mithra · Jun 2, 2000

Hi,   here I have a problem:    My HTML page works fine in IE and it is not working properly with NN4.6 .   What could be the reason ? How to overcome this proplem ? It contains simple text boxes and Edit Boxes.   The Detail Code is given Here : <HTML> <head> <script language = "JavaScript"> function setfocus() {         document.first.SignInName.focus();         return; } function Validate(){ var check = true; var letters = document.first.SignInName.value;     if(chkLetters(letters)==false){     document.first.SignInName.select();     document.first.SignInName.focus();     alert("Please fill the SignInName field&quot

;     return false;     } var letters = document.first.Password.value;    if(letters == "&quot

{     document.first.Password.select();     document.first.Password.focus();     alert("Please fill the Password field&quot

;     return false;     } var letters = document.first.FirstName.value;     if(chkLetters(letters)==false){     document.first.FirstName.select();     document.first.FirstName.focus();     alert("Please fill  the FirstName field&quot

;     return false;     } return check; } function chkLetters(field){ if(field!="&quot

{     for (var i = 0; i < field.length; i++){     var chr = field.substring(i, i + 1);        if (((chr < "a" ¦¦ "z" < chr) && (chr < "A" ¦¦ "Z" < chr)) && chr != ' ') {         alert("Please enter only alphabetic (a-z) characters and spaces in this field&quot

;                 return false;                  }     } }else{ return false; } return true; } </script> <meta name="Microsoft Theme" content="copy-of-rice-paper 111"> </head> <BODY onLoad = "setfocus()" background="ricebk.jpg" bgcolor="#CCCC99" text="#000000" link="#6666CC" vlink="#336633" alink="#000099" >  <blockquote> <blockquote> <blockquote>       <blockquote>                      <H2>         </H2>                            </blockquote>     </blockquote>   <H3>Profile Information - I</H3>    </blockquote> </blockquote>     <FORM  NAME = "first" ACTION="Signup_SP2.htm"  > <BLOCKQUOTE> <blockquote>   <blockquote> Sign-In Name: <INPUT TYPE="TEXT" NAME="SignInName" SIZE="20"> Password: <INPUT TYPE="PASSWORD" NAME="Password" SIZE="18"> First Name: <INPUT TYPE="TEXT" NAME="FirstName" SIZE="20"> Middle Name: <INPUT TYPE="TEXT" NAME="MiddleName" SIZE="18"> Last Name: <INPUT TYPE="TEXT" NAME="LastName" SIZE="20"> Adress: <INPUT TYPE="TEXT" NAME="Adress" SIZE="18"> City: <INPUT TYPE="TEXT" NAME="City" SIZE="20"> State: <INPUT TYPE="TEXT" NAME="State" SIZE="18"> Zip Code: <INPUT TYPE="TEXT" NAME="ZipCode" SIZE="20"> Country: <INPUT TYPE="TEXT" NAME="Country" SIZE="18"> Email-id: <INPUT TYPE="TEXT" NAME="Email-id" SIZE="20"> Phone: <INPUT TYPE="TEXT" NAME="Phone" SIZE="18"> <blockquote>   <blockquote> <INPUT TYPE="SUBMIT" NAME="Signup" Value ="Signup"  >   </blockquote> </blockquote>   </blockquote> </blockquote> </blockquote>  <H5>      </H5>  </FORM>  </BODY> </HTML>    Thanks In Advance Mithra

There are two things I found.  First, you originally wrote in the below statement: ..."z" < chr ....  Note the change I made to ...chr > "z"....  You can't compare a value to a variable, you must compare a variable to a value.  Unless this is a quirk I don't know abut in JS.  Also, your 'or' operator seemed to be incorrect even though it looks fine.  I don't know what the deal is there, but I wouldn't have found it had I not run it through my scripting program and checked for syntax.  Try retyping your 'or' operators as I have below.  Once I made those changes, it appeared to work in both browsers.  Also, my syntax checker says you're good down to Netscape 2.0 and IE 3.0 with respect to the SCRIPT. if (((chr < "a" ¦¦ chr > "z&quot

&& (chr < "A" ¦¦ chr > "Z" )) && chr != ' ') {

Russ. what tool do you use for syntax checking? nick bulka <a href=mailto: > </a> <a href= > </a>

I'm usng a trial version of NetObjects ScripBuilder.  You can find i at <A HREF="

http://www.netobject.com&nbsp"

http://www.netobject.com&nbsp</A>; It's

a little expensive, $134, and I normally wouldn't shell out that kind of money for just a script editor.  But I really like his one.  I'm not sure it's worth $134 but I think I'm going to bite the bullet. I especially like the syntax checking and the browser compatibility checks. Russ
