for some reason this code is not working for me...I get "Error:Object expected"

do you see an error?

Code:

<script type= "text/javascipt">
function ValidatePhoneNumbers (source, args)
{
    var phoneHome = document.getElementByID('<%= PhoneHome.ClientID %>');
    var phoneBusiness = document.getElementById('<%= PhoneBusiness.ClientID %>');
    if (phoneHome.value !='' || phoneBusiness.value !='')
    { 
    args.IsValid = true;
    }
    else
    {
    args.IsValid = false;
    }
 }

</script>

Hi there,

Take a look at how you spell getElementById. In one line you use getElementByID, and in the other you use getElementById. It should be getElementById.

Hope this helps,

Also, it's

<script type="text/javascript">

instead of

<script type= "text/javascipt">

Haha, I noticed you deleted your previous message. I guess you figured out its Id, not id... ;-) Darn case-sensitive languages.....

Cheers,
