setting getElementById().value equal to variable value

I'm working with the script below which works with FF but not with IE
7. To clarify, the part of the code which isn't working in IE 7 is
putting the value of variable y in the "totalString" input box and
alert.
Thanks for any help,
Louis
-------------------------------------------------
<script type="text/javascript">
function upperCase()
{
var x=document.getElementById("fname").value;
document.getElementById("fname").value=x.toUpperCa se();
//var b="used cars";
//alert(x);
}
function numFlag()
{
var y=document.getElementById("number").value;
document.getElementById("totalString").value="hell o"+y;
alert(y);
//document.write y;
}
</script>


<form>
Enter your name: <input type="text" id="fname"
onBlur="upperCase()"><br />
Enter your age: <input type="text" id="age" onBlur="alert(this.id)">
<br><br>
<select name="test" id="number" onChange="numFlag()" size="1">
<option>1</option>
<option>2</option>
<option>3</option>
</select<!---->

<br><br>
<input name="totalString" id="totalString"></form>

Works like a charm! Many thanks - is there an easy-to-reference
javascript book or site which might be of help for someone who
rarely uses it?
