This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.
Problem:
The issue here is that the user wanted to limit the amount of characters in their form field.
Solution:
This can be done by using the code in the example below.
jQuery(document).ready(function ($) {
$('[name^=post_excerpt]').attr('maxlength',280);
});
( function( $ ) {
$( document ).ready( function(){
// insert div to display char count
$('textarea[name="post_excerpt"]').after("<div class='char-count'>0</div>");
// listen for keyup and update the count
$('textarea[name="post_excerpt"]').keyup( function(){
var chars = $('textarea[name="post_excerpt"]').val().length;
$('.char-count').html( chars );
});
});
})( jQuery );
To display the counter you will need to add a p tag to your form with the class "char-count"
