Javascript Problem!!!
OK, I finally got somewhere with a description for an 'ERROR ON PAGE" I was receiving for the following code:
Code:

It is saying that there is a problem with the line of code "document.f.word is not an object"
Can someone please explain why this is happening?
:confused:
Thank you very much!!

Salvatore,
It runs error free for me.
Ez
-
Runs fine for me too. WHich line is the error coming from?
-
When I try to run it on my Intranet site, i get the messages "Error on Page" down in the left hand corner.
When I click on that icon, I get the reason for the error....it says that the line of code on line 62 ' document.f.word ' is not an object...
I just do not understand why it works for you guys but not my browser....any suggestions???????????????????
-
Are you sure it isn't a little different on your Intranet? That's about the only thing I can think of. Also maybe try document.forms['f'].word instead?
