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
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..

Characters remaining

yeah i am not getting it scipt then form fields below
var mlength=8000
var oEditor = FCKeditorAPI.GetInstance('descLong');
var sigcnt2 = oEditor.GetXHTML(true);
if (sigcnt2.length==0) {
alert('You need to enter something for the body of your story.');
return false;
}
theBody is the field name.
theBodyTest is a javascript variable that's holding the XHTML content returned.
Make sense?
(And no, you're not being a dumb ass...)
Cheers,

There is some info in the fckeditor forums on getting the correct
count. I think the CF8 cftextarea is repackaging fckeditor, and if so,
this should work (although I haven't tried it in CF8 myself).
You need to reference the object.GetXHTML() function. The example
below is just for checking for any

If you've got Firebug installed in Firefox, you should be able to use the

hey guys i am using cf8 and in my cftextarea richtext=true and
