Getting sometimes NaN on the chars remaining. And it stays that way afterwards even after deleting chars… Any clue why?

Thanks for the great plugin. It was just what I needed!

Isn’t this awkward?

var lineFeeds = textarea.val().match(/[^n]*n[^n]*/gi).length;

You are (case insensitively) searching for:

1) zero or more
non-newlines,
2) a
newline and
3) then again zero or more non-newlines.

My quess is that ***any*** newline will match this regex, independently of what preceding/succeeding characters.

When the field contains the maximum number of characters, I can type in the middle of the field and I lose the text at the end of the field. Any idea of how to prevent this?

This appears to not work in IE 8 (and below, perhaps). I’ve started at the code and made a few tweaks, but nothing helps. I don’t get any errors, though.
