Using either JavaScript or jQuery, is it possible to capture a count on an item on a page that never get focus from the user and is only used to store values into it from another item that has the user focus?

I basically require a means of counting the total number of entries that are going into a item as that item gets populated.

    hidden field within a form should work

    <html>
<head>
<title>My Page</title>
<script type="text/javascript">
function getvar1()
{
var x=document.getElementById("var1")
return x;
}
</script> 
</head>
<body>
<form name="myform" action="http://www.address.com/" method="POST">
<input type="hidden" id="var1" value="myvariable">
</form>
</body>
</html>

    i dont really know what you mean but are you trying to do this.. where you count the text in the box?

    <html>
<head>
<title>My Page</title>
</head>

<body>

<input type='text' id='var1' onkeypress='javascript:magic();' onkeyup='javascript:magic();' value="hi">

<div id='displaydiv'>Waiting..</div>

<script type="text/javascript">
function magic(){
    document.getElementById('displaydiv').innerHTML = ""+(document.getElementById('var1').value.length);
}
</script>
</body>
</html>
