The plugins site is currently in development.

We've been looking to provide a higher-quality, spam-free experience at the plugins site for some time, and a major error on our part forced us to shut down the current site before we could put the new one in place. We are developing a new site, and you can follow along with its development on GitHub. For more information about this transition, including steps you can take as a plugin author to prepare, please read our post about what's going on.

char limit


Super textarea

Submitted by tandu on October 6, 2010 - 9:48pm

This plugin can be run on textareas to turn them into super textareas! These textareas have the ability to grow and shrink horizontally and vertically to fit the text. It is highly extensible and will work with different font settings. You can style the textarea, give it a "maxlength", and automatically display remaining characters.

In addition to the growing and shrinking, you can change the textarea to replace tab key presses with real tab stops or spaces without losing focus. Writing in textareas has never been simpler.

Text limiter for form fields

Counts down the number of chars left on a Textarea/Input fields,
won't let the user write more than allowed number of characters.
When copy/paste text, it trims it to the set limit, and also
has an option for slow trimming, char by char (define speed).

<script>
  jQuery("textarea").textlimit('span.counter',20);
</script>

<form>
  <span class="counter"></span>
  <textarea cols="40" rows="10"></textarea>
</form>
