Word Count Display for Fillout Forms

This utility adds a real-time word count feature to text areas in Fillout forms. By inserting this HTML/JavaScript snippet as an HTML block in your form, users can track their word count in real time, with an optional limit to improve form usability and accessibility.

Key Features

• Real-Time Word Count: Automatically updates as the user types.
• Customizable Target: Works with text areas identified by the aria-label attribute. Replace "YOUR_UNIQUE_ARIA_LABEL" in the script with the aria-label of your target text area.
• Optional Word Limit: Set a maximum word count, and the utility will visually indicate when the limit is exceeded by changing the background and text color of the word count element.
• Customizable Colors: Easily change the default and warning colors to match your form's design.
