That looks very interesting. I will try it. Thank you very much.

I have to use this when I want netscape to work with mousedown, mousemove, and mouseup:

<head>
&lt;script language="Javascript"&gt;
	if(document.layers)
	{
		document.captureEvents(Event.MOUSEDOWN | Event.MOUSEMOVE | Event.MOUSEUP);
	}
document.onmousedown = evtMousedown;
document.onmousemove = evtMousemove;
document.onmouseup = evtMouseup;

function evtMousedown(evt) {
// Function with mousedown stuff, variable "evt" is the clicked object.
}

function evtMousemove(evt) {
// Function with mousemove stuff
}

function evtMouseup(evt) {
// Function with mouseup stuff
}
&lt;/script&gt;
</head>

Maybe it can be modified for onkeypress or onkeydown.

Thank you

Thank you very much. I think I need a more recent edition of a JavaScript book!

In IE, I could not get onkeypress to work, but I could get onkeyup to work.

In Netscape I could not get either to work.

So I will still use onfocus/onchange on my page, and add in onkeyup for the benefit of my visitors who are fortunate enough to use IE.

The onkey* listeners don't detect changes made by mouse (copy/paste).

Depending on your circumstances, you may or may not want to trigger the string compare function with onfocus and onclick events.

Something to keep in mind.

tags have the following JS events:
onblur, onchange, onclick, ondblclick, onfocus, onkeydown, onkeypress, onkeyup, onmousedown, onmousemove, onmouseout, onmouseover, onmouseup, onselect

I would say, use onkeypress to triger a custom function. You could then compare th input value before the key was pressed (string length - 1), and the key pressed (char at string length), and decide what to do about it.
