I'm looking for a script that can countdown the number of characters remaining for a MULTILINE textbox in vb.net. There are a number of these around as freebies but none of them operate as well as the one on eBay. Even if you copy and paste a whole load of text into the eBay textbox, it will automatically change the amount of characters remaining (if any) and remove excess characters. Can I suggest interested coders take a look at selling an item on eBay amd when you get to the Postage Instructions section, you will see what I'm looking for.
