Word and Character Counter

Enter your text:

In this script, we use an HTML form to ask the user to input their text using a textarea input field. We then use JavaScript to count the number of words and characters in the text, and display the results in a paragraph element with an id of "result". The JavaScript function uses the trim() method to remove any leading or trailing whitespace, then splits the text into an array of words using a regular expression that matches one or more whitespace characters. The length property is used to determine the number of words in the array, and the length property of the original text is used to determine the number of characters. Both counts are then displayed in the paragraph element using the innerHTML property.
