htmlareacounter?

Good afternoon all. I’m working on a community site which is a bundled script. Via the admin backend I’m able to create profile fields in memo, divider, dropbox forms. I’m however looking to make one input field for members to be an html input area to display in their profiles. I was handed the code:

[code=php]<tr><td class=”join_td_1″>My Special Area</td><td class=”join_td_2″>
<table cellpadding=”0″ cellspacing=”2″ border=”0″><tr><td align=”right”><table cellpadding=”0″ cellspacing=”2″ border=”0″ align=”right”><tr><td align=”right” valign=”middle”>Character counter: </td><td width=”30″><input type=”text” readonly=”readonly” id=”htmlareacounter” name=”htmlareacounter” size=”3″ value=0 class=”input_textarea_counter” /></td></tr></table></td></tr><tr><td><textarea class=”textarea_edit” id=”htmlarea” name=”htmlarea” cols=”40″ rows=”10″
onKeyDown=”javascript: document.getElementById(‘htmlareacounter’).value = document.getElementById(‘htmlarea’).value.length;”
onKeyUp=”javascript: document.getElementById(‘htmlareacounter’).value = document.getElementById(‘htmlarea’).value.length;” ></textarea>
</td></tr><tr><td align=”center”> [/code]

Obviously, simply using this htmlareacounter code by itself is of no use. Assistance anyone?

Also in #JavaScript _↴
