I'm having some annoying issues with some code I modified in order to have the focus change from one input box to the next after the maximum amount of characters have been reached (This specific script will be for entering phone numbers).
Most importantly, the code seems to be working fine inline (minus the warnings if i open the javascript cosole) BUT if I throw the code into its own .js file and call it from the page, it gives me functionality problems.
The code is bringing up the following message in the Firefox Javascript Console,
"Error: [Exception..."'Permission denied to get property XULElement.selectedIndex' when calling method: [nslAutoCompletePopup::selectedIndex]" nsresult:"0x8057001e(NS_ERROR_XPC_JS_THREW_STRING)"location: "JSframe :: [localhost...] :: check3 :: line 48" data: no]"
Here is the code:

Anyone know what is going on here...does the error message have to do with my .js file issues?
Also, for those of you (if any) who really get into this (and I really hope that you do)...is there a better way to optimize my code, as I'm not seeing one currently that is worth the trouble.
Muchos Gracias,
Mike

Another likely cause is referring to js code that remains in the html file but is in another block.
Having skimmed through your js code, I can't see anything likely to throw an error (unless you left in the <script> tags top and bottom. However, I also noticed that all the js seems to be specific for that one page. Normally, page-specific code is left embedded in html pages. You only need to move js code to external files if it is general purpose and will be shared between two or more html pages.
muneepenee,
You may think your daft English is really clever and super cool - it isn't. Some members of WebmasterWorld struggle with plain english never mind your variety. I for one will not waste my time reading what you have to say if you can't say it properly.
