How do i pass the special characters [ and ] in a javascript function's parameters?

Heres the code I have currently that doesnt work:

PHP Code:

onKeyDown="limitText(this.form.email[body],this.form.countdown,100);" 
onKeyUp="limitText(this.form.email[body],this.form.countdown,100);" 


Using [ and ] is referencing an array key. If you are wanting to pass it as a literal characture, you need to quote it. "[" "]"

Dang, I tried that and it didnt work

You need to quote inside it, obviously what you're doing is accessing a property of email called body, so the correct way would be:

onkeydown="limitText(this.form.email['body'],this.form.countdown,100);"
onkeyup="limitText(this.form.email['body'],this.form.countdown,100);"

If that does not work, then body is not a property of email.

Cheers,
