}
</script>
<form name="form1" method="get">
<p><input type="text" name="total" maxlength="4" size="4"> <br>
<input type="button" name="addition" value="Download"
width="10"></p></form>

Is there a way to delay a call to a page counter (ie. call to a server script from an IMG tag) for the purpose to not lock the page loading awaiting counter be displayed.
Maybe a setTimeout() launching an equivalent of "document.write", but writing in a specific DIV ? Thanks in advance for your ideas.
Actually, the counter is called (without delay) like this :

ive recieved a counter that ads up a fixed value per second starting
from 01-01-03.
This java script acts perfectly on MSwindow based system but when shown on
an UNiX-like system the script presents a negative value resp. adding up or
down. How can i correct this?

I wonder if the following is even possible :
Suppose I have a page with a set of hyperlinks on it. Each time a hyperlink
is clicked a new window is opened. What i basically want is the following :
I want a counter at the client side which increments each time the user
clicks one of those links. At the bottom of the page I'll put a button
which should be used to send the value of the counter away.
The problem is I only know server side scripting and have no idea on how to
implement such a counter on the client side. I even wonder if it's possible
to detect when a link is clicked. The links may be buttons if that would
make it easier, it's just that i don't want to reload the page each time a
link is clicked but only at the end when the button at the bottom would be
clicked.

I have what seems to
be a robust, working word counter script. I post it here to benefit
others that might want this in the future and so that if I ever lose
my copy I can come back here to find it :) Some other scripts that I
used for inspiration failed when confronted with whitespace before the
string or miscalculated when encountering linefeeds and other
non-space spaces, so I made mine better. Definition of words for this
exercise is contiguous groups of characters separated by whitespace. Code:
