Re: IE5.5 and javascript

<script>
<!--
function maxwordcount(cur){
var maxwords=100
if (document.images){
var temp=cur.split(" ")
if (temp.length>maxwords){
alert("Sorry, but you have exceeded the 100 word limit. Please reduce
the length of your company description. Thank you.")
return false
}
}
}
//-->
</script>

where do you get 'words' anyway? The other browsers are letting you treat
'cur' as if it were an object and add a method to it. IF 'cur' is a string
you should be able to split it without adding things to it. I haven't tested
that but it should work.
