tinyMCE Word Count

[Edit July 13, 2008]: If you are using a version that is older than 3.x then replace

var strip=stripcode(tinyMCE.activeEditor.getContent())

with this:

var strip=stripcode(tinyMCE.getContent(tiny_ID));

[/Edit]

function countWords()
{
var tiny_ID; //This is the ID of your tinyMCE content ID
var strip=stripcode(tinyMCE.activeEditor.getContent())
strip=stripcode(strip);

if(strip=="")
{
document.myform.wordcount.value=0;
}
else
{
document.myform.wordcount.value = strip.split(' ').length;
}
}

</script>

Next what you are going to do is after the tinyMCE code, you are going to put this code:
