Hi,

 

(small caveat, doing this from memory but should be most of the changes)

 

var f = event.value;

var aWords = f.split(" ");
var nNumWords = aWords.length;

this.getField("WordCount").value = "Word Count - " + nNumWords;

if(nNumWords > 200){
WordCount.rawValue="Word Count - 200";

app.alert ( "Maximum Word Count Reached"):

}

 

Assuming you are running it on the field that you want to count, this should about do it.

 

Regards

 

Malcolm
