A letter count is FAR easier - just get the string's length.

Is it as simple to do a letter count?

or if you really do want it as a plugin

Plugin:
(function($){
   $.fn.stringCount = function() {

var string = this.text();

        var count = string.split(" ");
        var result = count.length;

return result

   }
})(jQuery);

Use:
$(function(){
    alert( $("span.string").stringCount() );
});

you don't need a plugin, this will do it

var string = $("span.string").text();
var count = string.split(" ");
alert(count.length);

Hi all,

Any jquery plugin can check number of word in a string instead using of .length?...
