A Gentle Suggestion

[foreverpurity]

I see that you have a Word count there on the side, but how about having it embedded in the posting page. Here's the code:

Global Footer


<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
/* Posting/PM Word Count - created by Eton Bones */

//set to minimum word count needed in order to make a post
//or set to 0 to disable word count enforcement.
var wordCountLimit=0;

if(document.getElementsByName('message').length){
var __submitBtn,__wc,__msg
__msg=document.getElementsByName('message')[0];
__submitBtn=document.getElementsByTagName('input');
for(var count=0;count<__submitBtn.length;count++){
if(__submitBtn[count].accessKey && __submitBtn[count].accessKey=='s'){__submitBtn=__submitBtn[count];break;}
}
if(typeof(__submitBtn.length)=="undefined"){
__btnText=__submitBtn.value;
__wc=document.createElement('div'); __wc.id="wordcount";
__wc.appendChild(document.createTextNode('Word Count: '));
__wc.appendChild(document.createElement('span'));
__submitBtn.parentNode.appendChild(__wc);
count=__msg.value.match(/\b\w+\b/g);
count=(count)?count.length:0;
__wc.lastChild.innerHTML=count;
if(count<wordCountLimit && !location.href.match(/ion=pmsend/)){__submitBtn.disabled=true;}
if(document.addEventListener){
__msg.addEventListener("keyup",wordUp,false);
__msg.addEventListener("input",wordUp,false);
__msg.addEventListener("change",wordUp,false);
}else if(document.attachEvent){
__msg.attachEvent("onpropertychange",wordUp);
}else{
__msg.onkeyup=wordUp;
__msg.onmouseup=wordUp;
__msg.onchange=wordUp;
}
}
}

function wordUp(event){
if(this.document){var thiss=event.srcElement;}else{var thiss=this;}
var count=thiss.value.match(/\b\w+\b/g); count=(count)?count.length:0;
if(count>=wordCountLimit && wordCountLimit >0 && __submitBtn.disabled){
__submitBtn.disabled=false;
}
__wc.lastChild.innerHTML=count;

}
//-->
</script>
