+10I had success in previous CMS tools where I could have a red character count shown to users after they started typing into a memo box of sorts.
Is there a way to display / show number of characters remaining in a textbox area?
If I set the max to 256 and it does a count down.
Thank you in advance!

That was for word count which started pointing me down a path that did get me what I needed.
The key that I missed was having the Script / Datalabel in the same cell as the Text Area. Not sure if this is efficient or the right way to go but it did work.
I ended up having 2 data labels
1: Name: CharacterScript - Literal / Holds expression
<Script language = "Javascript"> $(document).ready(function () { var wrdCountDataLabel = $("[name='CCount']"); wrdCountDataLabel.parent().find('input[type=text], textarea').keydown(function () { console.log($(this).val().length); $("[name='CCount']").html((256 - $(this).val().length) +"/256"); }); }); </Script>
*** The bolded item is populated with my 2nd datalabel that holds the text for the count.
2: Name: CCount
I would now LOVE to get conditional styling setup on that field that if the content is 0/256 the text is green else it is red. But can't seem to get that to work.
