Word and Character Counter to update with every key press?

Reply Quote

The word and character counter at the bottom right of the editor seems to only update when you press enter, back space or don't press something for a certain amount of seconds, how can I make it so that it updates after every key press?

Hi davideo,

The developer hard code on that function. So for now can not change it.

The example below shows you how to shows the work count out side the editor when the key press. Hope it help.

<?php include_once("cuteeditor_files/include_CuteEditor.php") ; ?>

<html>

<head>

</head>

<body>

<?php

$editor=new CuteEditor();

$editor->ID="Editor1";

$editor->Draw();

$editor=null;

</div>

</form>

</body>

</html>

var text1=document.getElementById("text1");

function isIE() {

if (window.navigator.userAgent.toLowerCase().indexOf("msie") != -1) return true;

else return false;

}

function GetPlainText() {

var editor1 = document.getElementById('CE_Editor1_ID');

var plainText = document.getElementById("plainText");

plainText.innerHTML = editor1.GetHTML();

var text;

if (isIE()) {

text = plainText.innerText;

}

else {

text = plainText.textContent;

}

var words = text.replace(/\s+/g, "-").split("-");

var count = 0;

for (var i = 0; i < words.length; i++) {

if (words[i] != "") {

count++;

}

text1.value=count;

plainText.innerHTML = "";

}

function showWordCount(oEvent)

{

GetPlainText();

}

function CuteEditor_OnInitialized(editor)

{

var editdoc = editor.GetDocument();

if(window.addEventListener)

{

editdoc.addEventListener("keypress",showWordCount,"false");

}

editdoc.body.onkeydown=function()

{

GetPlainText();

}

</script>

Regards,

Ken
