[Javascript] onFocus getting error.

[BEKIM BACAJ]

Sorry, the code looks clean, don't understand thow, what:  current.select;  
stands for? But the code is limiting the numchars
as you stated with no error of any kind.

The onFocus event is not causing the error, your error is caused
somewhere else in the document, some baldy nested tags, unclosed tag,
ID conflict, semicolon char (;) in the wrong place etc. -But not this code.
The error is organicaly related with this function and the object that calls 
it.

onFocus='javascript:gotMe(this, 6);' consider this way:
onFocus='gotMe(this, 6)' of invoking the functions (except in
inline functions of <A> tags)!

And of course, try replacing the script code content from the bottom of the 
page to the top of it. If you call the nonexisting function you will always 
get the 'object expected' error.

If the line error coincidates with the first line of the statement
current.maxLen...
than the problem is of the different nature and it has be connected with the 
wrong HTML syntax not the script itself.
Salutations!
