I have installet version 5.x-1.0 and configured it. However, I don't see the javascript character countdown. I do have javascript enabled. Where should I be looking for this?

Thanks for any suggestions

Do you see any related errors in the JavaScript console?

@Babalu, changing the version back to 5.x-1.0 since this is what macuhail reported, but took note that you are seeing the same thing with 6.x-1.x-dev.

I tried it in firefox with firebug open and I did not see any errors.

How about the plain old JavaScript console (or Error Console) under the Tools menu?

Do you have other modules installed that maybe you can disable, just to see if there is a module conflict?

The problem has been fixed, but it I am not sure what caused it. I had already created the content type before I installed maxlength so that may have been it.

The first content type (that didn't work) was named quick updates. I just created another content type called test and the character count worked fine. So I deleted quick updates and created another content type called quick stories. And once again the character count did not work.

But when I created a content type called short updates, the character count did work. Not sure what to make of that though.

That must be the issue with underscore characters in content type names (the internal names). See #304270: dashes must be replaced with underscores.

Can you please try 5.x-1.x-dev?
