[SOLVED] Javascript string length validation?

Recommended Posts

Hello, I wanted to use an if statement within a working function that alerts the user if the amount of characters that they have entered in the field is too short.  I made up this thinking it would work but it doesn't:

 

if (document.getElementById('searchField').str.length < 3 )
{
	alert("The search keyword is too short please be more specific.");
	document.getElementById('searchField').focus();return(false)
}

 

could anyone fix this for me so if a user enters less than three characters in the field it errors?  Thanks.
