Did you make any effort to search this out for yourself. There are plenty of examples of this to be found using a simple Google search.

Google: javascript word count

And to get you started you could base a solution around: my_text_field.split(/\s/).length

Correction: Make sure you get the string value for the text field for use with split():

jQuery example: $('#my_text_field').val().split(/\s/).length
