Article Man.2 :: Number of Words in each Article?

Hello:
Just wondering if there is the option of adding the number of words in each article. We would like to display this information in our articles if possible.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers to all,
Kim

Hi Kim
Thanks for the post,
I think you can be able to implement the word count feature for the articlePage.html page by applying javascript for counting number of words..As i am not an expert in it i am not sure how it will look.Like
function countWords(){
document.form1.wordcount.value = document.form1.inputString.value.split(' ').length;
}
Try applying some javascript like this in your article page and let me know how you come up with it.
Cheers
Divya

Hi Kim,
Divya's idea is a good one and I'll elaborate a little bit more on it.
I'm not a JavaScript expert myself but what you could do is publish your article content to a hidden textarea, and then use some JavaScript similar to Divya's to count the number of words in that textarea. You could do this by adding the following code to your /templates/articlePages/articlePage.html template file.
<textarea id="content" style="display: none;">$article.content:textOnly$</textarea>
<script>
var totalWords = document.getElementById("content").value.split(" ").length;
document.write ("This article has " + totalWords + " words.");
</script>
Gives this a try and let me know if it works.
