Hello,
 Ive got a javascript that works fine, until you run it in IE 5.5. it
says that 'words.value' is null. not a value or an object. 

but no other browser seems to mind it. well... netscape 4.6/7 and IE 4
and 5.

it counds the words (sperated by a space ' ') and its called by an
onBlur attached to a multiline text box. if the word count (or space
count) is above 100 it lets you know. if the word count is less than 100
it lets you carry on with no hassles.

the scrip is as below...



<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>


anyone able to help? 
thankyou,
take care,
 Rob.
