How to onkeypress work on Mozilla Firefox?

185 100+

I tried to code a javascript that will count the characters written in a text box and show in a div tag. To do this i used <code>onkeypress</code> in my text box. The code is working in Internet Explorer 6, Opera 10.60 and GOOGLE Chrome. But not in Mozilla Firefox 3.6.13. The code is given below. Please, help.

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">

function counter(val)

{

    document.getElementById('c').innerText=document.getElementById(val).value.length;

}

</script>

</head>

<body>
 
<input type="text" id="txt" name="txt" onkeypress="counter('txt')"/><div id="c"></div>
 
</body>

</html>

Thanks

innerText is proprietary to IE. the DOM-compliant property is named textContent. the best compromise is probably innerHTML

@Dormilich:

Thanks :)
innerHTML is working on the 4 browsers correctly, i mentioned.

Ok, I need another help. I need a div tag for the above code. Think the input object has maxLength=25. When I type 25 characters in that input box, a div will flashed for 3 seconds and hides automatically after 3seconds. What should I do to solve this matter.

Thanks again!!!!
