Character counter

Availability
[SINCE Orbeon Forms 4.10]
What it does
The fr:character-counter component encapsulates an existing text control and adds a character counter next to it.
Input field with character counter
It supports the following controls:
xf:input
xf:textarea
xf:secret
fr:tinymce
Basic usage
The component is generally activated using the appearance attribute:
<fr:input bind="message-bind" appearance="character-counter">
    <xf:label>Message</xf:label>
</fr:input>
The component automatically encapsulates the specified control, here xf:input.
The component displays its counter in different ways:
if no max-length validation is present on the bound node
the counter value is the current number of characters
a CSS class fr-charcounter-current is present on the counter
if a max-length validation is present on the bound node
if the current length is smaller than max-length
the counter value is the number of remaining characters allowed
a CSS class fr-charcounter-remaining is present on the counter
if the current length is larger than max-length
the counter value is the number of extra characters allowed
a CSS class fr-charcounter-over is present on the counter
By default, fr-charcounter-over places a minus sign in front of the number of characters over the limit.
Form Builder support
The CSS bindings allow Form Builder to propose the "Character Counter" appearance to the user automatically. See How the new Form Builder Appearance Selector Works for details.
