Ingolme Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 You want each textarea to have its own limit? Inside the event handler you could start it off like this: if(obj.name == "Message 1") { maxwords = 250;} else { maxwords = 300;} Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justsomeguy Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 You could also pass the maximum length as another parameter to the function, or calculate the value from the sum of the count and remaining elements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
