textCounter - Twitter style input field character countdown jQuery plugin
I've been using jQuery for a long time, since mid to late 2006, and in that whole time I've never written a plugin for this wonderful JavaScript library. Well that's changed now with the release of textCounter, a Twitter style input field character countdown jQuery plugin. The company I now work for, Goba.mobi, had a need for this and so I jumped at the chance to knock it out. It solves a need for us, maybe it'll solve a need for you as well? You can hit the textCounter demo page to see it in action, as well as download both the production, and development versions.
