Question

Could you suggest any word counter in jquery which doesn’t have maxcount option ?

I have looked for many plugins but all of them limits the maximum word number.

I would like to have a function which takes two parameters, textarea_id and span_id_of_#ofwords and just simply show the numbers of the words in textarea.I may modify the plugins but I rather not to do.

Thanks.

Take look at this question. With that you can do:

function countWords(textarea_id, span_id)
{
   $("#"+span_id).text($("#"+textarea_id).val().match(/\S+/g).length)
}
