Ok, first let me say that I am still learning javascript and am by no means close to being a “Guru” ? .

Thus, my quandry. I have a form set up with a textarea. What I need is a script that will count the number of times a certain set of characters appear in the textarea.

To be a bit more clear, I need to find, for instance, all occurances of <b> and then check to see if there is a matching set of </b> tags.

I know this can be done. However, I am just not sure where to start nor which direction to go with it.

Any suggestions are much appreciated.

@mrhooAug 27.2006 — [CODE]String.prototype.hasAny=function(rx){
if(typeof(rx)=='string') rx=RegExp(rx,'g');
var M= this.match(rx);
return (M)? M.length: 0;
}[/CODE]
