The following code worked with IE, but not with Firefox:

var fieldcontent=document.forms(0).Body.value if (fieldcontent.length > 150)


User Agent

Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1; .NET CLR 1.1.4322; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; .NET CLR 3.0.04506.30)

Use square brackets instead of rounded brackets (it's an array)

var fieldcontent=document.forms[0].Body.value if (fieldcontent.length > 150)
