Step 1:Create index.html file and implement below code.
<textarea id="text-content" cols="70" rows="4" onKeyup="count_remaining_character()" placeholder="At least 100 character"></textarea> <h2 id="character-count" align="right">150</h2>
Step 2:Implement jQuery to count characters.
<script> function count_remaining_character() { var max_length = 100; var character_entered = $('#text-content').val().length; var character_remaining = max_length - character_entered; $('#character-count').html(character_remaining); if (max_length < character_entered) { $('#character-count').css('color', '#FF0000'); } else { $('#character-count').css('color', '#A0A0A0'); } } </script>
