Anyone know of a firefox text box character count tool?

I am in need of a firefox add-in, some type of script, or something that will let me count the number of characters in a text field or in the body of a gmail message.  Please let me know if you have any thoughts on how i can accomplish this.

    this one didnt work for me, even after i got it installed
    http://www.ginatrapani.org/workshop/firefox/textareawordcounter/

    and this one claims to do this--
    "2. Has primitive character counting abilities. The character count doesn't show up in the status bar and you can't copy it to the clipboard or do anything with it really, but if you want to see the selected and total character counts, you can hover in the status bar panel and they show up in the tool tip text."

  • @TY thanks for the find. the first one i couldnt get to work either. but the second has a new version release located at http://wordcountplus.mozdev.org/betarelease.html that i was able to install and work. you do have to click and then hover to get the word count, but it is better than nothing.
    Thanks!
