i wish to count number of characters in textarea box during typing in and display it somewhere in html page. so the number will increase during writing. is it possible to do it by javascript?
View 6 RepliesI 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 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;

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 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 have the following requirement for a textarea:Limit the number of lines to 8 Limit the number of characters to 20 per line Force a line beak when the user reaches he end of a line but break the line at the start of the last word (not half way through the word).Allow pasting into the field and auto-format the line/character countKeep he cursor where it should be (don't move it to the end of the field after any formatting)

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.

What I'm looking to do with the following form is when a user inputs a certain length width and depth the output will be set to a certain number of characters. Basically looking to add a zero before an input of a number lower than 10 in two fields (product_number & product_id)
For example if a user inputs:
The output I would like to have would be:
Right now the output looks like this:
The reason for this is so when I sort my products in my shop they will go in the correct numerical order as well as making everything easier to maintain. I only need it to be 2 digits before the decimal point because the max number input will never be over 99...

View 3 Replies View RelatedInitially the form is loaded using ASP and HTML and the ü codes
display the characters correctly. I have the values stored in a
javascript array so that I can more easily and dynamically change the
state/region dropdown when the country changes. However, when my

the literal value such as "Würrtemberg" is displayed instead of
the special character.
Can this be done in javascript?
