is only working for English letters and dose not recognize the arabic letters can any one fix this for me
otherways the code wont work at my forum thanks

Someone would need to translate the code into Arabic so it would recognize the Arabic letters.

I'll have a look when I have free time. The problem may be with the regular expression.

thats good news to i will be waiting for the fixed code that able to count Arabic letters

is there any good news about the code ?

I've converted it to a character counter, it is a bit difficult to count the Arabic words since they are not recognized as a word character.

Try this :

Code:

$(function(){$(function(){

           var MinNumberOfChars = 50;
           var ico_compl = "http://i73.servimg.com/u/f73/18/10/89/49/ok-gre10.png";
           var ico_incompl = "http://i73.servimg.com/u/f73/18/10/89/49/exclam10.png";  
      
        if($("#text_editor_textarea").length != 0){
              $("input[type='submit'][name='post']").attr("disabled", true).css("opacity", "0.5");      
              $(".sceditor-container").after("<br/><div id='div_minchars' align='center'><div id='div_minchars_header'> Minimum characters to send a message: " + MinNumberOfChars + " </div><div id='div_minchars_info'></div></div>");
              
              var sceditor = $("#text_editor_textarea").sceditor("instance");                  
              var str = sceditor.val();
              var str_len = str.length;
              
              if(str_len >= MinNumberOfChars) $("input[type='submit'][name='post']").attr("disabled", false).css("opacity", "1");
              
              sceditor.keyUp(function(e) {
                 str = sceditor.val();
                 str_len = str.length;
                 if(str_len >= MinNumberOfChars) {
                    $("#div_minchars_info").html("You've written <span style='color:green'>" + str_len + "</span> character(s). You can now send the message <img src='" + ico_compl  + "' />");  
                $("input[type='submit'][name='post']").attr("disabled", false).css("opacity", "1");
                 }else{
                    $("#div_minchars_info").html("You've written <span style='color:red'>" + str_len + "</span> character(s). You need " + (MinNumberOfChars - str_len) + " character(s) to send this message <img src='" + ico_incompl  + "' />");
                    $("input[type='submit'][name='post']").attr("disabled", true).css("opacity", "0.5");
                 }
              });
           }
        })});

To change the minimum number of characters modify the value of MinNumberOfChars.
