Hey. Couldn´t you just load the text from the text area into a string, and then loop through it and count the spaces in the string? I think that should work...

traditionally i would say find a javascript to do it. But if you insist on ASP then the contents of the input must be made into a string. then split into an array (as would be done in javascript)


<%
' Put form contents into a variable
In_String = Request.Form("Input_Name")

' Split the string into an array, separated by a space
WordArray = Split(In_String, " ")

' Count the array rows
Word_Count = UBound(WordArray) + 1
' We must add 1 because arrays are zero based (0, 1, 2 etc)

%>


sorted.

HotScripts.com uses JavaScript to do it ... we even found the code by searching HotScripts.com! Amazing what cool things you can find on HotScripts.com!
