I found some code, I think javascript (which I am not familiar with) on another
website. The code builds a text area box and counts the words that you type.
I have successfully been able to edit it to count characters instead. I have
run into a snag however. It works great by itself as seen here:
<form name="form_count">
<textarea rows="8" name="word_input" cols="60" wrap="virtual"
onkeyup="f=document.form_count; f.word_count.value=f.word_input.value.length;">
</textarea>
<p>
<input type="text" name="word_count" size="20">
</p>
</form>
When I place this code inside of my code, where I want it, it doesn't work
anymore. It has some thing to do with putting it in another form. Can you
have nested forms? Here is the code I am working with now:
<table border="0" width="600">
<cfform method="post" preservedata="yes">
<tr>
<td>
<form name="form_count">
<textarea rows="8" name="word_input" cols="60" wrap="virtual"
onkeyup="f=document.form_count; f.word_count.value=f.word_input.value.length;">
</textarea>
<p>
<input type="text" name="word_count" size="20">
</p>
</form>
</td>
</tr>
</cfform>
</table>
Any thoughts on what I might be doing wrong or what I need to adjust? Thanks!
