Limit words in a textarea
<p>I've done a bit of searching on this. Found plenty of scripts that counted characters and even counted words but couldn't find one that removes any words that go over the word limit....</p>

<p>Here is my script so far...:</p>

<pre><code>var maxWords = 10;
function countWordsLeft(field) {    
    totalWords = field.value.split(' ');    
    if (totalWords.length &gt; maxWords)
        field.value = field.value.substring(0, maxWords);
    else
        document.getElementById('description_count').innerHTML = maxWords - totalWords.length;
}
</code></pre>

<p>I've got the following line which I copied from a character count script but obviously this wont work because I am counting words</p>

<pre><code>if (totalWords.length &gt; maxWords)
   field.value = field.value.substring(0, maxWords);
</code></pre>

<p>How do I make the script delete any extra words added over the limit? I need this especially if they paste in a description... It needs to count the words and then delete any words over the limit.</p>

<p>Appreciate your help!</p>
