    The error is Object expected

    Hi all.

    Why this script not working?

    The error is Object expected in the line:

    var new_ = concat(concat(o re,":"), min);

    Code:
    <html>

<head>
<script>

function insertColon(id){
var stringa = document.getElementById(id).value;
var ore = stringa.substr(0,2);
var min = stringa.substr(2,2);

var new_ = concat(concat(ore,":"), min);

document.getElementById(id).value = new_;
}
</script>
</head>

<body>

<input id="testo" type="text" name="ora" size="5" onchange="java-script:insertColon('testo')"/>

</body>

</html>
    Can you help me?

      Get rid of "java-script:" - you don't need it and even if you were to use it, it would be "javascript ".

      Where is concat defined?

              concat is not defined. Did you mean to use the String object's concat() method?

                  Concat is for joining arrays.

                  Its working now, many thanks.

                  Code:
                  <html>

<head>
<script>

function insertColon(id){
	var stringa = document.getElementById(id).value;
	var ore = stringa.substr(0,2);
	var min = stringa.substr(2,2);
	
	var new_ = ore + ":" + min;
	document.getElementById(id).value = new_;
}
</script>
</head>

<body>

<input id="testo" type="text" name="ora" size="25" onchange="javascript:insertColon('testo')"/>

</body>

</html>

                      ...and for strings, e.g.
                      [code=javascript]var new_ = ore.concat(":", min);[/code]Anyway, glad it's working.
