How can I get the length of text entered in a textbox using jQuery?
754
We can find the length of the string by the jQuery . length property. The length property contains the number of elements in the jQuery object. Thus it can be used to get or find out the number of characters in a string.
value. length; document. getElementById(displayto). innerHTML = len; } </script> <textarea id="data" cols="40" rows="5" onkeyup="countChars('data','charcount');" onkeydown="countChars('data','charcount');" onmouseout="countChars('data','charcount');"></textarea><br> <span id="charcount">0</span> characters entered.
var myLength = $("#myTextbox").val().length;
If your textbox has an id attribute of "mytextbox", then you can get the length like this:
var myLength = $("#mytextbox").val().length;
$("#mytextbox") finds the textbox by its id..val() gets the value of the input element entered by the user, which is a string..length gets the number of characters in the string.
