I'm unable to get the character counter to show an initial value. When you type a something in, it says -1, -3, -4. It starts off at 0, instead of the maximum amount allowed. I'd prefer it countdown from the highest amount of characters allowed. 400, 399, 398, etc
$(document).ready(function() { var counter, max_length, review_text; review_text = $('#body'); counter = $('#counter'); max_length = counter.data('maximum-length'); review_text.keyup(function() { counter.text(max_length - ($(this).val().length)); }); }); -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
