Here is the code that I found online to count the words a user has remaining in a textarea.
// Word Count
var submitcount=0;
function checkSubmit() {
if (submitcount == 0)
{
submitcount++;
document.Surv.submit();
}
}
function wordCounter(field, countfield, maxlimit) {
wordcounter=0;
for (x=0;x<field.value.length;x++) {
if (field.value.charAt(x) == " " && field.value.charAt(x-1)!= " ") {wordcounter++} // Counts the spaces while ignoring double spaces, usually one in between each word.
if (wordcounter > 250) {field.value = field.value.substring(0, x);}
else {countfield.value = maxlimit - wordcounter;}
}
}
function textCounter(field, countfield, maxlimit) {
if (field.value.length > maxlimit)
{field.value = field.value.substring(0, maxlimit);}
else
{countfield.value = maxlimit - field.value.length;}
}

Here are the textarea fields...
<textarea name="Q3367" cols="50" rows="4" wrap="hard" onKeyDown="wordCounter(this.form.Q3367,this.form.remLen,250);" onKeyUp="wordCounter(this.form.Q3367,this.form.remLen,250);">
