TextAreaWithStatus 1.0 has been released http://code.google.com/p/text-area-with-status/ == Overview = This plugin is extending builtin text_area and text_area_tag helpers with the ability to display chars left up to a specified limit. Basically it turns this: <%= f.text_area :description, :onkeyup => "limit_chars(this, 100, $ (''chars_left''))" %><br /> <span id="chars_left">You have <%= 100 - @object.description.length %> characters left. </span> into this: <%= f.text_area :description, :max_chars => 100 %> You can also customize the status message. == Install & Setup = You can install it with: script/plugin install http://text-area-with-status.googlecode.com/svn/tags/text_area_with_status Upon install it will try to copy the needed .js file under public/ javascripts folder and display the README. If that fails you can either try to manually run the install script like this: ruby vendor/plugins/text_area_with_status/install.rb or just manually copy the needed .js file. Please see the included README for more detailed instructions. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
