I have a php script that collects info from a form and validates it and then sends the data to my e-mail. One of the fields is a "Comments" area. I have limited it to 500 characters. Is there a way to have some sort of counter that counts backwards from 500 to let the person know how many characters are left to type. I would assume that this is a java-script.
I am more familiar with php at this point than java so would like to retain the php form script but incoroprate the counter.

Any ideas?

Something like this?

Code:

<textarea name="comments" onkeyup="document.getElementById('charsleft').innerHTML=(500 - this.value.length);"></textarea>

Chars left: <span id="charsleft"></span>

Man are you guys quick!!

Where would I put the script in relation to the php script?
