How can I count the number of words in a form submission?
Here's a new one for everyone... Let's say for example I was collecting a paragraph of text via a web form and I wanted to check the total number of words entered. How can that be done with ColdFusion? ---mark -- Archives: http://www.eGroups.com/list/cf-talk To Unsubscribe visit http://www.houseoffusion.com/index.cfm?sidebar=listsbody=lists/cf_talk or send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with 'unsubscribe' in the body.

Not so new. #ListLen(FORM.textField, " ")# List functions can be used for more than just lists. HTH! Sharon At 01:06 PM 5/24/2000 -0700, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Here's a new one for everyone...

Mark, Check this out. It came through a couple days ago from the Javascript Update list: == Forms - Limit Textarea http://forms.javascriptsource.com/limit-textarea.html 1.37 KB * Uploaded May 22 2000 This script controls a maximum textarea input amount and updates a small counter with how many characters are left with each keystroke. (Dynamic fix update now allows you to use this script in multiple textboxes on a page.) == Hope that helps.
