sms character counter problem

[jacost]

I have a script that counts the characters in a textarea field, and it works fine, but I need to change the number of characters that counts when user press "Enter - Reurn" from his keyboard.The following function each "Enter" counts it for 2 characters.I need to change that.Any suggestions?


[code]
function CountDown()
{
var inputStr;
var strlength;
var maxNumber;
var form1Number;

form1Number = 1;
maxNumber = 3000;
if (document.form1.list2.value != null)
{
inputStr = document.form1.list2.value;
strlength= inputStr.length;
if (strlength > maxNumber )
{
document.form1.list2.value=inputStr.substring(0,maxNumber);
charleft = 0;
}
else
{
charleft = maxNumber - strlength;
}

document.form1.form1LEFT.value="'Left " +charleft + " Characters";
}
}
[code]

Why would the number of characters change by pressing enter or return?
