Hide the Next Button Until a Particular Character/Word Count is Achieved

Hide the Next Button Until a Particular Character/Word Count is Achieved was created by TreyBrasher
In order to get a deep response, I would like to code a question so that the 'next' button will not appear until a minimum character/word count is reached. I have very little coding experience but spent the last few hours trying to piece together code other people have written to first hide the 'next' button, and then display it again after the character count is reached. The code I attempted is attached. It is written in the question code. My skill level is obviously not up to snuff and I cannot find a solution in the forum. Please help! Thanks in advance.

You need (among other things) to incorporate a listener on the textarea. (adjust the minCharacters variable as required)

Code:
<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8"> $(document).on('ready pjax:scriptcomplete',function(){ // Identify this question var thisQuestion = $('#question{QID}'); var thisTextArea = $('textarea:eq(0)', thisQuestion); // Set minimum characters var minCharacters = 10; function handleCharacterCount() { var thisVal = $.trim($(thisTextArea).val()); var thisCount = thisVal.length; $('.character-count', thisQuestion).text(thisCount); if(thisCount <= minCharacters) { $('#ls-button-submit').prop('disabled', true); } else { $('#ls-button-submit').prop('disabled', false); } } // Initial state handleCharacterCount(); // Listener on the textarea $(thisTextArea).on('keyup change', function(e) { handleCharacterCount(); }); }); </script>
