Javascript + TinyMCE

Does anyone have javascript and tinymce experience?

I've used TinyMCE in most of the content management backends I've written. What sort of stuff do you need to know?

Well a game dev previously helped me to do this but i need an addition to what they gave me.

Basically limiting the character count on a specified textarea of tinymce on a page, the current code i have affects all tinymce textareas.

Here's the code:
[HTML]<script type="text/javascript" src="/jscripts/tiny_mce/tiny_mce.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
tinyMCE.init({
mode : "textareas",
theme : "advanced",
plugins : "bbcode",
theme_advanced_buttons1 : "bold,italic,underline,undo,redo,link,unlink,image,forecolor,styleselect,removeformat,cleanup,code",
theme_advanced_buttons2 : "",
theme_advanced_buttons3 : "",
theme_advanced_toolbar_location : "bottom",
theme_advanced_toolbar_align : "center",
theme_advanced_styles : "Code=codeStyle;Quote=quoteStyle",
theme_advanced_resizing : true,
theme_advanced_path : false,
content_css : "css/bbcode.css",
entity_encoding : "raw",
add_unload_trigger : false,
remove_linebreaks : false,
inline_styles : false,
forced_root_block : '',
convert_fonts_to_spans : false,
theme_advanced_statusbar_location : "bottom",
setup: function(ed) {
ed.onKeyUp.add(function(ed, e) {
// What is the max amount of characters you want
var maxChars = 255;
var content = tinyMCE.activeEditor.getContent();
// Remove any BBCode tags from the count
var strip = content.replace(/[/?(?:b|i|u|url|quote|code|img|color|size)*?.*?]/img, '');
// Set the text for what we want to display in the status bar
var text = strip.split(' ').length + " Words, " + strip.length + " Characters"
// Show the status bar message
tinymce.DOM.setHTML(tinymce.DOM.get(tinyMCE.activeEditor.id + '_path_row'), text);
// Is there more Characters than we want
if (strip.length > maxChars)
{
// Show an alert (can comment out)
alert("Sorry too many characters " + strip);
// Get all characters up to the limit
cur = strip.substring(0,maxChars);
// Replace content with the max amount
tinyMCE.activeEditor.setContent(oldContent);
}

else
{
oldContent = content;

}

});

}
});[/HTML]
