I sent an email your way. I've already implemented the JS I posted above. But I can disable it if you'd like. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/multiple-max-character-countlimit-issue#post-68662 Mon, 30 Jul 2012 17:50:22 +0000 David Smith 68662@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hi Aaron,</p> <p>Sorry, forgot to provide you my email: <a href="mailto:david@rocketgenius.com">david@rocketgenius.com</a>. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/multiple-max-character-countlimit-issue#post-68661 Mon, 30 Jul 2012 17:49:36 +0000 Aaron Ware 68661@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Does this site have the ability to direct message some one?

Seems like a simple update to /gravityforms/js/jquery.textareaCounter.plugin.js. </p> <p>This does not fix the issue as to why the plugin itself is binding the selector multiple times when the selector is within a light box or slideshow. Could be something to do with the element being display:none possibly. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/multiple-max-character-countlimit-issue#post-68597 Mon, 30 Jul 2012 13:11:06 +0000 Aaron Ware 68597@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Noticed there have been a few topics created over the last 6 months. But could not find any that actually had a resolution to this issue. </p> <p>Affects (Modal:Fancy Box, Thickbox or Slideshows:Anything Slider)</p> <p>The character count jQuery plugin that is being used is being fired multiple times. Not sure why but I don't see any JavaScript conflicts happening. One fix that I was going to implement on our end and suggest as an "improvement" would be to detect if a the .charleft has already been created for the selected textarea/input if it doesn't exist create it else return.</p> <p>Within /gravityforms/js/jquery.textareaCounter.plugin.js</p> <pre><code>var container = $(this); if(container.parent().has(&#39;.charleft&#39;).length === 0) { $(&quot;&lt;div class=&#39;charleft&#39;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&quot;).insertAfter(container); }</code></pre> <p>or possibly. depending on which way you want to go<br /> <pre><code>if(container.parent().has(&#39;.charleft&#39;).length &gt; 0) { return; } $(&quot;&lt;div class=&#39;charleft&#39;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&quot;).insertAfter(container);</code></pre> <p>Figured I would see if there was a fix at all on the roadmap or I'll just make a note to fix this after an update is applied.</p> <p>I believe this may also be related to an issue with ajax forms not submitting properly as well as seen in this post <a href="http://www.gravityhelp.com/forums/topic/using-ajax-with-contact-form-in-modal-window-getting-2-spinners" rel="nofollow">http://www.gravityhelp.com/forums/topic/using-ajax-with-contact-form-in-modal-window-getting-2-spinners</a></p> <p>EDIT: Made a change to my original markup based on some testing. </p>
