《JavaScript 源码分析》之 maxlength.js

 /*
   @author: Terry
   @params:
     feedback - the selector for the element that gives the user feedback. Note that this will be relative to the form the plugin is run against.
     hardLimit - whether to stop the user being able to keep adding characters. Defaults to true.
     useInput - whether to look for a hidden input named 'maxlength' instead of the maxlength attribute. Defaults to false.
     words - limit by characters or words, set this to true to limit by words. Defaults to false.

   @version: 1.2
   @changes: code tidy via Ariel Flesler and fix when pasting over limit and including \t or \n
