greetings list, I need to count the words in a textarea and validate client side that it doesn't exceed a certain number.
We have been trying to use regular expressions to count the words. Is there a way to count the words in a string and return the number of words to test against this value. We would then trim out the extra words and send them back to the form. We have it working using indexOf and only checking for spaces, but run into problems when there are tabs in the textarea. thanks and kind regards, Jeffrey ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Purchase Contribute 3 from House of Fusion, a Macromedia Authorized Affiliate and support the CF community. http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=53 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:21:864 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/21 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:21 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.21 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
