title: TinyMCE text editor max char limit
body: <p>I am using TinyMCE for <code>&lt;textarea&gt;</code>. My requirement is to limit the character size to 2000 and also to show the remaining characters somewhere below the tool bar. I somehow managed to get the characters number; now I am stuck with displaying the remaining characters and prevent from exceeding limit.</p>
  
  <p>Here is my TinyMCE code</p>
  
  <pre><code>tinyMCE.init({
      // General options
      mode : "textareas",
      theme : "simple",
      plugins : "autolink,lists,pagebreak,style,table,save,advhr,advimage,
                 advlink,emotions,media,noneditable,visualchars,nonbreaking,
                 xhtmlxtras,template",
  
      // Theme options
      theme_advanced_buttons1 : "bold,italic,underline,strikethrough,|,
                                 justifyleft,justifycenter,justifyright,
                                 justifyfull,|,styleselect,formatselect,
                                 fontselect,fontsizeselect", 
      theme_advanced_buttons2 : "bullist,numlist,|,outdent,indent,|,undo,redo,|,
                                 link,unlink,anchor,image,code,|,forecolor,
                                 backcolor",
      theme_advanced_toolbar_location : "top",
      theme_advanced_toolbar_align : "left",
      theme_advanced_statusbar_location : "bottom",
      theme_advanced_resizing : true,
      charLimit : 10, // this is a default value which can get modified later
      setup : function(ed) {
          //peform this action every time a key is pressed
          ed.onKeyUp.add(function(ed, e) {
          //define local variables
          var tinymax, tinylen, htmlcount;
          //manually setting our max character limit
          tinymax = ed.settings.charLimit;
          //grabbing the length of the curent editors content
          tinylen = ed.getContent().replace(/(&lt;([^&gt;]+)&gt;)/ig,"").length;
          //setting up the text string that will display in the path area
          htmlcount = "HTML Character Count: " + tinylen + "/" + tinymax;
          //if the user has exceeded the max turn the path bar red.
          if (tinylen&gt;tinymax){
  
  
          } 
          });
      }
  });
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>For testing purpose I am trying to limit up to 10 char.<br>
  Any suggestions are welcome.</p>
