this is the only we could work it out...and then we would have to re-regex them back into what they were etc....then do the count...in the end we just said "no, you cant have it"

We use JS most of the time, but as you say the crappy &ing is a real pain. -----Original Message----- From: Sandeep Shetty [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 10 July 2003 12:50 To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' 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 -- ** Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/dev%40lists.cfdeveloper.co.uk/ To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For human help, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- ** Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/dev%40lists.cfdeveloper.co.uk/ To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For human help, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- ** Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/dev%40lists.cfdeveloper.co.uk/ To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For human help, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- ** Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/dev%40lists.cfdeveloper.co.uk/ To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For human help, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
