Word Count in Multiline NOT working :(

Word Count in Multiline NOT working :(

Hello all....


I have the following script to stop a user from submitting a narration text to us that is above 125 words.

However, for some reason, the submission does not get cancelled... 


wordsList=input.narration.toList("  ");
wordsCount=wordsList.size();
if(wordsCount  >  125)
{
alert ("Sorry. Only 125 Words or less are allowed.  Please correct your narration text accordingly.  Thank you.");
cancel submit;
}


Thank you very much.

Francois
