    Script working in IE not FF

    Not a JS guru, so can someone tell me why the following works on a .net aspx page in Javascript for IE, but no FF?

    Code:
                getAge = function(form) {
                    document.getElementById('txtDOB').value = ((document.getElementById('txtDOB').value).replace(new RegExp("/", "g"), "-"));
                    var now = new Date();
                    var DOB = new Date(document.getElementById('txtDOB').value);
                    var oneDay = 1000 * 60 * 60 * 24 * 365; //converts from milliseconds
                    document.getElementById('txtAge').value = parseInt((now.getTime() - DOB.getTime()) / oneDay);
                }
    
    
    <asp:TextBox ID="txtDOB" runat="server" onkeyup="javascript:getAge(this.form);" onkeydown="javascript:getAge(this.form);" />

    Did you check the Firefox Error Console before posting?

    Yes, nothing. It changes the "/" to "-", but doesn't compute the age. Works fine in IE. BTW - I'm using FF11 if it matters.

    I would guess that the issue is the regexp. Alert document.getElementById('txtDOB').value right after the regexp line.

    See what result that gives you for both browsers.

    I changed it to onBlur cause the alerts drove me nuts. In both cases, I got "1-21-1978". The difference being that the IE then calculates the age and the FF does not.

    Well...I tried the function and it worked for me in both. Put alerts after each line and see where it fails for you.
