Minimum description with counter (javascript)

[linksor.com]

I have implemented checking of the minimum length of the description.

I'd like to inform submitter about the number of letters in the text box. I am not familiar with javascript but looking to add a counter near the word DESCRIPTION which shows how many letters where submitted in the text box area.

Can you help me with that ?

sorry for bumping. it should be helpful:

in add_form.html

after last <script> .... </script> add

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">

function validateIt(f)

{

	if (f.elements['description'].value.length<350)

	{

		alert('Description must be longer then 350 characters !!!');

		return false;

	}

	return true;

}

</script>

and a little below in <form .... > modify that line and add "onSubmit" funcion

    <form action="add.php" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data" name="add_frm" onSubmit="return validateIt(this);">
