Script that counts characters of any field you can write on in HTML.

• Character-counter.js supports copy and paste of text

Character-counter.js is designed for a specific case, but you can change it to your needs easely. In the code case, it counts the characters from a textbox with "id=messagebody" and a not null maxlength. It uses the maxlength to create the counter, then removes it (line 9). It also uses default body color to paint the counter.

To change ID (or way to search for input field), go to line 6. To change CSS, go to lines 19-23.

This code supports paste of text.
