Comments on: Interactive character limit for textarea using Jquery http://www.ajaxray.com/blog/2007/11/09/interactive-character-limit-for-textarea-using-jquery/ Exploring PHP, MySql, Javascript, jQuery, Zend Framework and more... from Bangladesh Fri, 21 May 2010 22:36:42 -0700 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: Wayne http://www.ajaxray.com/blog/2007/11/09/interactive-character-limit-for-textarea-using-jquery/comment-page-2/#comment-4026 Wayne Sat, 15 May 2010 21:19:24 +0000 http://www.ajaxray.com/blog/2007/11/09/interactive-character-limit-for-textarea-using-jquery/#comment-4026 Anis, how does your script compare to the one at http://www.mediacollege.com/internet/javascript/form/limit-characters.html ? To be honest, I know very little about JavaScript and it's hard to decide which one is better. At any rate, I'm already using PHP to prevent users from entering more than the allotted number of characters into my form's textarea. I have also included a "title" attribute for the textarea's parent div with the value of "250 characters max". (Of course, users will not see that tooltip if they use the keyboard to tab through the form's fields instead of navigating with the mouse.) But the main reason for using a JavaScript function like yours and the other one I referred to would be to give users feedback on when they are approaching the character limit.
