I am trying to do a twitter like character count for the first textarea counting down from 255 but it doesn't seem to work for me?
I have basically no experience with javascript :(
This is the code I am using to count it:
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function () {
$('#tagline').keypress(function (event) {
var max = 255;
var len = $(this).val().length;
if (event.which < 0x20) {
// e.which < 0x20, then it's not a printable character
// e.which === 0 - Not a character
return; // Do nothing
}
if (len >= max) {
event.preventDefault();
}
});
$('#tagline').keyup(function (event) {
var max = 250;
var len = $(this).val().length;
var char = max - len;
$('#textleft').text(char + ' characters left');
});
