Simple Textarea Word Counter jQuery Plugin

Posted In Web Development - By On Thursday, October 20th, 2011 With 0 Comments

I know there are a few textarea word counter jQuery plugins out there already, but I felt like building my own since I wasn’t a fan of the ones that are available. Nothing new here but I did my best at making it as simple to use and efficient as possible.

(function($){


	$.fn.textareaCounter = function(options) {


		// setting the defaults


		// $("textarea").textareaCounter({ limit: 100 });


		var defaults = {


			limit: 100


		};	


		var options = $.extend(defaults, options);
