This will do the trick:

function countChars(){
		var oForm =3D document.forms["countCharForm"];
		var intNoOfChars =3D
oForm.elements["textOne"].value.length +
oForm.elements["textTwo"].value.length +
oForm.elements["textareaText"].value.length;
		if(parseInt(navigator.appVersion, 10) > 4 ||
navigator.appName =3D=3D "Microsoft Internet Explorer")
document.getElementById("noOfChars").innerHTML =3D intNoOfChars;
    }

<form name=3D"countCharForm">
	<input type=3D"text" name=3D"textOne" onKeyUp=3D"countChars()">
	<input type=3D"text" name=3D"textTwo" onKeyUp=3D"countChars()">
	<textarea cols=3D"10" rows=3D"10" name=3D"textareaText"
onKeyUp=3D"countChars()"></textarea>
</form>

=C4mne: [javascript] Character Counter (count all chars in a form).



I am trying to count all characters in a form.
Using events ('onChange' & 'onBlur' to update the counter constantly).

There are only three inputs that need counting:
- 2 x <INPUT TYPE=3D"text">
- 1 x <TEXTAREA>

Can anyone advise or point me towards a good sample script?

Many Thanks,
Charles
