I'm trying to get Jquery to append ('after') to some (class) of my inputs so the user knows how much more they can type. Is this even possible?

```
<script>
$(function() {
    $(".maxinputmessage") .after("<br><em>(Maximim characters: " + document.getElementById(this).maxLength + ") You have " + ( document.getElementById(this).maxLength - document.getElementById(this).Length) + " characters left.</em>");

});
</script>

```

with:

```
<label for="EditPVComment">PV Comments</label>
<textarea class="maxinputmessage" id="EditPVComment" name="EditPVComment" cols="80" rows="10" maxlength="3000" style="width:400px;">Some text here maybe.</textarea>

```

I got stuck with the maxLength and I would also like to update as they type and tell them how many characters they have left. (Is this to much for Jquery?) Thanks!
