I removed the "form" from the onKeyUp event, but it broke. Could you enlighten me a bit as to why or what it does?[/quote]Form fields have a [i]form[/i] property. Thus from any form field it is possible to go "one level up" to reach their owner FORM tag then access any of its form fields. It seems like you have an input field called [i]body[/i]. When you refer to it from the scope of the FORM you can use [i]this.body[/i], from the scope of another form field it is [i]this.form.body[/i], from the scope of the input field called [i]body[/i] it is simply [i]this[/i], or you can go "one level up" ( to the FORM ) then down to the field using [i]this.form.body[/i] but that's a pit pointless. Hence in your keyup should read:[code]onkeyup="textLimit(this, 150);"[/code] Hope that helps, [url=http://www.p01.org/][img]http://poi.ribbon.free.fr/files/p01_ozoneasylum_sig_galaxy.gif[/img][/url] [small](Edited by [url=http://www.ozoneasylum.com/user/2185]poi[/url] on 07-06-2006 21:25)[/small] Loading...
