Question

How would one adapt this jquery plugin so that it counts down from how many words your allowed/you have remaining, instead of counting up to how many your allowed.

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

open the maxlength.js file and put this

$field.data('$statusdiv').css('color', '').html( $field.data('maxsize') - $field.val().length )

instead of this:

$field.data('$statusdiv').css('color', '').html($field.val().length)
