Nice. The info this plugin provides is on the scale of other interface option on the write page not very important, so would it be better placed at the foot of the page under last modified. Otherwise, imo, it tends to clutter the page.

Thanks for good work.

I see something that can drag bottom border of your body textarea – how did you do this?

Rip from Drupal

Cheers!

i used this guy (although i think i like drupals simple opacity dimming effect and might ‘rip’ it from there)

slapped it into a quick plugin and voila.

if you already use hak_tinymce it has built-in resizing as well.

When installing it shows strange help …

Some improvements:

1. Add title to body and excerpt words counters – Something like “Amount of words in body” and “Amount of words in excerpt”. Little but pleasent thing for users with bad memory
2. If you can – take out all language-sensetive output strings to one place. Because it’s much easier to translate such plugins…
3. Ability to count symbols instead of words would be nice :)

P.S. It seem’s RegExp of plugin doesn’t like textile? Look this screenshot. Sorry for russian text, bit you can see that it counts wrong :)

Some code issues:

1. instead of using <div style=\"display:inline;\" id=\"lam-word-excerpt\"></div> you can use <span id=\"lam-word-excerpt\"></span> – no need to define block as inline element if there is institutional inline element span
2. Thinking more…
