got this from Ektron.. ============
When you do a word count in the editor, we take into the account the HTML as well because that HTML will be saved with the content as well. If you are doing a word count because of database size restrictions, you will want to take the HTML into account as well. If you want to do a word count on just the text (no html tags) you would have to build a special button for that. You could add a new button on the toolbar that can call the getBodyText() method of the editor and then use JavaScript to give you a count of the characters. -----Original Message----- From: Sandeep Shetty [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 10 July 2003 13:38 To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: RE: [ cf-dev ] HTML word count I did try regex'ing it looking for and stripping < > tags. Also, have tried replacing some special characters. But there is a bit of inaccuracy anyway, probably due to the spaces and breaks left after stripping which are sometimes difficult to remove automatically during conversion to plain text. Am looking for a tried and tested function or even a component in another language which I could use maybe as a cfx for counting words which would give me an accurate count?

Looks like it isn't accurate enough anyway. Have you tried RegExing it then?

Any advice, suggestions would be helpful Thanks Sandeep -----Original Message----- From: Robertson-Ravo, Neil (RX) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 10 July 2003 12:50 To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: RE: [ cf-dev ] HTML word count 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. -----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.
