hi
welcome to aspfree...

please put your code in the
code tags

or you can select your code part and click on the # button in the editor..



that would help you get a quicker response....

I think you'd be better off scrapping the event listening, and use
something simpler like a RegEx to make sure no non-numeric values
get entered...

hi aashishnakra....
sorry coz not do in proper..

here is my code

onkeypress function works in mozilla. There are some other things that you need to fix in your code.

1) window.event does not work in firefox. Hence modify ValidateNumeric function as below.

if(window.event)
keyPressed = window.event.keyCode; //for IE
else
keyPressed = e.which; // others

Use keyPressed variable in your if condition to compare.


2) In the textarea html, there are spaces in between which is not allowed. Correct it. I think i should be the name of the field where you want to show the count.

javascript:textCounter(this.form.komen,this.form.r emLen,500);

Also use
e.preventDefault();instead of window.event.returnValue = false;
