JavaScript - Show Number of Characters Remaining in Textbox or Textarea

Feb 28, 2013
Introduction

Here I will explain how to show number of characters remaining in textbox or textarea using JavaScript

Description:
  
In previous articles I explained JavaScript restrict user to enter only numbers, JavaScript allow limited characters in textarea, JavaScript remove special characters from textbox JavaScript validations for phone, email and many articles relating to
JavaScript, jQuery, asp.net. Now I will explain how to show number of characters remaining in textbox or textarea using JavaScript.

To implement this we need to write the code like as shown below


<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<title>Limit the number of characters in textbox or textarea</title>
<script type="text/javascript">
function LimtCharacters(txtMsg, CharLength, indicator) {
chars = txtMsg.value.length;
document.getElementById(indicator).innerHTML = CharLength - chars;
if (chars > CharLength) {
txtMsg.value = txtMsg.value.substring(0, CharLength);
}
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<div style="font-family:Verdana; font-size:13px">
Number of Characters Left:
<label id="lblcount" style="background-color:#E2EEF1;color:Red;font-weight:bold;">140</label><br/>
<textarea id="mytextbox" rows="5" cols="25" onkeyup="LimtCharacters(this,140,'lblcount');"></textarea>
</div>
</body>
</html>
