Now I’ve read the thread from the beginning.

Were you able to get the first (charcounter) one working?

For a quick test I just pasted the following into my view (in my case the js directory is located one level above application dir)

$cs = Yii::app()->clientscript;

$cs->registerScriptFile(Yii::app()->baseUrl.'/../js/jquery.charcounter.js');

$cs->registerScript('limitText', '$("#'.CHtml::activeId($model, 'mytextarea').'").charCounter(5);');

If still no luck, check for error messages in Firebug Console.

Try this

Yii::app()->clientScript->registerScript('limitText',

  '$("#'.CHtml::activeId($model, 'RejectReason').'").charCounter(5);');
