Here is a quick snippet of code to show how many characters are used out of
8000 in a textarea and displays it. It could be modified to fit your needs.
Eric
<script>
function update(textareaObject) {
var charsTotal = 8000;
var charsUsed = textareaObject.value.length;
document.getElementById('charsused').innerHTML = charsUsed + " out of " +
charsTotal + "characters used";
}
</script>
<div id="charsused">
0 out of 8000 characters used
</div>
<div>
<form method="" id="test">
<textarea name="testtext" rows="10" cols="80" onkeyup="update(this)">
</textarea>
</form>
</div>
