Count characters in textarea-第2页回答

I want to count characters in a textarea, so I just made:

<textarea id="field" onkeyup="countChar(this)"></textarea>

function countChar(val){
     var len = val.value.length;
     if (len >= 500) {
              val.value = val.value.substring(0, 500);
     } else {
              $('#charNum').text(500 - len);
     }
};

What's wrong with my piece of code? It does not work! Well, that was a newbie handwriting, need a help.

U can use :

    $(document).ready(function () {
  $('#ID').keyup(function () {
   var val = $(this).val();
   len = val.length;
   if (len >= 140) {
    $(this).text(val.substring(0, 140));
   } else {
    console.log(140 - len);
    $('#charNum').empty().append(140 - len);
   }
  });
 });

I did a combination of the above. It allows for the halting of the text entry, and allows for the backspacing, plus keeps the count, even when backspacing:

JavaScript code:

$(document).ready(function () {

  $('#giftmsg').keypress(function (event) {
    var max = 250;
    var len = $(this).val().length;

    if (event.which < 0x20) {
      // e.which < 0x20, then it's not a printable character
      // e.which === 0 - Not a character
      return; // Do nothing
    }

    if (len >= max) {
      event.preventDefault();
    }

  });

  $('#giftmsg').keyup(function (event) {
    var max = 250;
    var len = $(this).val().length;
    var char = max - len;

    $('#textleft').text(char + ' characters left');

  });

});

HTML:

<div class="col3">
    <h2>3. Optional gift message</h2>
    Enter gift message. Limit 250 characters.<br /><br />
    <textarea cols="36" rows="5" id="giftmsg" ></textarea>
    <a style="padding:7px 0 0 0" href="#">Save Message</a>
    <div id="textleft">250 characters left</div>
</div>

Credit to those posters before me!! Hope this helps someone!

Try this one.

<textarea maxlength="410" name="about_me" onkeydown="CountLeft(this.form.about_me, this.form.left);" onkeyup="CountLeft(this.form.about_me,this.form.left); "></textarea>

<input maxlength="3" name="left" readonly="" size="3" type="text" value="410" /> characters left

<script>
function CountLeft(field, count) 
{
    var max = "410";
    if (field.value.length > max)
    {
        field.value = field.value.substring(0, max);
    }
    else
    {
        count.value = max - field.value.length;
    }
}
</script>

$(document).ready(function() {
    var count = $("h1").text().length;
    alert(count);
});

Also, you can put your own element id or class instead of "h1" and length event count your characters of text area string ☻

What errors are you seeing in the browser? I can understand why your code doesn't work if what you posted was incomplete, but without knowing that I can't know for sure.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.5.js"></script>
    <script>
      function countChar(val) {
        var len = val.value.length;
        if (len >= 500) {
          val.value = val.value.substring(0, 500);
        } else {
          $('#charNum').text(500 - len);
        }
      };
    </script>
  </head>

  <body>
    <textarea id="field" onkeyup="countChar(this)"></textarea>
    <div id="charNum"></div>
  </body>

</html>

... works fine for me.

Edit: You should probably clear the charNum div, or write something, if they are over the limit.

Your code was a bit mixed up. Here is a clean version:

<script type="text/javascript">
    $(document).ready(function() {
        $("#add").click(function() {
            $.post("SetAndGet.php", {
                know: $("#know").val()
            }, function(data) {
                $("#know_list").html(data);
            });
        });

        function countChar(val) {
            var len = val.value.length;
            if (len >= 500) {
                val.value = val.value.substring(0, 500);
            } else {
                $('#charNum').text(500 - len);
            }
        }
    });
</script>
