Need your help: "fuction not defined" problem

[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

Code: Select all

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

HTML: Select all

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

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

The slash in 'text\JavaScript' is the wrong way round and I suggest you use all lowercase. So you want;

Code: Select all

<script type='text/javascript'....

i remember something about 'event' being an IE only property
