I am trying to write a script to do the follow:

there are 2 edit boxes... First i will write a number in the first edit box and after another number in the second box... In the second edit box it must not let me to write a number bigger than the number in the first edit box...

When i stop writing in the second edit box it must display a message to say that it must be lower than the number in the first edit box...

My try is:

<html>
<head>
<title></title>
</head>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
function CHECK(){
if (parseInt(document.submitform.two.value) > parseInt(document.submitform.one.value))
{
alert("Please insert a smaller number than the first edit box ");
return "out of range";
}
}

</SCRIPT>

<body>
<FORM ACTION="next.asp" METHOD="post" name="submitform">
<input type = "text" name = "one" value="" size="20">

Now its displaying the message when you submit the form...

what i am trying to do is to display the message as soon as you finish writing the number in the edit box

is there an event called *onfocus* in the edit box in order to execute the function as soon as you move out from the edit box...?

thanks for the help.
