I may have misunderstood your question, but this will count commas in a string:
val.split(",").length-1; JK -----Original Message----- From: jquery-en@googlegroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Hinch Sent: Tuesday, July 15, 2008 8:38 AM To: jQuery (English) Subject: [jQuery] Counting commas and form inputs I'm looking for a way to simply count or limit the number of commas used. In my form there is a drop down that selects numbers. This needs to correspond to the amount of tags a user can input - separated by commas. The drop down does several other things already so I just need to know how to count commas - too many, don't submit the form. I have got no where with this little task so far =(
