Javascript not working in Firefox

Expand Post »

I'm having a bit of a problem getting my javascript to run in Firefox (version 2.0). It works fine in IE6.

Here's the HTML:

HTML Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
<td>
  Black Eyed Susan
</td>
<td align="center">
  <input type="text" name="blackeyedsusan" value="" size="3" maxlength="3" onChange="javascript:calculatecharges();"/>
</td>
<td>
  Black Eyed Susan
</td>
<td align="center">
  <input type="text" name="blackeyedsusan" value="" size="3" maxlength="3" onChange="javascript<b></b>:calculatecharges();"/>
</td>

And the script:

JavaScript Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
function calculatecharges() {
    var totalPackets = 
        Number(blackeyedsusan.value) +
        ... various other things...    ;
function calculatecharges() {
    var totalPackets = 
        Number(blackeyedsusan.value) +
        ... various other things...    ;

When this function executes, I get the following error on the Error Console:

Error: blackeyedsusan is not defined

Any ideas?

Re: Javascript not working in Firefox

I think you need to reference the form name as well so it would be something like this:

Number(document.formName.blackeyedsusan.value) ...
