[SOLVED] Text Area remaining character counter

Thank you for the quick response Kyle.

The code works perfectly - sort of! The counters are working but not displaying because the <div> is within the <textarea> tags. Like so:

<textarea>"text here"<div id="remainingCharacters">927</div></textarea>

I've tried playing around with the code for ages but can't for the life of me figure out how to make the <div> appear outside of the <textarea> using this code as a basis.

Help very much appreciated.

Right, it's just an example. Instead of doing an "append" you'll want to do "after" to add it after the input element. Please see the below documentation for jQuery usage information.

Thank you very much for your help on this. I've now managed to get it working successfully based on your advice.

Thanks.

Dear Nickr, could you provide me the final codeing for this counter?

I can't get it working ...
