Count characters/sms using jQuery

Question

I count characters using NobleCount and the following code:

$(\'#message\').NobleCount(\'#messageInfo\',{
            max_chars: getMaxChars(),
            o         


        

Answer 1

Once the message has been decoded as Craig McQueen stated in a this thread post and you have your actual character count, to count the needed SMS amount the following is enough:

function cntsms(len){ return len<=0? 0: (len>160? Math.ceil(len/153): 1); }

...I like one-row solutions so much.
