How can I get the length of text entered in a textbox using jQuery?

var myLength = $("#myTextbox").val().length;

If your textbox has an id attribute of "mytextbox", then you can get the length like this:

var myLength = $("#mytextbox").val().length;

• $("#mytextbox") finds the textbox by its id.
• .val() gets the value of the input element entered by the user, which is a string.
• .length gets the number of characters in the string.

For me its not text box its a span tag and this worked for me.

var len = $("span").text().length;

Below mentioned code works perfectly fine for taking length of any characters entered in textbox.

$("#Texboxid").val().length;
