hello,
 ok. im getting somewhere now. but having some problems. the javascript
that ive managed to get together is...

<script>
<!--

function maxwordcount(cur){
var maxwords=100
if (document.images){
var temp=cur.words.value.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>

on the multiline box that its going to before ive got..

<textarea name="description" cols="20" rows="7" onblur="return
maxwordcount(this)"></textarea>


but, its comming up with an error - 'words.value' is not an object. this
script ive taken from a freebie place and has taken a while to find it.
it was a validation thing for when a form is submitted but i changed it
to onBlur so when the cursor leaves the box then it comes up with the
error if youve gone over your 100 words. 
do i have to leave the script as an onsubmit validation? or am i doing
something wrong?
thankyou.

 Rob.
