String.value and String.value.length doesn't works together in IE with JVM

07-16-2003

String.value.length and String.value doesn't work together in a single
function in IE. I've no problem running either of this, but not together at
the same time.

var myMessage=document.Formcalc.splitword.value;
document.writeln(myMessage);

var total_length=document.Formcalc.splitword.value.len gth;
document.writeln(total_length); //missing here.

It works if I run only one of the statement above, but not both. No such
problem in Mozilla or Opera.
Bugs?

pls comment.

The first document.writln opens, clears and replaces the current
document.

> var total_length=document.Formcalc.splitword.value.len gth;

So now there is no form and no textarea within it. ("document.Formcalc
is null or not an object")

> document.writeln(total_length); //missing here.

You are lucky if it works in any browser.
