hi!

Althought the code worked like a gem, it disables my e-mail form, it wont submit the information typed in, filled in, in my email form.

It makes the submit form redunant!

help!
thanks

Just add the parts in bold into your textarea ^_^

<textarea name=message wrap=physical cols=28 rows=4 onKeyDown="textCounter(this.form.message,this.form.remLen,125 );" onKeyUp="textCounter(this.form.message,this.form.remLen,125 );"></textarea>
<br>
<input readonly type=text name=remLen size=3 maxlength=3 value="125"> characters left
