Today I am looking for a counter and which will help me to count the words or letters. I got one also. I didn’t think about it but nowadays it’s necessary for me. And it’s tough to guess the worlds too. So.. Specially thanks this JavaScript
Below sharing with you the Word Counter Java Script:
< !– TWO STEPS TO INSTALL WORD COUNT:
1. Copy the coding into the HEAD of your HTML document

<script LANGUAGE=”JavaScript”>
< !– Original: Shawn Seley –>

function CountWords (this_field, show_word_count, show_char_count) {
if (show_word_count == null) {
show_word_count = true;
}
if (show_char_count == null) {
show_char_count = false;
}
var char_count = this_field.value.length;
var fullStr = this_field.value + ” “;
var initial_whitespace_rExp = /^[^A-Za-z0-9]+/gi;
var left_trimmedStr = fullStr.replace(initial_whitespace_rExp, “”);
var non_alphanumerics_rExp = rExp = /[^A-Za-z0-9]+/gi;
var cleanedStr = left_trimmedStr.replace(non_alphanumerics_rExp, ” “);
var splitString = cleanedStr.split(” “);
var word_count = splitString.length -1;
if (fullStr.length <2) {
word_count = 0;
}
if (word_count == 1) {
wordOrWords = ” word”;
}
else {
wordOrWords = ” words”;
}
if (char_count == 1) {
charOrChars = ” character”;
} else {
charOrChars = ” characters”;
}
if (show_word_count & show_char_count) {
alert (”Word Count:\n” + “ ” + word_count + wordOrWords + “\n” + “ ” + char_count + charOrChars);
}
else {
if (show_word_count) {
alert (”Word Count: ” + word_count + wordOrWords);
}
else {
if (show_char_count) {
alert (”Character Count: ” + char_count + charOrChars);
}
}
}
return word_count;
}
// End –>
