Javascript Object Expected Error in IE (Working Safari/Chrome/FF)

[Pezmc]

Simple JS to clear fields and enable/disable a submit button, it works fine in all browsers except IE (grr...)

 

IE throws a Object expected error on line 19, 21, 32 & 34 of the html

L19

onfocus="join_field(this,'[email protected]')" onblur="leave_field(this,'[email protected]')" /></p>

L21

onfocus="join_field(this,'p4ssxord')" onblur="leave_field(this,'p4ssxord')" /></p>

L32

onfocus="join_field(this,'03cucjamf')" onblur="leave_field(this,'03cucjamf')" /></p>

L34

onfocus="join_field(this,'p4ssxord')" onblur="leavefield(this,'p4ssxord')"  /></p>

 

I have absolutely no idea what is causing this error. Why is IE always so different?

Does anyone know what is causing it & how to fix it?

 

<form id="activate" name="activate" method="post" action="">
      	<div class="legend">Activate Your Account</div>
        <div class="form"> 
              <p><label for="username">SLS Username: </label><input type="text" name="username" id="username" value="03cucjamf"
              		onfocus="join_field(this,'03cucjamf')" onblur="leave_field(this,'03cucjamf')" /></p>
              <p><label for="password">SLS Password: </label><input type="password" name="password" id="password" value="p4ssxord"
              		onfocus="join_field(this,'p4ssxord')" onblur="leavefield(this,'p4ssxord')"  /></p>
              <p><input type="submit" name="submit" id="activateb" value="Activate" disabled="disabled" /></p>
        </div>
      </form>

I don't think this is a PHP question.

 

Do you have a leave_field() function? I only see leavefield().

[Pezmc]

Sorry epic fail on the forum chosen...

 

leave_field is the same as leavefield I was just testing removing the _ to see if it made a difference.

What version of internet explorer are you using? I just pasted that code and didn't get any errors.
