hi,

I found this script here on the forum and was hoping someone could help me modify it??

It's perfect except for my use, except i would like it to count the spaces too.

<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">

</script></head>

<body>
<input id="ip" size="10" onkeyup="Calculate(this,1.6,'op');" onblur="Calculate(this,1.6,'op');"><br>
<input id="op" size="10"><br>

thanks!!

Just take out the line that removes the spaces and count the object value instead.

nu=obj.value.replace(/\s/g,'').length;
remove that line

document.getElementById(opid).value='£'+(obj.value*m).toFixed(2);
Change that line to above.

thanks Nikki. Now I need to be able to remove line breaks and tabs in the text that is input in the textarea.

Can someone show me how this is done?

thanks, jo

Same way. Just change the expression in the replace.

thanks. Can you help me with the syntax? I'm not sure of how to have two things to replace and also the regular expression?

much appreciated!

nu=obj.value.replace(/\n\t/gi,'');

i.e replace newlines and horizontal tabs by nothing.
