Gets the total number of characters that are available for rendering within the current element.
  |
Syntax
retVal = object.getNumberOfChars();
Parameters
This method has no parameters.
Standards information
- Scalable Vector Graphics: Text, Section 10.17.1
Remarks
The total number of characters includes referenced characters from tref reference, regardless of whether they are rendered.
The total number of characters is effectively equivalent to the length of the textContent attribute from the DOM Level 3 Core specification (section 1.4), if that attribute also expands tref elements.
