... in the body, I have a form called frmSRA. With the following code:

<FORM NAME=&quot;frmSRA&quot;>

...

<TR>
<TD><FONT SIZE=-1>Hourly Compensation:</FONT></TD>
<TD VALIGN=&quot;TOP&quot;>
$ <INPUT TYPE=&quot;TEXT&quot; NAME=&quot;hourly_rate&quot; MAXLENGTH=7 SIZE=4> x
<INPUT TYPE=&quot;TEXT&quot; NAME=&quot;total_hours&quot; MAXLENGTH=7 SIZE=4 onFocus=&quot;chkHourlyRate()&quot;> HRS = $
<INPUT TYPE=&quot;TEXT&quot; NAME=&quot;total_pay&quot; MAXLENGTH=7 SIZE=5 onFocus=&quot;calculatePay()&quot;>
</TD>
</TR>

...

<INPUT TYPE=&quot;BUTTON&quot; NAME=&quot;UpdateCompensation&quot; VALUE=&quot;Update Hourly Compensation&quot; onClick=&quot;updateComp(38235,4338)&quot;>
</FORM>

The problem is that if I take out the javascript function updateComp() then the program works well with no erros. But as soon as I put the javascript function updateComp() back in, then the program refuse to work properly. The javascript error occurs at the input text box called total_hours when the eventhandler onFocus=&quot;chkHourlyRate()&quot; tries to execute.

The javascript error: Object expected. I can't figure out what object is it expecting and why this only happens when I leave the javascript function updateComp() in.

Can some help.

First of all the call of updateComp from the button tries to pass two numbers and the function doesn't have two objects in the brackets on declaration. Plus there is a trailing &quot;\&quot; after the semi-colon &quot;SraWindow = window.open(url);\&quot;

Thanks Klae. That was it!
