I need to limted the number of words a user can enter into a textbox on an asp.net webform.  I suppose that the words need to be counted as the user is entering them and then stopped when they reach the maximum word count.  Does anybody have any examples of how to do this?

No need to use Javascript, Use MaxLength property of textbox.
Eg.

ASP.NET

<asp:textbox id="txt" runat="server" maxlength="20"></asp:textbox>

Good luck.

Try spliting the content of textbox and include condition array length not exceeding 20.

In Javascript you have "Split" function. Try google it.
