This feature should be standard in EE, and when they finally get to it: this is exactly how it should be implemented. Very nicely made indeed!

This is a great add on, the only thing it needs is compatibility with the Grid field type. I am employing Grid more an more frequently, especially on pages where I am also using the Single Entry add-on, and I’d love to be able to give the user a character count on those fields too.

Great extension to stop daft clients pasting or typing in crazy amounts of text that destroy tight layouts.  Highly recommended.

So glad this is finally available for EE 2. A client-friendly way to prevent content from munging a carefully planned layout.

A simple addon that really improves the usability of the back-end.
