I am using the following code:


<!-- sample3_1.html -->
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" 
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<title>Sample 3_1</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
<script type="text/javascript" language="Javascript" src="autocomp.js"></script>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="autocomp.css" />
</head>
<body>
<form action="" method="post" onload="javascript: createform();">
<div id="createtask" class="formclass"></div>
<div id="autocompletediv" class="autocomp"></div>
<div id="taskbox" class="taskboxclass"></div>
<div id="messagebox">
</div>
<b>Your Name</b><br />
'''<input id="yourname" style="width: 150px; height: 20px;" type="text" value="" 
		onkeypress="return autocomplete(this.value, event)" />'''
	<br></br>
Your Task<br />
<textarea style="height: 80px;"></textarea><br />
<input type="button" value="Submit" onclick="javascript: validateform('yourname')" />
<div align="center"><a href="javascript:closetask()">close</a></div>
</form>

</body>
</html>

In the file has the following code autocomp.js:

...

//
function autocomplete(thevalue, e)
{
 var theextrachar =  window.event ? window.event.keyCode : e.which;
 
 theObject = document.getElementById("autocompletediv");
 theObject.style.visibility = "visible";
 theObject.style.width = "152px";
 var posx = 0;
 var posy = 0;
 posx = (findPosX (document.getElementById("yourname")) + 1);
 posy = (findPosY (document.getElementById("yourname")) + 23);
 theObject.style.left = posx + "px";
 theObject.style.top = posy + "px";
//The location we are loading the page into.
 var objID = "autocompletediv";
 
//Take into account the backspace.
 if (theextrachar == 8)
	{
	 return(true);
	}

 if ( thevalue.length == 0 )
	{
	 var serverPage = "autocomp.php" + "?sstring=" + String.fromCharCode(theextrachar);
	}
 else 
	{
	 return(true);
	}
//
 var obj = document.getElementById(objID);
 xmlhttp.open("GET", serverPage, true);
 xmlhttp.onreadystatechange = function() 
	{
	 if (xmlhttp.readyState == 4 && xmlhttp.status == 200) 
		{
		 obj.innerHTML = xmlhttp.responseText;
		}
	}
 xmlhttp.send(null);
}
//

...

Running sample3_1.html and putting a character in the field Your Name Firebug displays the following error: autocomplete is not a function.

<input id="yourname" style="width: 150px; height: 20px;" type="text" value="" 
		onkeypress="return autocomplete(this.value, event)" />

What I find is strange is that in IE and Chrome work without problem.

Please what am I doing wrong?

Thank you in advance for your help!
