Maybe the problem is somewhere else then. Strings have a .length which is the number of characters in them, .val() gets the value of the first element selected (input, texarea, select, etc.) and $(this) should only point to your textarea when it's responding to the keyup event. Could you show the updated code and the associated html maybe ?
