restricting input tags to maximum 5
I have got following jquery tags plugin.
I want to to restrict maxmimum 5 tags, so that user can not enter more than 5 words (separated by spaces). Can someone please help me doing it? Thanks.. Following is original plugin code:
(function($) {
var delimiter = new Array();
jQuery.fn.addTag = function(value,options) {
var options = jQuery.extend({focus:false},options);
this.each(function() {
id = $(this).attr('id');
var tagslist = $(this).val().split(delimiter[id]);
if (tagslist[0] == '') {
tagslist = new Array();
}
value = jQuery.trim(value);
if (value !='') {
$('<span class="tag">'+value + ' <a href="#" title="Remove tag" onclick="return $(\'#'+id + '\').removeTag(\'' + escape(value) + '\');">x</a></span>').insertBefore('#'+id+'_addTag');
tagslist.push(value);
$('#'+id+'_tag').val('');
if (options.focus) {
$('#'+id+'_tag').focus();
} else {
$('#'+id+'_tag').blur();
}
}
jQuery.fn.tagsInput.updateTagsField(this,tagslist);
});
return false;
};
jQuery.fn.removeTag = function(value) {
this.each(function() {
id = $(this).attr('id');
var old = $(this).val().split(delimiter[id]);
$('#'+id+'_tagsinput .tag').remove();
str = '';
for (i=0; i< old.length; i++) {
if (escape(old[i])!=value) {
str = str + delimiter[id] +old[i];
}
}
jQuery.fn.tagsInput.importTags(this,str);
});
return false;
};
jQuery.fn.tagsInput = function(options) {
var settings = jQuery.extend({defaultText:'add a tag',width:'300px',height:'100px','hide':true,'delimiter':',',autocomplete:{selectFirst:false}},options);
this.each(function() {
if (settings.hide) {
$(this).hide();
}
id = $(this).attr('id')
data = jQuery.extend({
pid:id,
real_input: '#'+id,
holder: '#'+id+'_tagsinput',
input_wrapper: '#'+id+'_addTag',
fake_input: '#'+id+'_tag',
},settings);
delimiter[id] = data.delimiter;
$('<div id="'+id+'_tagsinput" class="tagsinput"><div id="'+id+'_addTag"><input id="'+id+'_tag" value="" default="'+settings.defaultText+'" /></div><div class="tags_clear"></div></div>').insertAfter(this);
$(data.holder).css('width',settings.width);
$(data.holder).css('height',settings.height);
if ($(data.real_input).val()!='') {
jQuery.fn.tagsInput.importTags($(data.real_input),$(data.real_input).val());
} else {
$(data.fake_input).val($(data.fake_input).attr('default'));
$(data.fake_input).css('color','#666666');
}
$(data.holder).bind('click',data,function(event) {
$(event.data.fake_input).focus();
});
// if user types a comma, create a new tag
$(data.fake_input).bind('keypress',data,function(event) {
if (event.which==event.data.delimiter.charCodeAt(0) || event.which==13) {
$(event.data.real_input).addTag($(event.data.fake_input).val(),{focus:true});
return false;
}
});
$(data.fake_input).bind('focus',data,function(event) {
if ($(event.data.fake_input).val()==$(event.data.fake_input).attr('default')) {
$(event.data.fake_input).val('');
}
$(event.data.fake_input).css('color','#000000');
});
if (settings.autocomplete_url != undefined) {
$(data.fake_input).autocomplete(settings.autocomplete_url,settings.autocomplete).bind('result',data,function(event,data,formatted) {
if (data) {
d = data + "";
$(event.data.real_input).addTag(d,{focus:true});

}
$(event.data.fake_input).val($(event.data.fake_input).attr('default'));
$(event.data.fake_input).css('color','#666666');
return false;
});
} else {
// if a user tabs out of the field, create a new tag
// this is only available if autocomplete is not used.
$(data.fake_input).bind('blur',data,function(event) {
var d = $(this).attr('default');
if ($(event.data.fake_input).val()!='' && $(event.data.fake_input).val()!=d) {
event.preventDefault();

Probably the easiest solution is to change line 89 of jquery.tagsinput.js from:
var skipTag = $(tagslist).tagExist(value);
to:
var skipTag = $(tagslist).length > 5 || $(tagslist).tagExist(value);

best way is to count the number of "tag" classes already added, and then you can handle it differently, for example you can prevent showing the "add a tag" input once 5 tags inserted by defining maxTags and updating jQuery.fn.addTag and jQuery.fn.removeTag :

var tagslist = $(this).val().split(delimiter[id]);
if (tagslist[0] == '') {
tagslist = new Array();

value = jQuery.trim(value);
if (value !='') {
$('<span class="tag">'+value + ' <a href="#" title="Remove tag" onclick="return $(\'#'+id + '\').removeTag(\'' + escape(value) + '\');">x</a></span>').insertBefore('#'+id+'_addTag');
