jquery-character-counter's Issues

Error in IE8

The following error is thrown when calling the characterCounter() in IE8 (e.g. $('#textareaID').characterCounter({ ...options... }) ):

Expected identifier
Object doesn't support this property or method

I'm not sure if you are aiming to support IE8 as I couldn't see any supported browser details, so I'm not sure if this is really a problem. I've tried to identify which property or method is the offender but have been unable to find it thus far. Hopefully someone else more knowledgeable than me might be able to figure it out.

Licensing?

I just noticed that this plugin has no license file at all. Can you please add a license to this project?

Doesn't work on input field

Hi,
Not sure if this is a bug or simply never implemented. This plugin doesn't work on input fileds.
Is there solution/hack to allow me to use it on input fields as well?
Thanks a lot.

Support multiple counters on one page

I have a form that has over 20 fields on it that need to have a character counter displayed.

Calling $("textarea").characterCounter(); results in each textarea getting a counter, but they all share the same value.

Same issue if I attach characterCounter() to two different ids.

It would be awesome if this supported the ability to add counters for multiple fields on one page.

Custom classes

counterCssClass option can only be used to override the counter classes. However, it would be useful to be able to add custom classes to the element instead of overriding the one and only class that is available right now

semantic versioning

Hi,

Can you add semantic version to the file? Now it says 1.x, a old version I have says 1.0.

Should be something like 1.0.1, 1.2.0 etc etc.

Thanks!

Conflict when using jquery validate

Take a look at my example, the counter works fine unless you hit submit and validation error fires, the counter stops working after the first error occurs on a field

http://jsfiddle.net/4k1vokgv/1/

try typing in the first textarea and hit submit, notice the first textarea's counter still will work, but the second textarea counter will not work even if validation is ok

I am just trying to figure out the conflict or the event that is halting the counter

support more than one class for counterCssClass

currently if more than once class is added the plugin breaks.

Would it be possible to have a fix to add multiple classes?

Reset counter

Hi,

Is there a callback to reset / refresh the counter?

Thanks
