NS4 won't pick up function parameters

[francesL]

Does anybody have any idea why this function won't pick up the second parameter - called 'allowedL' - passed from a form field in Netscape 4? Everything works in IE and NS6.

The function is:

function CheckLength(theInput, allowedL){
if(theInput.value.length > allowedL){
var shorterInput = theInput.value.slice(0,(theInput.value.length-1))
theInput.value = shorterInput;
return false;
}
}

The function is called from text inputs and text areas like this:

onKeyPress="CheckLength(this,25)"

1% or whatever. All I know is that I get several emails a day from people who have got errors submitting the form and I think it's too long entries in NS4 which is the cause.

So I need a fix......

OK then
you'll need to rewrite the entire function
I do not believe the slice() and onKeyPress function and event are available or were available in NN4

may be wrong but I'm fairly certain nothing useful was available in NN$ _________________________________________________________
