<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
function addDashes(f)

num = f.phoneNum.value;
parts = [num.slice(0,3),num.slice(3,6),num.slice(6,10)];

onBlur="addDashes(f)"
---------------------------------------
{ str = "sleep is good for you. sleep gives you the energy you need to function";
ptr = /sleep/gi;Nstr = str.replace(ptr,"coffee"
;alert(Nstr); }

getting closer.
The "addDashes(f)" gives me a F is undefined error.
So I changed it to
onBlur='addDashes(this.form)'
Which *works* it pops up and says what the phone number should be - but I close the alert and the phone number stays as origionally inputted - it does not get changed to include the dashes.
