Hashing password authentication with JavaScript?

Password = base64 encoded(sha1(nonce+created+secret))
where:
nonce = 186269,
created = 2015-07-08T11:31:53+01:00,
secret = Ok4IWYLBHbKn8juM1gFPvQxadieZmS2
should give ZDg3MTZiZTgwYTMwYWY4Nzc4OGFjMmZhYjA5YzM3MTdlYmQ1M2ZkMw== as password. I am approaching with:
I need the JavaScript for this.

As per security standards this is still not good to perform such coding, one should always do this in backend programming language & get value from API Calls.
but you can use the sha1 function below to do sha1 hashing in JavaScript:
function sha1 (str) {

i receive data type Uint8Array from port serial how can i transfer to decimal value [ web serial port ] [duplicate]

I have some UTF-8 encoded data living in a range of Uint8Array elements in Javascript. Is there an efficient way to decode these out to a regular javascript string (I believe Javascript uses 16 bit Unicode)? I dont want to add one character at the time as the string concaternation would become to CPU intensive.

TextEncoder and TextDecoder from the Encoding standard, which is polyfilled by the stringencoding library, converts between strings and ArrayBuffers:
var uint8array = new TextEncoder().encode("someString");
var string = new TextDecoder().decode(uint8array);

This should work:

function Utf8ArrayToStr(array) {
var out, i, len, c;
var char2, char3;
out = "";
len = array.length;
i = 0;
while(i < len) {
c = array[i++];
switch(c >> 4)
{
case 0: case 1: case 2: case 3: case 4: case 5: case 6: case 7:
// 0xxxxxxx
out += String.fromCharCode(c);
break;
case 12: case 13:
// 110x xxxx 10xx xxxx
char2 = array[i++];
out += String.fromCharCode(((c & 0x1F) << 6) | (char2 & 0x3F));
break;
case 14:
// 1110 xxxx 10xx xxxx 10xx xxxx
char2 = array[i++];
char3 = array[i++];
out += String.fromCharCode(((c & 0x0F) << 12) |
((char2 & 0x3F) << 6) |
((char3 & 0x3F) << 0));
break;
}
}
return out;
}
It's somewhat cleaner as the other solutions because it doesn't use any hacks nor depends on Browser JS functions, e.g. works also in other JS environments.
Check out the JSFiddle demo.
Also see the related questions: here and here

Here's what I use:
var str = String.fromCharCode.apply(null, uint8Arr);

In Node "Buffer instances are also Uint8Array instances", so buf.toString() works in this case.

In NodeJS, we have Buffers available, and string conversion with them is really easy. Better, it's easy to convert a Uint8Array to a Buffer. Try this code, it's worked for me in Node for basically any conversion involving Uint8Arrays:
let str = Buffer.from(uint8arr.buffer).toString();
We're just extracting the ArrayBuffer from the Uint8Array and then converting that to a proper NodeJS Buffer. Then we convert the Buffer to a string (you can throw in a hex or base64 encoding if you want).
If we want to convert back to a Uint8Array from a string, then we'd do this:
let uint8arr = new Uint8Array(Buffer.from(str));
Be aware that if you declared an encoding like base64 when converting to a string, then you'd have to use Buffer.from(str, "base64") if you used base64, or whatever other encoding you used.
This will not work in the browser without a module! NodeJS Buffers just don't exist in the browser, so this method won't work unless you add Buffer functionality to the browser. That's actually pretty easy to do though, just use a module like this, which is both small and fast!

Found in one of the Chrome sample applications, although this is meant for larger blocks of data where you're okay with an asynchronous conversion.
/**
* Converts an array buffer to a string
*
* #private
* #param {ArrayBuffer} buf The buffer to convert
* #param {Function} callback The function to call when conversion is complete
*/
function _arrayBufferToString(buf, callback) {
var bb = new Blob([new Uint8Array(buf)]);
var f = new FileReader();
f.onload = function(e) {
callback(e.target.result);
};
f.readAsText(bb);
}

The solution given by Albert works well as long as the provided function is invoked infrequently and is only used for arrays of modest size, otherwise it is egregiously inefficient. Here is an enhanced vanilla JavaScript solution that works for both Node and browsers and has the following advantages:
• Works efficiently for all octet array sizes
• Generates no intermediate throw-away strings
• Supports 4-byte characters on modern JS engines (otherwise "?" is substituted)
var utf8ArrayToStr = (function () {
var charCache = new Array(128); // Preallocate the cache for the common single byte chars
var charFromCodePt = String.fromCodePoint || String.fromCharCode;
var result = [];
return function (array) {
var codePt, byte1;
var buffLen = array.length;
result.length = 0;
for (var i = 0; i < buffLen;) {
byte1 = array[i++];
if (byte1 <= 0x7F) {
codePt = byte1;
} else if (byte1 <= 0xDF) {
codePt = ((byte1 & 0x1F) << 6) | (array[i++] & 0x3F);
} else if (byte1 <= 0xEF) {
codePt = ((byte1 & 0x0F) << 12) | ((array[i++] & 0x3F) << 6) | (array[i++] & 0x3F);
} else if (String.fromCodePoint) {
codePt = ((byte1 & 0x07) << 18) | ((array[i++] & 0x3F) << 12) | ((array[i++] & 0x3F) << 6) | (array[i++] & 0x3F);
} else {
codePt = 63; // Cannot convert four byte code points, so use "?" instead
i += 3;
}
result.push(charCache[codePt] || (charCache[codePt] = charFromCodePt(codePt)));
}
return result.join('');
};
})();

Uint8Array to String
let str = Buffer.from(key.secretKey).toString('base64');
String to Uint8Array
let uint8arr = new Uint8Array(Buffer.from(data,'base64'));

I was frustrated to see that people were not showing how to go both ways or showing that things work on none trivial UTF8 strings. I found a post on codereview.stackexchange.com that has some code that works well. I used it to turn ancient runes into bytes, to test some crypo on the bytes, then convert things back into a string. The working code is on github here. I renamed the methods for clarity:
// https://codereview.stackexchange.com/a/3589/75693
function bytesToSring(bytes) {
var chars = [];
for(var i = 0, n = bytes.length; i < n;) {
chars.push(((bytes[i++] & 0xff) << 8) | (bytes[i++] & 0xff));
}
return String.fromCharCode.apply(null, chars);
}
// https://codereview.stackexchange.com/a/3589/75693
function stringToBytes(str) {
var bytes = [];
for(var i = 0, n = str.length; i < n; i++) {
var char = str.charCodeAt(i);
bytes.push(char >>> 8, char & 0xFF);
}
return bytes;
}
The unit test uses this UTF-8 string:
// http://kermitproject.org/utf8.html
// From the Anglo-Saxon Rune Poem (Rune version)
const secretUtf8 = `ᚠᛇᚻ᛫ᛒᛦᚦ᛫ᚠᚱᚩᚠᚢᚱ᛫ᚠᛁᚱᚪ᛫ᚷᛖᚻᚹᛦᛚᚳᚢᛗ
ᛋᚳᛖᚪᛚ᛫ᚦᛖᚪᚻ᛫ᛗᚪᚾᚾᚪ᛫ᚷᛖᚻᚹᛦᛚᚳ᛫ᛗᛁᚳᛚᚢᚾ᛫ᚻᛦᛏ᛫ᛞᚫᛚᚪᚾ
ᚷᛁᚠ᛫ᚻᛖ᛫ᚹᛁᛚᛖ᛫ᚠᚩᚱ᛫ᛞᚱᛁᚻᛏᚾᛖ᛫ᛞᚩᛗᛖᛋ᛫ᚻᛚᛇᛏᚪᚾ᛬`;
Note that the string length is only 117 characters but the byte length, when encoded, is 234.
If I uncomment the console.log lines I can see that the string that is decoded is the same string that was encoded (with the bytes passed through Shamir's secret sharing algorithm!):

Do what #Sudhir said, and then to get a String out of the comma seperated list of numbers use:
for (var i=0; i<unitArr.byteLength; i++) {
myString += String.fromCharCode(unitArr[i])
}
This will give you the string you want,
if it's still relevant

If you can't use the TextDecoder API because it is not supported on IE:
You can use the FastestSmallestTextEncoderDecoder polyfill recommended by the Mozilla Developer Network website;
You can use this function also provided at the MDN website:
function utf8ArrayToString(aBytes) {
var sView = "";
for (var nPart, nLen = aBytes.length, nIdx = 0; nIdx < nLen; nIdx++) {
nPart = aBytes[nIdx];
sView += String.fromCharCode(
nPart > 251 && nPart < 254 && nIdx + 5 < nLen ? /* six bytes */
/* (nPart - 252 << 30) may be not so safe in ECMAScript! So...: */
(nPart - 252) * 1073741824 + (aBytes[++nIdx] - 128 << 24) + (aBytes[++nIdx] - 128 << 18) + (aBytes[++nIdx] - 128 << 12) + (aBytes[++nIdx] - 128 << 6) + aBytes[++nIdx] - 128
: nPart > 247 && nPart < 252 && nIdx + 4 < nLen ? /* five bytes */
(nPart - 248 << 24) + (aBytes[++nIdx] - 128 << 18) + (aBytes[++nIdx] - 128 << 12) + (aBytes[++nIdx] - 128 << 6) + aBytes[++nIdx] - 128
: nPart > 239 && nPart < 248 && nIdx + 3 < nLen ? /* four bytes */
(nPart - 240 << 18) + (aBytes[++nIdx] - 128 << 12) + (aBytes[++nIdx] - 128 << 6) + aBytes[++nIdx] - 128
: nPart > 223 && nPart < 240 && nIdx + 2 < nLen ? /* three bytes */
(nPart - 224 << 12) + (aBytes[++nIdx] - 128 << 6) + aBytes[++nIdx] - 128
: nPart > 191 && nPart < 224 && nIdx + 1 < nLen ? /* two bytes */
(nPart - 192 << 6) + aBytes[++nIdx] - 128
: /* nPart < 127 ? */ /* one byte */
nPart
);
}
return sView;
}
let str = utf8ArrayToString([50,72,226,130,130,32,43,32,79,226,130,130,32,226,135,140,32,50,72,226,130,130,79]);
// Must show 2H₂ + O₂ ⇌ 2H₂O
console.log(str);

Try these functions,
var JsonToArray = function(json)
{
var str = JSON.stringify(json, null, 0);
var ret = new Uint8Array(str.length);
for (var i = 0; i < str.length; i++) {
ret[i] = str.charCodeAt(i);
}
return ret
};
var binArrayToJson = function(binArray)
{
var str = "";
for (var i = 0; i < binArray.length; i++) {
str += String.fromCharCode(parseInt(binArray[i]));
}
return JSON.parse(str)
}

I'm using this function, which works for me:
function uint8ArrayToBase64(data) {
return btoa(Array.from(data).map((c) => String.fromCharCode(c)).join(''));
}

For ES6 and UTF8 string
decodeURIComponent(escape(String.fromCharCode(...uint8arrData)))

By far the easiest way that has worked for me is:
//1. Create or fetch the Uint8Array to use in the example
const bufferArray = new Uint8Array([10, 10, 10])
//2. Turn the Uint8Array into a regular array
const array = Array.from(bufferArray);
//3. Stringify it (option A)
JSON.stringify(array);
//3. Stringify it (option B: uses #serdarsenay code snippet to decode each item in array)
let binArrayToString = function(binArray) {
let str = "";
for (let i = 0; i < binArray.length; i++) {
str += String.fromCharCode(parseInt(binArray[i]));
}
return str;
}
binArrayToString(array);

Using base64 as the encoding format works quite well. This is how it was implemented for passing secrets via urls in Firefox Send. You will need the base64-js package. These are the functions from the Send source code:
const b64 = require("base64-js")
function arrayToB64(array) {
return b64.fromByteArray(array).replace(/\+/g, "-").replace(/\//g, "_").replace(/=/g, "")
}
function b64ToArray(str) {
return b64.toByteArray(str + "===".slice((str.length + 3) % 4))
}

With vanilla, browser side, recording from microphone, base64 functions worked for me (I had to implement an audio sending function to a chat).
const ui8a = new Uint8Array(e.target.result);
const string = btoa(ui8a);
const ui8a_2 = atob(string).split(',');
Full code now. Thanks to Bryan Jennings & breakspirit#py4u.net for the code.

var s: string = "[";
for(var i: number = 0; i < uInt8Array.byteLength; i++)
{
if( i > 0 )
s += ", ";
s += uInt8Array[i];
}
s += "]";
return s;
}
Remove the type annotations if you need the JavaScript version.
Hope this helps!

HEX to Base64 converter for JavaScript

Anyone know of a good snippet of JavaScript code to convert HEX encoded strings to base64 encoded strings?

If you're working in Node or using Browserify, you can use
var base64String = Buffer.from(hexString, 'hex').toString('base64')
or
var hexString = Buffer.from(base64String, 'base64').toString('hex')

The excellent comment by #dandavis is modified by StackOverflow, and has some weird hidden characters.
Here it is as one liner :
btoa("a6b580481008e60df9350de170b7e728".match(/\w{2}/g).map(function(a){return String.fromCharCode(parseInt(a, 16));} ).join(""))
or :
function hexToBase64(hexstring) {
return btoa(hexstring.match(/\w{2}/g).map(function(a) {
return String.fromCharCode(parseInt(a, 16));
}).join(""));
}
hexToBase64("a6b580481008e60df9350de170b7e728");
Both return :
"prWASBAI5g35NQ3hcLfnKA=="
Note that the hex string should have an even length :
hexToBase64("00");
// => "AA=="
hexToBase64("000");
// => "AA=="

if (!window.atob) {
var tableStr = "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789+/";
var table = tableStr.split("");
window.atob = function (base64) {
if (/(=[^=]+|={3,})$/.test(base64)) throw new Error("String contains an invalid character");
base64 = base64.replace(/=/g, "");
var n = base64.length & 3;
if (n === 1) throw new Error("String contains an invalid character");
for (var i = 0, j = 0, len = base64.length / 4, bin = []; i < len; ++i) {
var a = tableStr.indexOf(base64[j++] || "A"), b = tableStr.indexOf(base64[j++] || "A");
var c = tableStr.indexOf(base64[j++] || "A"), d = tableStr.indexOf(base64[j++] || "A");
if ((a | b | c | d) < 0) throw new Error("String contains an invalid character");
bin[bin.length] = ((a << 2) | (b >> 4)) & 255;
bin[bin.length] = ((b << 4) | (c >> 2)) & 255;
bin[bin.length] = ((c << 6) | d) & 255;
};
return String.fromCharCode.apply(null, bin).substr(0, bin.length + n - 4);
};
window.btoa = function (bin) {
for (var i = 0, j = 0, len = bin.length / 3, base64 = []; i < len; ++i) {
var a = bin.charCodeAt(j++), b = bin.charCodeAt(j++), c = bin.charCodeAt(j++);
if ((a | b | c) > 255) throw new Error("String contains an invalid character");
base64[base64.length] = table[a >> 2] + table[((a << 4) & 63) | (b >> 4)] +
(isNaN(b) ? "=" : table[((b << 2) & 63) | (c >> 6)]) +
(isNaN(b + c) ? "=" : table[c & 63]);
}
return base64.join("");
};
}
function hexToBase64(str) {
return btoa(String.fromCharCode.apply(null,
str.replace(/\r|\n/g, "").replace(/([\da-fA-F]{2}) ?/g, "0x$1 ").replace(/ +$/, "").split(" "))
);
}
function base64ToHex(str) {
for (var i = 0, bin = atob(str.replace(/[ \r\n]+$/, "")), hex = []; i < bin.length; ++i) {
var tmp = bin.charCodeAt(i).toString(16);
if (tmp.length === 1) tmp = "0" + tmp;
hex[hex.length] = tmp;
}
return hex.join(" ");
}

I liked the approach from #eric-duminil nevertheless the solution below - avoiding regex - is ~2x faster.
Browser:
function hexToBase64(hexStr) {
return btoa([...hexStr].reduce((acc, _, i) =>
acc += !(i - 1 & 1) ? String.fromCharCode(parseInt(hexStr.substring(i - 1, i + 1), 16)) : ""
,""));
}
OR
// even a bit faster
function hexToBase64(hexStr) {
let base64 = "";
for(let i = 0; i < hexStr.length; i++) {
base64 += !(i - 1 & 1) ? String.fromCharCode(parseInt(hexStr.substring(i - 1, i + 1), 16)) : ""
}
return btoa(base64);
}
Node:
const base64 = Buffer.from(hexStr, 'hex').toString('base64');

Large strings, no btoa
Solution below is good for large strings - if you want to get bytes from base64 then look HERE
function bytesArrToBase64(arr) {
const abc = "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789+/"; // base64 alphabet
const bin = n => n.toString(2).padStart(8,0); // convert num to 8-bit binary string
const l = arr.length
let result = '';
for(let i=0; i<=(l-1)/3; i++) {
let c1 = i*3+1>=l; // case when "=" is on end
let c2 = i*3+2>=l; // case when "=" is on end
let chunk = bin(arr[3*i]) + bin(c1? 0:arr[3*i+1]) + bin(c2? 0:arr[3*i+2]);
let r = chunk.match(/.{1,6}/g).map((x,j)=> j==3&&c2 ? '=' :(j==2&&c1 ? '=':abc[+('0b'+x)]));
result += r.join('');
}
return result;
}
function hexToBytes(hexString) {
return hexString.match(/.{1,2}/g).map(x=> +('0x'+x));
}
// ---------
// TEST
// ---------
let hexString = "a6b580481008e60df9350de170b7e728";
let bytes = hexToBytes(hexString);
let base64 = bytesArrToBase64(bytes);
console.log(base64);

How to parse a string for having line breaking

I would like to have a function which takes 3 arguments:
sentence (string),
maxCharLen=20 (number),
separator (string)
and transform the sentence based on the parameters.
Example
var sentence = "JavaScript is a prototype-based scripting language that is dynamic, weakly typed and has first-class functions."
var newSentence = breakSentence(sentence, maxCharLen=20, separator="<br>");
newSentence // JavaScript is a prototype-based <br> scripting language that is dynamic, <br> weakly typed and has first-class functions.
P.S:
This is what I have tried:
var breakSentence = function (sentence, maxCharLen, separator)
{
sentence = sentence || "javascript is a language" ;
maxCharLen = 10 || maxCharLen; // max numb of chars for line
separator = "<br>" || separator;
var offset;
var nbBreak = sentence.length // maxCharLen;
var newSentence = "";
for (var c = 0; c < nbBreak; c += 1)
{
offset = c * maxCharLen;
newSentence += sentence.substring(offset, offset + maxCharLen) + separator;
}
return newSentence;
}
It works in this way:
breakSentence() // "javascript<br> is a lang<br>uage<br>"
it should be:
breakSentence() // "javascript<br>is a <br>language"

Here's a solution: http://snippets.dzone.com/posts/show/869
//+ Jonas Raoni Soares Silva
//# http://jsfromhell.com/string/wordwrap [v1.0]
String.prototype.wordWrap = function(m, b, c){
var i, j, l, s, r;
if(m < 1)
return this;
for(i = -1, l = (r = this.split("\n")).length; ++i < l; r[i] += s)
for(s = r[i], r[i] = ""; s.length > m; r[i] += s.slice(0, j) + ((s = s.slice(j)).length ? b : ""))
j = c == 2 || (j = s.slice(0, m + 1).match(/\S*(\s)?$/))[1] ? m : j.input.length - j[0].length
|| c == 1 && m || j.input.length + (j = s.slice(m).match(/^\S*/)).input.length;
return r.join("\n");
};
usage:
var sentence = "JavaScript is a prototype-based scripting language that is dynamic, weakly typed and has first-class functions."
sentence.wordWrap(20, "<br>",true)
// Output "JavaScript is a <br>prototype-based <br>scripting language <br>that is dynamic, <br>weakly typed and has<br> first-class <br>functions."

I would try it like that (not tested):
var breakSentence = function (sentence, maxCharLen, separator)
{
var result = "";
var index = 0;
while (sentence.length - index > maxCharLen)
{
var spaceIndex = sentence.substring(index, index + maxCharLen).lastIndexOf(' ');
if (spaceIndex < 0) //no spaces
{
alert('Don\'t know what do do with substring with one long word');
spaceIndex = maxCharLen; //assume you want to break anyway to avoid infinite loop
}
result += sentence.substring(index, index + spaceIndex + 1) + separator;
index += spaceIndex + 1;
}
return result;
}
Should break after spaces only now...

Here is my attempt to get it. It has two things you should notice:
it first removes all the separator instances (so the reordering is completely new)
it doesn't break words longer then maxCharLen characters.
It worked in node 0.6.10
var breakSentence = function (sentence, maxCharLen, separator) {
var words = [] // array of words
, i // iterator
, len // loop
, current = '' // current line
, lines = [] // lines split
;
sentence = sentence || "javascript is a language";
maxCharLen = 10 || maxCharLen;
separator = separator || "<br>";
sentence = sentence.replace(separator, '');
if (sentence.length < maxCharLen) return [sentence]; // no need to work if we're already within limits
words = sentence.split(' ');
for (i = 0, len = words.length; i < len; i += 1) {
// lets see how we add the next word. if the current line is blank, just add it and move on.
if (current == '') {
current += words[i];
// if it's not like that, we need to see if the next word fits the current line
} else if (current.length + words[i].length <= maxCharLen) { // if the equal part takes the space into consideration
current += ' ' + words[i];
// if the next word doesn't fit, start on the next line.
} else {
lines.push(current);
current = words[i];
// have to check if this is the last word
if (i === len -1) {
lines.push(current);
}
}
}
// now assemble the result and return it.
sentence = '';
for (i = 0, len = lines.length; i < len; i += 1) {
sentence += lines[i];
// add separator if not the last line
if (i < len -1) {
sentence += separator;
}
}
return sentence;
}

Count bytes in textarea using javascript

I need to count how long in bytes a textarea is when UTF8 encoded using javascript. Any idea how I would do this?
thanks!

encodeURIComponent(text).replace(/%[A-F\d]{2}/g, 'U').length

Combining various answers, the following method should be fast and accurate, and avoids issues with invalid surrogate pairs that can cause errors in encodeURIComponent():
function getUTF8Length(s) {
var len = 0;
for (var i = 0; i < s.length; i++) {
var code = s.charCodeAt(i);
if (code <= 0x7f) {
len += 1;
} else if (code <= 0x7ff) {
len += 2;
} else if (code >= 0xd800 && code <= 0xdfff) {
// Surrogate pair: These take 4 bytes in UTF-8 and 2 chars in UCS-2
// (Assume next char is the other [valid] half and just skip it)
len += 4; i++;
} else if (code < 0xffff) {
len += 3;
} else {
len += 4;
}
}
return len;
}

[June 2020: The previous answer has been replaced due to it returning incorrect results].
Most modern JS environments (browsers and Node) now support the TextEncoder API, which may be used as follows to count UTF8 bytes:
const textEncoder = new TextEncoder();
textEncoder.encode('⤀⦀⨀').length; // => 9
This is not quite as fast as the getUTF8Length() function mentioned in other answers, below, but should suffice for all but the most demanding use cases. Moreover, it has the benefit of leveraging a standard API that is well-tested, well-maintained, and portable.

If you have non-bmp characters in your string, it's a little more complicated...
Because javascript does UTF-16 encode, and a "character" is a 2-byte-stack (16 bit) all multibyte characters (3 and more bytes) will not work:
<script type="text/javascript">
var nonBmpString = "foo€";
console.log( nonBmpString.length );
// will output 5
</script>
The character "€" has a length of 3 bytes (24bit). Javascript does interpret it as 2 characters, because in JS, a character is a 16 bit block.
So to correctly get the bytesize of a mixed string, we have to code our own function fixedCharCodeAt();
function fixedCharCodeAt(str, idx) {
idx = idx || 0;
var code = str.charCodeAt(idx);
var hi, low;
if (0xD800 <= code && code <= 0xDBFF) { // High surrogate (could change last hex to 0xDB7F to treat high private surrogates as single characters)
hi = code;
low = str.charCodeAt(idx + 1);
if (isNaN(low)) {
throw 'Kein gültiges Schriftzeichen oder Speicherfehler!';
}
return ((hi - 0xD800) * 0x400) + (low - 0xDC00) + 0x10000;
}
if (0xDC00 <= code && code <= 0xDFFF) { // Low surrogate
// We return false to allow loops to skip this iteration since should have already handled high surrogate above in the previous iteration
return false;
/*hi = str.charCodeAt(idx-1);
low = code;
return ((hi - 0xD800) * 0x400) + (low - 0xDC00) + 0x10000;*/
}
return code;
}
Now we can count the bytes...
function countUtf8(str) {
var result = 0;
for (var n = 0; n < str.length; n++) {
var charCode = fixedCharCodeAt(str, n);
if (typeof charCode === "number") {
if (charCode < 128) {
result = result + 1;
} else if (charCode < 2048) {
result = result + 2;
} else if (charCode < 65536) {
result = result + 3;
} else if (charCode < 2097152) {
result = result + 4;
} else if (charCode < 67108864) {
result = result + 5;
} else {
result = result + 6;
}
}
}
return result;
}
By the way...
You should not use the encodeURI-method, because, it's a native browser function ;)

Add Byte length counting function to the string
String.prototype.Blength = function() {
var arr = this.match(/[^\x00-\xff]/ig);
return arr == null ? this.length : this.length + arr.length;
}
then you can use .Blength() to get the size

I have been asking myself the same thing. This is the best answer I have stumble upon:
http://www.inter-locale.com/demos/countBytes.html
Here is the code snippet:
<script type="text/javascript">
function checkLength() {
var countMe = document.getElementById("someText").value
var escapedStr = encodeURI(countMe)
if (escapedStr.indexOf("%") != -1) {
var count = escapedStr.split("%").length - 1
if (count == 0) count++ //perverse case; can't happen with real UTF-8
var tmp = escapedStr.length - (count * 3)
count = count + tmp
} else {
count = escapedStr.length
}
alert(escapedStr + ": size is " + count)
}
but the link contains a live example of it to play with. "encodeURI(STRING)" is the building block here, but also look at encodeURIComponent(STRING) (as already point out on the previous answer) to see which one fits your needs.
Regards

encodeURI(text).split(/%..|./).length - 1

How about simple:
unescape(encodeURIComponent(utf8text)).length
The trick is that encodeURIComponent seems to work on characters while unescape works on bytes.

Try the following:
function b(c) {
var n=0;
for (i=0;i<c.length;i++) {
p = c.charCodeAt(i);
if (p<128) {
n++;
} else if (p<2048) {
n+=2;
} else {
n+=3;
}
}return n;
}

set meta UTF-8 just & it's OK!
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html;charset=utf-8">
and js:
if($mytext.length > 10){
// its okkk :)
}
