Question

I have this form, that when i open my notepad there is the lists of my links,
I copy it from notepad then paste all the links in the textarea then it should count.

But what im trying to solve is that, when i do copy and paste it will automatically count not when i enter.

My codes are below to explain what my works.

jQuery Code

jQuery.fn.wordCount = function(params) {
    var p =  { counterElement:"display_count" };
    var total_words;

    if(params) {
        jQuery.extend(p, params);
    }

    //for each keypress function on text areas
    this.keypress(function() {
        total_words=this.value.split("\n").length;
        jQuery('#'+p.counterElement).html(total_words);
    });
};

$(document).ready(function(){                           
    $('#txtLinks').wordCount();
});

my Form

<form method="post">
<textarea name="texturl" rows="10" cols="20" id="txtLinks" class="textarea-addlinks"></textarea>
</form>
