Hi there,
I'm currently working on a piece of code to count (and display) the number of characters entered in the editor. I've already found a function that counts the number of 'real' characters, so without the html-elements, which works great. The script obviously needs an event to activate it, so currently i've placed it under a button that pops up the result of the count.
However, to get the script to react on the input of the user i want to move it to the 'onkeyup'-event. This is where the problem comes in: i cant find the appropriate element in the FCKeditor in which i can implement the onkeyup-event. The only things i can find are either tables or iframes that seem to get replaced in the end, which makes my code disappear.
In what element should i place the onkeyup-event so that it's being used by the FCKeditor?

Re: Active character count for FCKeditor
I know this problem can be found all over the internet, but -none- of the topics (including this one
) provide a solution for the problem. If I overlooked something, please tell me, or post a link to a topic/page that does have the solution.

Re: Active character count for FCKeditor
I guess i must replace keyword editorInstance with the name of my fckeditor instance. Is EditorDocument to be replaced too ?
