Debug this code i dont get any alerts

[gnp]

The id on one element is F2 but you try to access it as f2.

Javascript is case sensitive so it fails.

this will work
var llen = document.getElementById('F2').value.length;

i dont know what was the error but when i retyped the dito code line by line it worked

anyways thanks i know that(case sensitive)

[gnp]

if you notice on my post (and your original code)

you where retrieving the element using a small-case f instead of the capital F (which you used for the id of the element..)

that is why i mentioned it ... it was the actual error..

glad you finally got it working :)
