I am trying to limit the number of words in a text box to 75 but they can be less than that.

Hello @Linda_charlton ,Use the below code var that=this.questionId; jQuery("<p id='count'>Words remaining: 75</p>").insertAfter("#"+that +" .QuestionText"); var numOfWords = 0; jQuery("#"+that +" .InputText").on("cut copy paste",function(e) { e.preventDefault(); }); jQuery("#"+that +" .InputText").keypress(function(){ numOfWords =jQuery("#"+that +" .InputText").val().replace(/^[\\s,.;]+/, "").replace(/[\\s,.;]+$/, "").split(/[\\s,.;]+/).length; jQuery("#count").text("Words remaining: "+(75-parseInt(numOfWords))); if( numOfWords > 74 ){ event.preventDefault(); } });

Simple validation will also work for purely text entry question. Put maximum characters to 75.!
