We were requested to do just the same but we use eWebEditoPro...we couldnt
really think of a way around it except using javascript etc.... and also we
didnt really want to spend too much time on it as we didnt have access to
the components methods.

We use JS most of the time,  but as you say the crappy &ing is a real pain.

Subject: [ cf-dev ] HTML word count


Hi,
I have a requirement to count the number of words the user enters into
activedit (for translation purpose). We use activedit as our wysiwyg editor
.As it is HTML content we would first need to strip out the HTML tags and
then do the word count. I have searched macromedia exchange for any tags/
functions which count words in HTML format. I have tried stripping out HTML
and counting words but it is not perfect as there are some spaces, line
breaks and some characters (eg  ) which remain in the converted text
causing incorrect count.
Please could anyone suggest a alternative method or existing function/tag
which would help me. 


Thanks in advance,
Sandeep
