I am using tinymce editor on the textarea. I am able to initialize the text editor but I now want to get the wordcount in the text editor on key press. Is there a easy way of getting the wordcount using the tiny mce when the user types the words.

Very easy, there is already a plugin for that.

http://www.tinymce.com/wiki.php/Plugin:wordcount

Example:

tinymce.init({
    plugins: "wordcount"
});

Update

Regarding your comment, you want a max limit on words. There are multiple solutions to this, and a lot of resources on the subject already. Check this out:
