Validate Length

[saw15]

End user will enter a code on form, I need to ensure that this code is no longer than 6 characters.

Thought I could use something like:

if (document.Submit.CODE.length.value > 6 )
{
alert("Please enter a valid code.\n"
document.Submit.CODE.focus();
return;
}

But this errors out, what am I doing wrong ? Help is much appreciated.

Take out the .value. .length is a value already. Never too old to learn...

if (document.Submit.CODE.value.length > 6 ) {
alert("Please enter a valid code.\n");
document.Submit.CODE.focus();
return false;
}

or...
<form name = &quot;myform&quot;>
<field name = &quot;myfield&quot; maxlength = &quot;6&quot;>
</form> How many software developers does it take to change a light bulb?
None: it works in everyone else’s office, it must work in yours too.
