Debug this code i dont get any alerts

 

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;

Code (javascript):

regards

 

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)

 

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
