Limit the number of character in tinyMCE

Question

Im using tinyMCe for my project.Everything is working fine but now i want to restrict the number of character that will be insert into tinyMce text

Answer 1

Just to improve a little bit the good example given by Vladimir Miroshnichenko, to get a more accurate count, mainly for languages with accented characters.

I also inlcude the Javascript SpellChecker as the tinyMCE's one (4.1) cannot be used anymore. So the ed.addButton() will include a button in the toolbar to call $Spelling.SpellCheckInWindow('editors'). That perfectly works with tinyMCE 4.1.7.

I also added a count of words, if you prefer to trig the alarm on word instead of characters.

<?=htmlspecialchars($this->company->description);?>

Characters left:
