This tool should come in handy for anyone filling in job/university applications. Whether it’s a personal statement or a competency question there’s usually always a word limit. So for those of you who don’t like to use feature-bloated word processors, here’s a simple text box that uses jQuery to give you on-the-fly word count.
You can either type directly in the text box or copy and paste text into it and then hit ‘ENTER’ or ‘SPACE’ to see the total word count.
Is there a standalone version for this we can download?
for those that want a downloaded one, just right click in the text box, click open frame in new tab, then use file > save page as
If I want to add a value like $ to the total word count, How would I do it?
total_words should be total_words-1 for your keypress function. It currently gives the wrong word count by 1.
hmmm.. strangely, on refresh, it seems to work right.
In any case.. nice job. simple and effective.
WOW,Very wonderful
