Function not defined problem 1

[irida]

Hello everybody! I have a problem, in IE my code works properly, but Firefox writes "Error: guardMaxLength is not defined" the code is following:

checklength.js

function guardMaxLength(ta,event)
{  
    maxlength=parseInt(ta.maxlength,10);
    if(ta.value.length>=maxlength)
    {   
       return false
    }
    ta.value=value;
}

<script type="text\JavaScript" src="checkLength.js">

</script>
<textarea maxlength="10" onkeypress="return guardMaxLength(this, event)" >
Thanks a lot!

I beleive you have the slash the wrong way round

<script type="text[b]\[/b]JavaScript" src="checkLength.js">

should be

<script type="text/JavaScript" src="checkLength.js">

Is your code copied and pasted from the original files? That's real important so we see the EXACT code that's causing the errors.

i'm curious why you're using a textarea for only 10 characters when you can use an input, then use maxlength="10"

problem solved. no javascript!

K.I.S.S. like it ArtWerk that's worth a star even if it's not the answer they want and there is a reason for the textarea!

Certainly, I'm using it with length more, than 10. But when I'm just writing I want to check it, and it's more convinient to use smaller length It was just an example.
