How do you get the length of a string?
Solution 1:
You don't need jquery, just use yourstring.length
. See reference here and also here.
Update:
To support unicode strings, length need to be computed as following:
[..."𠮷"].length
or create an auxiliary function
function uniLen(s) {
return [...s].length
}
Solution 2:
The easiest way:
$('#selector').val().length

jQuery is a JavaScript library.
You don't need to use jQuery to get the length of a string because it is a basic JavaScript string object property.

SCRIPT
alert(jQuery('.selector').text().length);
