Yo paul, if you need help, hit me up private-like, but there is a plugin for FCKEditor that counts both the number of HTML chars, and non-html chars (using a bit of reg-ex).
It'll even prevent more entry when the count gets too high, IIRC. It's been a while, but I can probably patch it back up if it's not working (I helped with it, long ago, but haven't been using it lately-- I did get a work request to add it back to one project, tho, so...). Not exactly monitoring cf-talk, so... yeah... laters on dude. :D On Sat, Apr 19, 2008 at 2:05 PM, Paul Ihrig <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > ok this works, is slow and dosnt update from the cftextarea, unless i > type into the regular textarea, then it does... > if any one knows a better way to count the characters in a cftextarea > where richtext is true, please let me know.. > > <cfinput name="word_count" type="text" > bind="cfc:getLen.getdescLong([EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED])" > size="50" style="border:0px;" > > > <cfcomponent> > <cffunction name="getdescLong" access="remote"> > <cfargument name="descLong"> > <cfargument name="descShort"> > <cfreturn "descLong: #Len(descLong)# of 8000 descShort: > #Len(descShort)# of 8000"> > </cffunction> > </cfcomponent> > > > ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;192386516;25150098;k Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:303811 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
