Request: Add character count to all textbox & textarea

  • Once upon a time I saw this is possible on another blog, even comments. Is there a code snippet to add the character count ability that’s on the post to ALL the textboxes and textareas rendered in the blog (even by plugins)?

    I have various native WP areas AND plugins that I wish I could know the character count and not have to have a character counter open in another window going back and forth. I keep googling it but I find different things for excerpt or a single plugin but looking for an overall solution.

    I used to guestblog somewhere that had this in thier blog. The blog is down and I’m out of touch with the author. But I remember I used to click in any textarea or textbox and the little div would show the #character count

    This would essentially be a javascript implementation, but for it to be applied to any text box or text area on a page, using jQuery would greatly simplify things. I regret I cannot offer any code for this, but I would expect many examples exist on the ‘net. They do not need to be WP specific. What ever it is may need some customization to work with WP, but the core functionality is universal.

    If you can find something that works the way you want on a generic HTML page, I can help you adapt it to the WP environment. Happy hunting ??
