This extension will add the characters count and limit for the contact form. It will tell you how many characters are left to enter, as well as the minimum characters that are required. As you tape, the count is changed, and when the minimum is reached, the red text is gone. When the maximum count is met, you can't enter any more characters, so your customers can't end up with a warning that they have entered too little characters or they crossed the maximum limit.

Just see the images from the Additional Images tab, and you'll get the idea ;)

This extension is available as a manual installation, as well as a vQmod .xml file.

If you need any help, free installation is on its way. Just contact me by leaving a comment, or via forum's PM (GoGo OpenCart).
